    Need Help: Decware + La Scala or KHorns

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I don't watch video reviews.  I typically read about previous owners.  Just because I'm on this thread, doesn't mean I'm going down one path.  This is all just a fun goof.  I've bought plenty of American stuff  ....I can't buy it all.  Well maybe one day......

     

    My buddy is gettin' one on these....so I'm doing it too.  I bought a Transcendent OTL amp once new....just because a friend loved his.  Learned a lot and had fun.  I bought ALL the Juicy Music stuff.  Bought Nosvalve stuff..   Bought AmpsandSounds..... and countless number of McIntosh amps......  All not have even heard before.  No sweat.   Heck, buy some old Mac amps and send to John Warren.

     

    If I can get to them all....I will.  Never heard or even seen a Decware product.  Yeah...  I'll stand in line.  No sweat.  Laugh while I do it.

     

    Hey Op.  Sorry that amp is hummin' on you.  That Sweetwater product is something to try.  I have a another version of that as well by Rolls.  My best experience has been with Jenson Transformers....when all else fails.  But.... that costs dough.  I have one here waitin' until when my Decware arrives.  I'll keep it dusted with my coaster and bourbon.

    April 10, 2024 will be two years I have been waiting on a pair of SE84UFO.  I was around number 1250 when I purchased, and now I am around number 400.

     

    How stupid.......I will never do anything like that again.  I hope I still have the same email and phone number when they finally build those things.  I hope I have the same address.  I hope I am still alive.  🙂

    I'm on this silly list too #2233 out of #2462.  It's almost like...."hey, everyone else is doing it".

     

    I have the stereo unit 2.1 version with anniversary updates and added XLR.  Could be 5 or 6 years before I get mine....if that ever happens.  Heck, I've moved since the order.  Many units will come up for sale on the used market ....so I could have just snatched those.

    McIntosh MC2100 teardown/restoration

    This product I've used in more than one system and I own 2 of them.  I feel it doesn't degrade the sound.  Makes those vintage amps dead quiet when hooked to a pro active XO.  

     

    JW may not approve...but it helps me.  The bottom MC250 is all RCA from the Mac preamp to the Heresys.  The top one I have the Jenson to use that with dbx and MC250 amp for the Klipsch horns.  Quiet as a mouse.

    MC30 pair

    Amazing work.  I'm shocked you are able to preserve the lettering on the chrome.

     

    I'm still enjoying the two MC250's you turned into perfect condition.   Attachment is a quick wired setup in a newly refinished small room.

     

    Can you do amazing things to a MC225?

    Is there any "required" maintenace recommended after 30 years?

    KG 5.2 I bought in 1994, Okinawa.

    Very good speaker.  I bought a pair at the same time you did.  Don't sell them....I think they were the best of the KG series.  

     

    Yes I would change out the capacitors....I'm an Auricap fan

    First time I've seen this thread.  That list of those gone is sad to think about.  I had no idea Roger passed.  Anyone want to share the brief details of that?  Seems it wasn't so long ago he and I were discussing that huge KP600 system that he has.

     

    I would add CigarBum to the list.  Bob Greene from North Georgia who passed about two years ago.   Retired Railroad man that I visited often.  He had a cabin full of Klipsch.
