Hi,
I'm looking for a pair of KG 1s.I'm based in the NYC area and can pick up within a reasonable distance and/or pay for shipping. Please shout if anyone is looking to let go of a set.
There is a pair on Rhode Island Craigslist for $200. Looks like they're in decent shape.

My plan is to ring out the transformer on my Quasimodo tester and oscilloscope, then use a bigger bridge with one of my snubber PCBs on it. See boards I've made. The bridge/board will be chassis mounted. I'll run wires from the transformer on the AC side. Maybe from solder points on the board, maybe directly I'll snip transformer wires and put quick disconnects on. I'll make the call as I do it. DC side will be flying wires soldered to appropriate spots on the board. I'll cut those fried traces, too.
Hey Randy! You have a PM.

Greetings Mark!! Still think about you every time I fire up my Peach.
On another front, not sure if you heard, but my lifelong best friend Josh passed Feb, 2021. Josh was a big JMA fan as you likely recall. My wife and I were up in NoCal this past weekend and visited his wife. We had a good listen to his system and drank some great wine.
All the best!
Chris
Hi Chris (and Mark!).
Chris, I don't think I ever met you, but I share your feelings about Josh. He was a great guy and very generous with his equipment. I had the pleasure of attending a couple of amp shootouts when I lived in the Bay Area (Mark even came to the first one- that was a special treat). Josh lugged his pCats over to my house for our second one. He was always very open to listening to other people's gear and supportive of their opinions. I went over to his house once, where I got to hear his beautiful stereo with custom Belles. He sent me home with his Rega Apollo to audition in my system.
I moved away from Cali last year and tried to contact Josh to say goodbye, only to learn he had passed away. Was very sorry to hear that.
And Mark, welcome back! I pretty much only lurk around here anymore. Wasn't ever much of a poster anyway. I always enjoyed your components, was sad to sell my Blueberry and pCats (and Khorns and Belles!) when I moved. Still have a smaller system with Heresies and tubes. Would be great to find a little Klipsch cadre in New England to hang out with. I live in Rhode Island now.

HI Dave,
I have a pair of '78 Khorns, and have had them for the last 13 years. I've been thinking of downsizing due to an anticipated move in the not too distant future. What's your time frame (also considering the shelter at home situation we're currently in)? There is also another gentleman I need to consult, as he told me last year that he'd willing to buy when the time came. I live in Oakland, CA.

Not to totally hi-jack this thread, but I’ve met great people through this forum and heard some great systems. Perhaps this OT post can inspire the OP to meet local members and audition their systems.
That's what I offered guf a couple of weeks ago (see page 2). And the offer still stands. It's always fun to get together with other music enthusiasts, we had a nice small group here about ten years ago. Life gets in the way and people drift apart.

Hi guf,
I live in Oakland, and have stock Belles (similar in size to La Scalas- but with a different mid-horn), and Chorus IIs in a small room, running currently on 300B SET. In a couple of weeks, when construction at my house is completed, you are welcomed to come over for an audition. If you like them, I could be persuaded to sell my Chorus IIs. They might be a good match in your room, but I'm not sure how they would mate with 45 amps.

Hello David,
I fit your bill, and not only do I have Khorns, but also Belles, Chorus IIs and Heresies, in two different rooms and multiple amplification systems (mostly tubes). Don't know quite what your intentions are and what you mean by "payment", but drop me a PM and maybe we can arrange an audition day.

In one of my systems the configuration is this: Rega Apollo CDP>Wright Mono 7s (300b Monoblocks)> Belles. It is the sweetest, most resolving configuration I've had. Mind you, the room is not large, I sit about 10' from the speakers, and the volume generally peaks at, in my estimation, about 90-95 db. This works especially well with older CDs, those from around the mid 1990's. For newer CDs (post Loudness War), I need to insert a set of stepped attenuators between the CDP and amps, to bring the levels down.

Buy a spray bottle that has a battery powered fan attached to the nozzle. It cools you down fast!

Zim,
do you need to change the network from the stock AA? I'm curious as to why you are selling these, did you ever install them?
Thanks,

Daddy Dee,
our family has a 2007 Rav4. Bought it new and just turned over 100k miles. I have never had a more reliable car (knock wood). It's a six cylinder; has plenty of power and is very comfortable. From time to time I load it up for my work and it handles a lot of weight with ease. Once put two Belles in it, no problem!

Hey all,
I lit that video! And the one that we shot a year later, "A Day Made of Glass, Two" or something like that, which is also on youtube. I think the first one was done in 2010. Take stock in glass cleaner indeed. And check out the Pepsi commercial that leads in to today's Super Bowl halftime show, if you're not headed to the bathroom or fridge. We shot the girl in the tunnel with the Pepsi machine and the crowd scene stadium shot about three weeks ago, on a cold night at the new Cal Bears stadium in Berkeley.

Johnny Marr's solo record from the 90's (Johhny Marr and the Healers "Boomslang") is one of my all time favorite driving records. Guitar-based English rock, a very solid effort.
I've long looked forward to a second release, but he's now playing with Modest Mouse, I think.

rick88, if you like female vocals (and from your avatars I'm sure you do) you won't be disappointed! Joy Williams has an amazing voice and is beautiful enough to be in your avatar rotation. D

Dean,
I too am saddened by the news of your illness. My thoughts are with you and your family. Keep up your strength and fight this this thing, you have a lot to live for!

HowieM,
I think around this forum "rare" means an unusual veneer or grill cloth, or in the case of Cornwalls, the old "vertical" models that were designed to lie in two different orientations are also quite rare to find (especially in good condition). Also the "decorator" models are fairly rare although IMHO the beauty of those is in the eye of the beholder.
Without supporting photos showing the condition of the cabinets and grill cloths to be in IMMACULATE condition "rare" is a confusing and possibly misleading characterization. I recently bought a pair of '87 Cornwall II's in New England that I consider to be in perfect condition and sonically superior to your '76 model I's (and yes, I've owned '78 Cornwalls in the past).
I understand that uploading photos to the forum is a pain and I can't help you in that regard. Maybe you could post a link to some photos or use the PM feature to contact interested parties so you could provide them photos via text or email. You're asking a VERY pretty penny for your Cornwall I's and I doubt you'll have much luck on this forum without lots of supporting evidence of their condition.
