Maron, It soundsvery full and nice. I don't have any experience listening to mono, so this is new ground for me. But I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised and listened to it well into the night. I did notice Brad had some amazing grill work when he came out of the bathroom. That old muskrat got me didn't he?

Maron, you probably know Brad as Moldy Oldie.

Ok, here is a pic. I finally figured out how to post one. Sorry it took so long. Maron, Brad (bfish)in Arkansas told me to tell you hi. He came up today to help me check this out. It really sounds good using one of my MC40s.

Here is a pic of my new Georgian. Anyway, that is the plan as I have never messed with photos before. Lets see if I did it right.

The cab on mine looks like the 3rd pic on the top row of pics on this site. http://homepage.mac.com/ikecarumba/PhotoAlbum13.html

Roger, I currently don't have a digital camera, will talk to my daughter about useing hers in a day or so. Plus, right now the Georgian is still in the back of my Jeep. Pics wouldn't show much at this point. As far as price, lets just say I think I got a good deal. Are you familiar with the Georgian? Comments or info?

I know this is the Klipsch forum, but I bought a cousin last night. It is still sitting in the back of my Grand Cherokee, awaiting some additional help in getting it into the house. This thing is large and heavy. Is anyone here familiar with EV that can tell me about what I bought? I haven't opened it up yet to see exactly what drivers and tweeter are in it, nor have I been able to hook it up for a listen. On the back of the cab it is stencil painted Georgian Serial No. 321. I take it this is an early version of the Georgian? I have been googling and can't come up with a whole lot of info. Is there an EV forum? Any info and feedback appreciated. I thought my Altec 620 cabs were big, but this EV makes them seem small.

Very nice fish. What did she weigh?

Noah, I sent you a PM and an email. Please let me know if you received them. Thanks.

Michael, glad to hear you got your Thorens singing properly. Those old tables are certainly not plug and play and take time to get them cleaned up and adjusted properly. But once they are gone thru and everything dialed in, it should be a keeper for a very long time. Congrats!! I have never owned a 124, but hope to some day. Steve

Mark, I enjoy reading this forum and rarely comment, since I don't own Klipsch. I own Altec Model 17's and have always felt that myself and those here on the Klipsch forum have very similar tastes in audio. I hope you will enjoy your Altecs as much as I love mine. They are pretty damn good speakers. I know you won't have a hard time selling your Corns. Steve

Saw these listed on Tulsa Craiglist and had never heard of them, but they looked interesting. If someone in the Tulsa is interested in these, go for it. I just saw them listed and was curious. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/ele/208397053.html

I was here, but I left.

Clarence, try this product. Make sure you get the one that is "ALL WHITE". They make one that has a blue side and you don't want that one. Cut off a small peice (3/4"x 1"x 1/2") W x W X H, and stick a toothpick or small drink sword into it. Let your stylus lower into it and then lift it back up. Don't try to move the MCME at all or you might damage your stylus. Just up and down. It works great. If you need this verified as safe and useful, do a search on the Vinyl Asylum and on the Analog Agon pages. I have been using it for over a year and am very happy with the results. A $2 supply will last you a lifetime. http://www.homemadesimple.com/sites/en_US/mrclean/products/eraser.shtml

Congrats on 25 years!! Not many make that milestone these days. My wife and I had our 27th last May. May you have at least 25 more. Steve

I am glad to hear you and your family are ok Dave. I can only imagine how miserable it must have been on those 100+ days without A/C. Hopefully they get everyone turned back on very soon. Take care! Steve

SheltieDave, did you and yours survive the storms ok? I am wondering if you are one of the millions without power. Hope you are doing well!!! Steve

Gary, I think they come with a Goldring 1012. One good thing about Goldring carts is you can move up the foodchain with just buying a 1022 or 1042 stylus for it.

Thanks Dave, those are cool posters for sure. I just ordered one over the phone. I tried the 800# but it was for corporate and needed an extension #. I then called 1-201-794-5900 and that is the correct # to ask for the poster. The person answering was very aware of the promotion. Not a problem and easy!! Thanks again. Steve

Hey guys, I am FINALLY back online. My daughter was got on the computer the other night (myspace.com) and within 10 minutes I had 7 viruses that totally destroyed the hard drive. I was able to get rid of all of them except 2 trojans. A very good local friend that builds computers loaned me one until I can buy a new drive for my old one. Dave, thanks for all of your help, it is much appreciated my friend. ALot more than words can express. This collection is still for sale. I have several feelers out, but nothing definative yet. If you are interested, feel free to email me and we will try to work something out. I am in a pretty dire situation at present, otherwise I would never let my vinyl collection go. It should be noted, that like most all vinyl collections, a fair percentage of the covers have some wear, but not bad. They are not trashed covers by any means. I have always been more concerned with the vinyl condition. If interested, I will be glad to email you back with my phone # if you would like to talk to me personally. Steve

I feel the Technics SL1200 is an excellent product and many audiophiles that preciously thumbed their noses at it being DD are changing their tune after actually buying and listening to them. They were not designed to be DJ tables, the DJ's just adopted it as being the table of choice for it's quick startup, ease of use and it's being built to standup to abuse. It's arm seems to be considered it's weak point, but many have said it isn't nearly as bad as it's reputation. The fluid dampener offered by Kabusa is reported to be well worth the money ($150). When you consider the amount of R&D that has gone into this table and the vast number of tables sold and still in use today, it seems like a pretty good endorsement. There are several of the hardcore vinyl folks over on the vinylasylum buying 1200 and have lots of good things to say about them. With many claiming them the best buy in TT in the under $1000 range. DD tables have gotten kind of a bad rap by audiophiles over the years, but that seems to be changing. DD done correctly can be very good. Alot of the bad rap came from very cheaply made DD tables made during the 70's. Even Chris at Teres is cominng out with a DD table that will be his TOTL table offered. So, don't discount a DD table because of it's drive system. I would be leary about buying one that has been put thru the rigors of DJ use. Last I looked you could buy a new 1210 MKII (black version) online that included shipping for $400. I think this was from musiciansfriend.com After saying all of this, I don't own one. I do have an SL1300 and a SP-25 which is basically a 1200 made for commercial use in radio stations. The high mass arms are an excellent match for a Denon 103 MC cartridge if that is a direction you are looking to go.

Travis, sorry it isn't going to work out, but I fully understand. I do appreciate your interest. Folks, this collection is still for sale. If anyone is interested, please email me or add to this thread. I will be checking it a few times a day. If you like 60's-early 70's rock, jazz and blues this would make a good addition to your collection, or give you an instant collection. Steve

Thanks for your well wishes guys. All I can do is put one foot in front of the other and hope and pray all works out. It is a pretty critical situation at this point. But I am remaining optomistic. When reading what some others are going thru, my troubles are small. Steve

Travis, sheltiedave has generously offered to help me get this collection to Hope this weekend. I emailed you and will be waiting to hear back. Steve
