there is a pic attached if anyone wants to see this mess Joe

YYYYYEEEESSSSS FINALLY GOT THEM ALL ALPHABATIZED, now to go thru and grade the doubles i have and see about selling them off, sure am glad that is over only have about 250 or 300 to go thru and grade from what i looked at though most of the vinyl seems to be very good or better, a few of the covers are rough but hey overall not to shabby Joe

Give us a follow up as how they sound and how you like them. I would love to hear them sometime. Larry ---------------- thanks larry, i am going to go up on sat evening and pick them up first thing sunday morning, i will definately post a thread about there sound and condition we know how sellers like to exagerate, any time you are in the aera and want a demo just shoot me an email i would be happy to demo them or any of my gear Joe

I believe they were '77s which had AA crossovers and the Alnico k55. . .I seem to remember AL's and newer k55's in these. Am I in left field on this one? ---------------- well im not sure if you are in left feild or not but the seller did not post any pics of the drivers and no information about replacements being made, where did you get your information. Joe

well guys i am up to the letter Q and running out of shelf space quick, these 3 mil vinyl sleeves eat up some space but they sure are nice, have 200 doubles to go thru and grade for sale so far, can figure i will find at least another 50, less than i thought i kinda figured i would have at least 400 doubles anyone interested in vinyl email i may have what you are looking for (classic rock, 70's mainly) Joe

thanks too all, i will be thinking hard about re veneering the scalas as they have 2 places where they were sanded thru where do you get all those differant types of veneer, of course that task will be after a period of just listening, i really dont want to sell my cornwalls and i may not, after all it has taken me 40 years to get this set-up, and its really hard to think about letting something like that go, my problem is limited space, AND I STILL WANT K-HORNS, seems a little crazy to move though to accomidate speakers. Joe

BTW - Doesn't mean I'm driving 800 miles with you but I'd like to hear them when you get back. ---------------- hey we can work something out for a demo no problem, i have to go to monticello new york 1.5 hrs north of nyc, i live in southern maryland about 1.5 or 2 hrs from you depending on the traffic. i will let you know when i am going to get them and when i will be back we can set up a demo time then Joe

Larry ---------------- MAN LARRY YOU COST ME SOME EXTRA BUCKS, WHY YOU WANT TO GO AND TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT MY LA SCALAS here i was trying to be all sneaky and stuff still got a good deal though but the discription isnt quite accurate on them i emailed the seller the 2 dark aeras are spots where the veneer was sanded thru (he said excellent shape) sure hope thats all there is to find wrong. ( just joking around by the way ) Joe

i sure hope all i have heard is true, everytime i read a thread comparing cornwalls to la scalas, the scalas always seem to be thought more highly of, i will now have 2 pairs of corns, 1 pair of heresys, and la scalas. THIS SITE IS KILLING ME, I MAY HAVE TO GO TO KLIPSCH ANNONAMOYS. DOES THIS EXIST IF NOT WE NEED TO CREATE IT, a 12 step program to aleviate the need for more and better klipsch , now i know i am going to have to line up all the speakers and throw a mattress on them just to have a place to sleep, now all i have to do is drive 800 miles round trip to pick the buggers up. any volunteers????? dont all raise your hands at once Joe

i wonder if the guy still thinks its alright to have primates in his home and that it is still no big deal when the bite, "animals bite, people bite, mike tyson bites, so what" this was his reply when his chimp bit off a womans finger. i bet he regrets ever saying that WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKK 3d i will be right over, you know of course i will require food and music????, how many albums you have there. i will have mine counted up within the next few days, looks like i will be selling close to 300 albums maybe a little less or more not sure going thru pulling out all the doubles (except for promos) trying to grade them as i go toss the crap, so far though majority of doubles are in very good shape some of the covers are worn but overall not too bad. do you think i should post a thread on here before i list them for auction, not sure how many guys or gals on here are vinyl freaks, one cool thing about going thru all the albums is you see alot of stuff forgot about and get to listen to it again Joe

As a former casino dealer, if I had a dollar for every time I heard a player bitc# about the other player's strategies, I would be retired. I typically am a "last minute" bidder as well, except in one circumstance: An item with no bids that I wish to remain posted until the end of the auction. If an item sits on ebay with no reserve and no bids, I like to place a minimum bid, so that the seller (hopefully) won't pull the auction. Bidding early and high generally serves no one (except the seller) well, IMO. To my way of thinking, having a $200 bid on a set of rare tubes 5 hours before the auction ends says "I dare you to outbid me". If you give someone enough time, someone just might do that, because you gave them time to talk themselves into it. If I wait until last minute, no one has the opportunity to ponder. I do, at times, wonder about unnecessary early bidding too - but that's the nature of ebay. Don't like blackjack players splitting tens? Find another table. Don't like bidding wars on ebay? Well, that's the nature of the game, so you might try audiogon or other sources for your goods. ---------------- NOT COMPLAINING, AND NEVER SAID I DONT LIKE IT SAID I DONT UNDERSTAND IT, WHY WOULD ANY NORMAL HUMAN DRIVE THE PRICE OF WHAT THEY WANT TO BUY HIGHER COMMON SENSE, TO ME BUT WHATEVER I JUST BIDE MY TIME AND LOOK AT THE NEXT ITEM FOR SALE, JOE

I'll play my game, you play yours. If you don't like it find another game. I bid what I'm willing to pay early. I don't care if it pushes the bidding up, I'm out to suit myself, not you. ---------------- you souund like a guy that knows what you are doing is a stupid way to bid on an auction so now to justify your ignorance you want to get on here and try to flame on me, enjoy bidding whatever you want to astronomical prices its your money, nobody cares least of all me. i get what i want in the end with or without you. i didnt start this thread to banter wit with anyone i simply made an observation and it has been my experience the people that take the most offense are the practicing whatever the observation was about, JOE

ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH, i know one of you fellas are bored and looking for something to do i have just the ticket!!!! come over to my house and ALPHABATIZE MY ALBUMS AND INSERT THEM INTO THERE NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES, only have 1500 to do. you know you wanna do this, dont all rush at once. no really slow down. i promise they will still be there in the morning Joe

my kinda people, i already started watching some lascalas let the monkeys beat themselves to death, i wont let 0 feedbacks bid my items up like that i try to follow my oun thoughts IE... i wont bid against a 0 feedback person if they look to be getting high as they have nothing to lose if they dont pay, cant go far down from zero, therefore i will cancel bids or email the bidder and ask for info. just my oun policy , Joe

hello what type price were the outlaw monos, where would i find them thanks Joe

i dont get it, why would a buyer of an item up for sale by auction bid early, and then get into a bidding war with someone else this only drives the price higher, some people need to think & bid with there brain and leave the hearts wants out of it, what purpose does it serve to try to outbid the next guy with 6 days left, perfect example is a set of khorns listed yesterday on a 7 day sale opening bid 400.00 no reserve, where are they now over 1200, with over 6 days, why 2 guys trying to outbid each other, personally i will wait till the last few seconds, always seems to save me money. GO FIGURE JOE
