Bill ---------------- The only tube care I have had to do was replace two tubes. One channel didn't sound like the other channel so I started it swapping tubes from channel to channel till the problem replicated on the other channel then I replaced those tubes. The learning curve is not that high imho.: ). If you do run into a problem that you can't diagnose the members of this forum are always glad to give advice and help. I'd say go for it!!!!

---------------- As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. I have just about given up on FM. But the answer is still "no" for the same reasons previously stated. I have a talent for restoring vacuum tube audio equipment. I understand it and my bench is equipped for it, I have parts on the shelf for it and I enjoy it. It is my niche. Why should I mess with SS? DR BILL ---------------- Have you thought about satalite XM radio. I had it in my truck for a while and the channels were amazing any genre you could think of and not just the popular stuff. I was listening to bands i had only read about or heard about. I will get XM radio for the home system eventually as it is a grerat way to learn about new music.

Can you listen to any of the equipment in the museum? I guess not but that would be nice. Thanks for the info on the key what are the museum hours? I live in Little Rock so the drive wouldn't take that long..

You may all be right - of course - and my head is telling me you are - with regard to power cables at least, but I am a stubborn bugger and like to try things out for myself. One call just confirmed the $100 cable is now magically $60. That was without undue pressure from me - I think I can do better. Tonight will be a big night of testing for the $1000 (which I am sure will become $600 in similar fashion). It has had 24 hours of power running through it so it should be warmed up or whatever. Whatever happens - there is nothing purple entering this system! If by any wild stretch of the imagination this thing suddenly enthuses me with the desire to by it they will have to offer it in another colour or the deal is off. I am buying this jewelry - the least they can do is make it suit my style. Now I am off to listen. ---------------- I agree don't take anyone elses word for something until you have tried and tested for yourself. If someone had offered me some high price power cables, interconnects, or speaker cables to test I would definately try them out. Why not? You can either prove your gut feeling wrong or right and it's fun.

The "point" of owning a $1,000 lamp cord, or a $20,000 patch cord is really only understood by those who can afford to buy them. Conspicuous consumption is alive and well. Who would imagine a 265-foot yacht qualifies as "personal transportation?" Excess knows no bounds, never has. Everything is relative. mdeneen ---------------- If you build it overprice it someone will buy it

What good are power cables if you are going to just lay them on the floor. These are a must have for cables fossilized dinopoo cable risers or dinopoorisers or dinopiles lol http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6535089573 I need to find larger specimens though........

My dad was at Midway WWII not sure how I would have dealt with that situation.

I had them wrapped in so much plastic they looked like industrial Belles when i got home but not a drop of rain on them. For the love of klipsch no drive is too long Actually have contacts in Arizona that can pickup and then delivery to Arkansas St.Cueman has a ring to it........

I think Cueman should be considered for Klipsch Sainthood what a generous offer. What a great forum~! We can't wait to rebuild these puppies Thanks again Cueman! Seti

I can't wait to get my passive sub going as I have been putting it off till I get an AH! cdp. Members here have given me several affordable options for xovers and amps just need to sell some plasma. I haven't given much thought to using headphones since the lots on either side of my house are empty so neighbors are never a worry : ). Hmm something else to buy lol. The headphone amp on bottlehead.com looks pretty good. My friend has a Balanced Audio Technology sytem with some headphones I might have to go listen to it since I declined last time he offered to let me listen. It never fails on this forum say that you like SET or low powered amps and there is always someone to tell you why you shouldn't like it.
