Squatting over a Pcat. ROTFLMAOWhen I fire up the amps, it'll be like a really bad aromatherapy candle.

You mean the (former) planet, not the dog, right?

Not sure why this struck me, but is a side-effect of the treatment a 1-2" gain in penile girth? I guess I spend too much time on the internet...

Believe me, I know. The PODS thing might be a good idea. The website won't give me a quote (won't let me enter my city).

My wife was already deeply disturbed by all the junk I brought into the house. She would probably appreciate it if I made a place for her to sit. Somewhere in the house.

I shiht you not:

And while I'm happy to see her more often, she certainly acquired a mountain of stuff in that 1+ year of being on her own. And it is ALL in the living room, where my 2-channel setup resides. I'm 6'-4", so I can still see most of the rig (except for the pCATs down low), but there is no way in hell that I can get to it. Not the smallest path. My shihtzu can't even get in there to crap. Hmm, this might be a useful training tool.

The seating in here is getting quite uncomfortable. We should upgrade. Anyone mind if I go out and gather stool samples?

Well, nothin' blowed up.

+2 With the Large Hadron Collider up and running, maybe top researchers will finally understand how to make this happen. Its restoration has been evading the world's greatest minds for years. I thought the Views were permanently discontinued when they shut down the Saturn plants??? At this time that is only a theory.

CLU!!

Great news, Dean!

Amazingly, I can't think of a single thing I need from Klipsch parts. I guess I'd better knock on my walnut Khorns.

Wow, thanks for finding and posting this! If anyone is considering printing the whole thing, be aware that the price list only goes to p.86. Pages 87-250 are (mostly) blank. I guess pdfs are searchable, i.e., if you want to find all items related to KSP-400 speakers?

So, tomorrow I'll have time to do this. I have a few questions specific to preamps. 1.) With power amps, a dummy speaker load is needed. With preamps, obviously there is no speaker output, but should I provide some "line level" load for the initial start up? 2.) Where and how (specifically) do I check voltage output at various stages of "bringing it up?" Seriously, I need someone to tell me where to stick my probes (insert joke here).

Yeah, I decided to get rid of it after I stubbed my toe too many times.

JL, I'm being particularly cautious with this one. It's a 400CX-2 (very collectible). I've read several threads on variac use for power amps, but none for preamps. I don't mind if it's a waste of time. []

I have been asked by a buyer to use a variac to power up and test a Fisher console preamp (ca. 1962). I've never plugged it in, in the year I've owned it, and don't know how long it has been since it was in use. The only potentially useful test equipment I own is a digital VOM (in addition to the variac). The goal is to do a listening test (and not harm the preamp). How would this procedure be different from doing it with a power amp? What are the (pre-smoke ;^) things to look for as I do it? If testing is needed (using the VOM), where and how do I test it? You'd think by now I'd have learned how to do this...

The only stations I listen to on a regular basis are KQED-FM (public radio) and KNBR-AM (go Giants!), and those almost exclusively in the car.

Oh, Klipsch can tell, but the layman must be given the decoder ring by Miss Valerie herself.

You're right. Pardon my insensitivity. It's nice that Klipsch speakers are so adaptable.

I can supply a left-right conversion kit for $249.95.

Boy, that crate must be super-hard to open. Probably broke of a lot of screw heads. []

Can someone explain the sonic differences in the physical media available for this recording? Wide range of prices, from $8-36.50.
