Watching as well!

I have yet to have an issue with either my R6's or X7's. I would recommend either set and often do. From what you wrote it sounds like you are really hard on your equipment. I know some 'In Ear Headphones' come with detachable cables but the hardware to support this feature introduces weight. While the idea is good the extra weight just is not worth it in my book. If you take proper care the cable should last a very long time. More chance of dropping your 'In Ear Headphones' in a cup of coffee than breaking the cable. http://www.klipsch.com/Education/headphones-faq

Are the 11's that much better than the 7's? Oh the temptation !!!

Good FAQ here: http://www.klipsch.com/Education/headphones-faq I think it would be good for the FAQ to be right on the product pages. The FAQ is not easy to find but well worth the look. I have a pair of the X7's and I got my wife a pair of the R6;s. Both are awesome in their own rights.

The MX119 has toslink and optical outputs so you could use a headphone amp/DAC with TOSLINK or coaxial inputs. I use a couple of these and they work great. Turtle Beach Ear Force DSS 7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound Processor. I bought two of these at $14.99 and now they are $13.99. I also bought a 2x4 TOSlink Optical Audio Splitter Distribution Amplifier Amp Distributor Multiplier. Can select two different toslink inputs and have four outputs. I am only using two outputs right now. Both outputs go to each of the Turtle Beach DSS devices. http://amzn.com/B003O0KICS http://amzn.com/B00GEG1KO4 Nice thing is the headphone amp does handle Dolby but downside is it does not handle DTS. Works very well with my Klipsch X7 'In Ear Headphones'. If you don't care about Dolby the SMSL SD793-II PCM1793 also works well. I use this DAC in the bedroom. http://amzn.com/B00A2QLPJM

This might help... someone just bypassed the connector which is one way to do it!

Been a long time since I posted here but my Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1's got the loud hum a couple of years back and I just switched to the Klipsch 2.1 set I also had. Just no time to look at it. So the Ultra' s have been setting in my storage area for a long time just waiting for me to look at them. Well I picked up two 100uf cap's from Radio Shack and my Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1's are as good as new! All good again!

I also remember OB in the 'Members Weekly Music Recommendation'. Very sad news. OB will be missed. Greg

Talkie Walkie - Air Audio CD (February 17, 2004) Original Release Date: February 17, 2004 Genre: Electronica 1. Venus 2. Cherry Blossom Girl 3. Run 4. Universal Traveler 5. Mike Mills 6. Surfin' On A Rocket 7. Another Day 8. Alpha Beta Gaga 9. Biological 10. Alone In Kyoto The official website for `Air`. http://www.intairnet.org/ http://www.intairnet.org/intro.html Air (band) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_%28band%29 Air is a French duo, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Nicolas Godin studied architecture at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles whereas Jean-Benoît Dunckel studied mathematics before forming a band in 1995. Their debut EP, Premiers Symptômes, was followed by the critically acclaimed album Moon Safari, the re-release of Premiers Symptômes, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000Hz Legend, Everybody Hertz, and Talkie Walkie. Although Air's music is often referred to as electronica, their form of electronic music really owes more to the synthesizer sounds of the 1970s such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Pierre LeBouef and Francis Lai. Other influences are psychedelic rock pioneers Pink Floyd; Krautrockers Tangerine Dream; Jean-Jacques Perrey (although there are some echoes of dance music styles in the production); and French crooner Serge Gainsbourg. Air's music also has jazz inflections at times. If you love Electronica this group from France will fill the bill. Listening to the catchy rhythm or 'Air` songs you will find yourself playing the song in your head throughout the day. Greg's picks: Alpha Beta Gaga and Cherry Blossom Girl Yes Greg really likes this CD!

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II CD Street Date Sep 22, 1992 01 - Sentinel 02 - Dark Star 03 - Clear Light 04 - Blue Saloon 05 - Sunjammer 06 - Red Dawn 07 - The Bell 08 - Weightless 09 - The Great Plain 10 - Sunset Door 11 - Tattoo 12 - Altered State 13 - Maya Gold 14 - Moonshine Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Producers: Mike Oldfield, Tom Newman, Trevor Horn. A second "variation" on the album that put both Oldfield and Virgin Records on the map probably didn't seem like such a bad idea--especially with a guy like Trevor Horn enlisted to help produce. That said, TUBULAR BELLS 2 is quite good. It is a derivation, naturally, but one that has been fleshed out, further expounded upon, and given a modern '90s gloss. Horn's is relegated to the background, but his involvement is vital. He makes Oldfield's permutations flicker with an Art of Noise resonance, and the songs--which really play as one grand suite--have a palpable luster immersed within the absolutely excellent production. All of Oldfield's trademarks are brought to the fore here; the music is pastel, austere, vibrant, twinkling, and eccentric. For this second chapter, Oldfield brings along everything from synths and guitars to glockenspiel and other assorted percussive instruments--including tubular bells. Maybe history can in fact repeat itself. Mike Oldfield From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Oldfield Tubular.net, an open website dedicated to Mike Oldfield. http://tubular.net/ Tubular Bells II on Tubular.net http://tubular.net/discography/TubularBellsII.shtml Active forum on Tubular Bells II http://tubular.net/forums/ikonboard.cgi?;act=SF;f=32 I am not going to say a lot about this CD. If you remember the original Tubular Bells release from 1973 then you must pick up Tubular Bells II. Greg's pick is track #7 - The Bell. Crank it up!!!

Julia Thornton - Eye of the Storm Import CD ( England ) Category: Classical, Harp Street Date: Jul 26, 2004 Yes this is the same Julia Thornton from Roxy Music. This CD is not rock it is 100% pure classical and 100% pure harp. This is some great relaxing music. If you like to relax to soft classical and you love harp.... then this CD is worth a spin. I actually got this one in a little over a week ago but saved the review for this week. 01 Pavane 02 Prelude No. 1 03 Diatonic Prelude 04 Prelude No. 3 05 Prelude No. 1 06 Prelude No. 2 07 Prelude No. 4 08 Sarabande {From Violin Partita No. 3} 09 Chanson Dans la Nuit 10 Pavane & Variations Released as a result of fan demand, Julia Thornton's Eye of the Storm has only been previously available as a limited edition cassette sold at live performances and has fast become a collector's item. As a solo recital, Eye of the Storm is the perfect counterpoint to Julia's lushly orchestrated 2003 EMI debut 'Harpistry'. http://www.juliathornton.net/ After winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, I studied there for 5 years, winning many prizes including the Julia Leney and Renata Schefelstein harp awards, and both the harp prizes at the Royal Overseas League competition. I was also awarded the Mathias Prize for the best performance of his Sante Fe Suite at the International Harp Competition in Cardiff. After leaving college my career involved a mixture of teaching, orchestral and solo work. I performed with a variety of orchestras, opera and ballet company's, and gave recitals including performances at the Cambridge, Beaumaris and Cheltenham music festivals. I began working with Bryan Ferry in October 1999. I performed both harp and percussion on his 'As Time Goes By' tour, which was a collection of 1930s standards such as the title track. Together with a band which included a jazz horn section, a piano and a string quartet, we toured for almost a year, starting in the USA, and visiting Europe, Russia, South Africa and Indonesia. My work with Bryan has taken me all over the globe, to some of the most beautiful concert halls and famous venues in history. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?&xml=/arts/2004/11/01/bmharp30.xml&page=5#3 It takes some pluck (Filed: 01/11/2004) While on a tour with Bryan Ferry, Julia Thornton confused the local press in Hong Kong, which ran a picture story wondering whether that was Jerry Hall, Bryan's ex, on stage. Several fans wrote to her suggesting she should be the next Roxy Music cover model. For several Ferry and Roxy Music tours, she's been contributing both glamour and her exceptional harp and percussion playing, as well as establishing an adventurous solo career and doing sessions for newer artists such as Susheela Raman. She says the archetypal "ethereal harpist" couldn't survive these days - the modern harp requires a lot of stamina for one thing: "There's about seven pounds' pull on each string." Thornton has also had to be tough and resilient in her career. After finishing her studies at the Royal Academy in London, to which she won a scholarship, she found herself taking "surreal bookings". She recalls turning up at one birthday party in Kensington to be told she had to change in the broom cupboard. "Then the wife found out I was Jewish, and she wanted me to get in touch with her son at university - she thought I'd make a suitable girlfriend." Thornton got the Roxy Music work after the wife of Bryan Ferry's producer heard her play at a yoga class. The exposure on the band's tours helped get her a major record deal with EMI, and in 2003 she made a record, Harpistry, which was widely admired. But she wasn't entirely happy with the result. "I had to please too many people there was a serious amount of compromise involved," she says. One thing she disliked was the over-polished production "You hear a Paul Weller or Eric Clapton record, or someone like Glenn Gould playing, and it's full of character - nowadays in classical music, everything has to be perfect and clean. Any slight imperfections are edited out in the studio, the edge is lost. A friend said to me recently that there are no session musicians any more, we are merely sound-wave donors." EMI was pushing her as a Vanessa-Mae type classical babe. "At least they didn't ask me to take my kit off," she says. "And I met my husband at EMI - he works in the art department - so it wasn't all bad." Having "asked EMI to drop me", she has taken the formidable challenge of setting up her own record label, Crossways, and recently released a more strictly classical album, Eye of the Storm, which features preludes by Bach and Tournier. "I loved the idea of selecting music that has a special place in one's heart," she says. "Pieces or songs that, as I was studying the harp with my teacher Daphne Boden, I grew to love like old friends." It's a risk, but she's happier with her new freedom, and is now experimenting writing her own material. Last month, she played some sophisticated electronic music at the Ocean in Hackney, east London. As for her being the next Roxy Music cover model, "the suggestion would have to come from Bryan perhaps we'll leave it at that, shall we?"

Great selection....Super Session is one great CD!!! That YouTube video was very cool too.. I did a review of the remastered CD on 06/14/2006 right here on Klipsch. The remastered CD did add a few unreleased songs that were not available on the LP version. "Blues for Nothing" for example is one great song that is only on the remaster series. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/permalink/746774/747958/ShowThread.aspx#747958 Thanks for sharing!

Let's have a Rock and Roll Halloween! Alice Cooper - Mascara & Monsters: The Best Of Alice Cooper Street Date: Jan 16, 2001 01 - I'm Eighteen 02 - Is It My Body 03 - Desperado 04 - Under My Wheels 05 - Be My Lover 06 - School's Out 07 - Elected 08 - Hello Hooray 09 - Generation Landslide 10 - No More Mr. Nice Guy 11 - Billion Dollar Babies 12 - Teenage Lament '74 13 - Muscle Of Love 14 - Only Women Bleed 15 - Department Of Youth 16 - Welcome To My Nightmare 17 - I Never Cry 18 - You And Me 19 - How You Gonna See Me Now 20 - From The Inside 21 - Clones (We're All) 22 - Poison Greg's pick: Track #21 - Clones (We're All) The Alice Cooper Group: Alice Cooper (vocals); Michael Bruce (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Glen Buxton (guitar); Dennis Dunaway (bass, background vocals); Neal Smith (drums, background vocals). Producers include: Bob Ezrin, David Foster, Michael Wagener, Desmond Child, Jack Douglas. Compilation producers: David McLees, Brian Nelson. Includes liner notes by Jeffrey Morgan and Alice Cooper. This is a one-disc distillation of the four-disc box set THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF ALICE COOPER, and as such represents the cream of the shock-rock legend's output. The earlier songs (1970 to 1974), featuring the original lineup, are classic rock & roll. Managing the difficult feat of being both clever and commercially accessible, these songs were of course a huge influence on the late-'70s punk rock that followed (Johnny Rotten auditioned for the Sex Pistols by singing along with Cooper's generational anthem "I'm Eighteen"). The later material here, from "Only Women Bleed" to "Poison," is just as well crafted--Cooper performs with a combination of irony and malevolence that a certain Marilyn Manson no doubt studied long and hard. http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=75806 Most rock fans know that Alice Cooper wrote the book on shock-rock from the late 60s through the early 80s, with his outrageous costumes, horrific stage theatrics, and smart-assed hard rock songs about teenage rebellion. In 1999, we presented the long-awaited The Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper 4-CD box set, and everywhere Ol Black Eyes went to promote it, the fans loved it. But they also said that they were dying for a single CD with nothin but the biggest hits. We listened, and here it isa deluxe expanded and remastered version of his Greatest Hits, originally released in 1974 on Warner Bros. Records, updated to include his very best through 1990. Mascara & Monsters features 22 mortifyingly massive hits on a single monster CD, including Schools Out, Im Eighteen, Under My Wheels, Welcome To My Nightmare, Poison, and more.

Ok.. This is another I don't have it yet but it is on order! Barry White - Live in Europe 1975 on DVD Scheduled to release Tuesday, October 10, 2006 Yes that's next Tuesday!!! The king of sexy soul music, Barry White is shown here at the height of his popularity in this European concert from 1975. The set list includes "I've Found Someone," "Under The Influence of Love," and "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Babe."

Picked up another great DVD this week. Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry have always been one of our favorite artists and the 2000 Live in Paris DVD is one great DVD that will not disappoint. Bryan Ferry - Live In Paris - At Le Grand Rex - March 2000 DVD Format: Dolby Digital 5.1, Import, NTSC Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 DVD Release Date: Jun 19 2001 Track listing 1 The Way You Look Tonight 2 Love Me Or Leave 3 Smoke Gets In Your Eyes 4 Chance Meeting 5 Casanova 6 Where Or When 7 Bitter-Sweet 8 Out Of The Blue 9 The Only Face 10 Oh Yeah 11 You Do Something To Me 12 Just One Of Those Things 13 Avalon 14 Jealous Guy 15 Let's Stick Together 16 Love Is The Drug Musicians: Bryan Ferry - Vocals (*) Colin Good - Piano/MD (*) Nils Solberg - Guitar Zev Katz - Bass (*) John Sutton - Drums Enrico Tomasso - Trumpet Iain Dixon - Alto Sax/Clarinet Robert Fowlet - Tenor Sax/Clarinet Malcolm Earle Smith - Trombone Rosie Wetters - Chello Helen Hawthorne - Violin Lucy Theo - Viola Julia Thornton - Harp/Percussion (*) * Musicians who also appeared in Roxy Music: Live at the Apollo (2003) Greg's pick: Song #5 - Casanova The thing I also liked about Bryan Ferry was his choice of musicians. In the later years with Roxy Music or while he was promoting his solo career the selection was always top notch. Let's look at a few members in the "Live In Paris" concert. Julia Thornton - Harp/Percussion http://www.juliathornton.net/ After winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, I studied there for 5 years, winning many prizes including the Julia Leney and Renata Schefelstein harp awards, and both the harp prizes at the Royal Overseas League competition. I was also awarded the Mathias Prize for the best performance of his Sante Fe Suite at the International Harp Competition in Cardiff. After leaving college my career involved a mixture of teaching, orchestral and solo work. I performed with a variety of orchestras, opera and ballet company's, and gave recitals including performances at the Cambridge, Beaumaris and Cheltenham music festivals. I began working with Bryan Ferry in October 1999. I performed both harp and percussion on his 'As Time Goes By' tour, which was a collection of 1930s standards such as the title track. Together with a band which included a jazz horn section, a piano and a string quartet, we toured for almost a year, starting in the USA, and visiting Europe, Russia, South Africa and Indonesia. My work with Bryan has taken me all over the globe, to some of the most beautiful concert halls and famous venues in history. You can hear some of her wonderful harp music on her site. Pavane - Anon 16th Century for example is wonderful. Yes it's classical... I know, Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music are rock... but rock is great with fantastic musicians! And then there is Colin Good. Colin Good studied music at Queen's College Oxford and then since then has forged a career in the London swing and vintage jazz scene. Influenced by Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson, Colin once toured with The Inkspots, and has composed regularly for theatre, television and film. http://www.bryanferry.com/index.html http://www.bryanferry.com/paris_dvd.html Roxy Music: Live at the Apollo (2003) Format: Import, Dolby Digital 5.1, NTSC, Widescreen Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 DVD Release Date: Jul 8 2003 I know I posted the Live at the Apollo before but I am posting it along with the "Live In Paris" DVD.

thebes is out of town this week. Format's simple: Name of artist or group, name of album, type of music as best you can (rock, blues etc.), and recording format (cd, lp etc.) So what do you have to share this week? Here is my offering.. The Book of Secrets - Loreena McKennitt Blending of Celtic folk, world, and new age. # Audio CD (September 30, 1997) # Original Release Date: September 30, 1997 1. Prologue 2. The Mummers' 3. Skellig 4. Marco Polo 5. The Highwayman 6. La Serenissima 7. Night Ride Across The Caucasus 8. Dante's Prayer Greg's pick: Track #2 -- The Mummers' Greg also likes track #4 -- Marco Polo. You will be taken away by the shear beauty of this CD looking forward to the ever changing sounds as each song plays. This CD is simply lovely! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreena_McKennitt McKennitt is often compared to Enya, but is more grounded in traditional and classical invocations using literary works as sources of lyrics and springboards for interpretation such as The Lady of Shalott by Lord Tennyson, Prospero's Speech, the final soliloquy in William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Snow by Archibald Lampman, William Blakes Prospero, intended for a dramatic piece of King Edward the fourth and The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. The official site for Loreena McKennitt and her private record label, Quinlan Road. http://www.quinlanroad.com/ "A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu's words are a good introduction to the third album in a trilogy of musical travel documents that began with The Visit. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in England, The Book Of Secrets was written and researched all over the world, and, following its release in 1997, would go on to sell several million copies around the globe. The album features a cast of over two dozen musical collaborators, and the eight songs contained therein, including North American hit single The Mummers Dance, leads the listener on unexpected journeys. Follow the music from ancient Byzantium to a puppet-maker's theatre in Sicily, or from the rocky island of Skellig Michael once inhabited by Irish monks in the Dark Ages to Venice and the journeys of Marco Polo, or from the tragic narrative of The Highwayman to the thunder of hooves across the Caucasus and the echoes of Dante s words found, unexpectedly, in a train journey across Siberia.

No problem.... Your covered... Greg

I picked this jewel last week at the super market. The Last Waltz - The Band - DVD Special Edition - 1978 (2002) - MGM Home Entertainment (UA) Track Listing: Don't Do It - The Band Theme from the Last Waltz - The Band Up on Cripple Creek - The Band The Shape I'm In - The Band Who Do You Love - Ronnie Hawkins/The Band It Makes No Difference - The Band Such a Night- Dr John (Mac Rebennec)/The Band Helpless - Neil Young/The Band Stagefright - The Band The Weight - The Band/The Staples The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band Dry Your Eyes - Neil Diamond/The Band Coyote - Joni Mitchell/The Band Mystery Train - Paul Butterfield/The Band Mannish Boy - Muddy Waters/The Band Further on up the Road - Eric Clapton/The Band Sip the Wine - Rick Danko Evangeline - The Band w/Emmylou Harris Genetic Method - Garth Hudson Ophelia - The Band Caravan - Van Morrison/The Band Forever Young - Bob Dylan/The Band Baby Let Me Follow You Down - Bob Dylan/The Band I Shall Be Released - Everybody w/Ringo Starr & Ron Wood Theme from Last Waltz - The Band Great review which says it all. "THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!" http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews2/lastwaltz.html Greg's picks: Up on Cripple Creek - The Band ( The band at their best! ) Helpless - Neil Young/The Band ( Neil Young as I like to here him. ) This is a must have DVD. One of the best looking and sounding DVD's I own! The disc by MGM, presented in anamorphic widescreen detail, is beautifully and lovingly reworked to give us this enduring document. The colors are vibrantly displayed and the detail is perfect. I'm not surprised either, given the fact that Martin Scorsese was involved. This is concert footage shot in 1976 and yet you have to be impressed with the picture quality. The audio is equally spectacular. Mixed in Dolby Digital 5.1, as well as the requisite 2.0, the channels are all in good use. The 5.1 rear channels are very active and provide an immersive feeling that only serves to enhance the absorption of the film. Remember, 1976!

When you think of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison what group comes to mind? Yes the Traveling Wilburys!!! If you like the sound of the above artists then you must find and buy these CD's. Yes... another must have selection from Greg!

Wilbury Twist VH1 BIOGRAPHY Reversing the usual process by which groups break up and give way to solo careers, the Traveling Wilburys are a group made up of solo stars. The group was organized by former Beatle George Harrison, former Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, thus representing three generations of rock stars. In 1988, the five (who had known each other for years) came together to record a Harrison B-side single and ended up writing and recording an album on which they shared lead vocals. It turned out to be a way to transcend the high expectations made of any of them as individuals, and a delighted public sent the album to number three, with two singles, "Handle With Care" and "End of the Line" hitting the charts. Unfortunately, Orbison died of a heart attack only a few weeks after the album's release. Two years later, the remaining quartet released a second album, inexplicably titled Vol. 3. Although it didn't match the success of the first Wilburys album, it was another million-selling hit. Throughout the '90s, there were rumors of another Traveling Wilburys record in the works, but no new albums from the group surfaced. Harrison and Lynne did re-team in 1995, when Lynne produced and reworked two John Lennon demos with the Beatles for their Anthology rarities collection. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide Traveling Wilburys From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bootlegs * Traveling Wilburys Vol. 2 (1989 demos and extended songs from Vol. 1) * Traveling Wilburys Vol. 4 (1990 out-takes from Vol. 3) For those who wonder why only Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 were released. Yeah.. Vol. 2 and Vol. 4 are bootlegs! Greg's pick: Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 - Track #1 - Handle With Care
