  1. Gran Centenario Plata for margaritas; Sauza Hornitos when I'm out of the Plata. El Jimador Reposado is nice for sipping. I'm not into the $70 tequilas.
  2. I use Audacity (with the lame_enc.dll encoder) and it'll do this job pretty well. From what I've heard the LAME encoder isn't the best even though it suits my needs (voice podcasts). iTunes can certainly do it, too, and the quality might be better. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Audacity Beta 1.3.2 (Unicode) seems very stable. I've yet to have it crash, unlike 1.3.0 Both of the above are FREE
  3. I flipped channels and caught this in the middle. Amazing music. The guy playing the six-string bass was outstanding. I wish I'd Tivo'd it from the beginning.
  4. I have an HLS center that I'm not using. I stripped the vinyl and covered it in oak veneer. It looks pretty decent. If you want it to match the 820s you can just paint it black. $100 plus shipping and packaging. I also have 4 610s and 2 410s if you're interested. PM me.
  5. For those of you who post URLs to web pages (on the Klipsch Forums or elsewhere) and notice that the actual address is sometimes many, many characters long, there's a simple solution. . . www.tinyurl.com . . . will take ANY size URL and shrink it to a very manageable size. My own trivia related forums are normally reached at: http://www.totallylivetrivia.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.cgi But tinyurl shrinks it to: http://tinyurl.com/45h2q It's a great service. It's free and no advertising. Try it and you may like it. Mark
  6. While you're at Parts Express, enter "dust cap" in the search box and you'll find a bunch of them. Paper, poly, 2 in. to 5 in., and they cost between $1 and $2 each. No need to live with missing or poked in dust caps.
  7. I defer to Dr. Who. My experience was tip and ring short, but my memory is fuzzy now that I try to remember where I knew that. The good thing about this forum is bad information is usually corrected quickly. Sorry for my mistake.
  8. I have a pair in my kitchen. Don't even ask why. I just do. Here's how they measure: 11/16 plywood (including veneer) back is 5/8 in. high front is 2 3/8 in. high Rectange is 12 1/8 X 14 All corners are mitred, and there is a glue block 3/4 X 3/4 X 1 1/4 in each of the front corners. Any other questions, just ask.
  9. Another woman said: KG4 --> Quartet --> Heresy I or II --> Forte I or II --> Chorus I'd switch the position of the Heresy and the Quartet. And there is a Chorus and Chorus II. I think you'll be hard pressed to find any but the KG-4 in your price range. It's possible, but you might have to be patient. A non-Klipsch alternative might be a used pair of JBL 4311s. If you go that way make absolutely sure that all the drivers are operating. Tweeter rebuilds are $120 each and woofer rebuilds are $270 each. Replacing anything in a Klipsch is a bargain by comparison. Good luck.
  10. A double RCA to either a two or three contact 1/4 in. phone plug will work. If you use the three contact (stereo) phone plug, the connector on the amp will almost certainly tie both the tip and ring contacts together. No harm to your player. It'll be fine.
  11. Wire nuts (aside from sounding like a really disturbing medical condition) are fine. They just look tacky.
  12. Don't forget Chorus (or Chorus II). I got a beautiful oak pair from a member here and they eat Heresys and even Quartets for lunch. Your room sounds like it was made for Khorns. I wish you had the $$$ for them. I wish I had the space for them.
