Yea we know you can't just split turntable rca's. We would do it witha CD player. I love listening to sacd's and dvd-audio's, but like you said, not enough content out there
I don't believe that you need a "quad" turntable, just a compatible cartridge/stylus, the four channels are derived from a demodulator fed a stereo signal. The qx-949 actually has the demodulator built in to it, some other receivers required a separate unit.

When it comes to history I have noticed that the US has a problem with facts, and prefers a more sanitized version of reality...Can't blame them...;)

Thanks for pointing that out about the "contour" switch HDBR, I have always felt that it operated differently, and that there was a good reason for it not being labeled "loudness" as every other manufacturer does. It would be interesting to know what the technical differences are.

Mine are currently sitting unused, but they are a very nice sounding speaker.

Another vote for the RF-5, had mine since they first came out, other Klipsch have come and gone but they have remained.

Hi dtel, I may now get my HK 630 in for surgery after this experience. I don't try to over analyze what it is I am hearing, but I have a pretty good reference point to go back to, in as much that I also have a Marantz 2240, it has a very similar sound to the 2245 before the over-haul, and I often tried to compare them, the 2245 did have a slightly tubbier sound, but nothing really stood out 'tween the two of them....But now in comparison the newly re-furbished 2245 is a night & day difference, detailed, tight and punchy...and a superior sound-stage. One thing that surprised me was the new electrolytic caps, tiny little things in comparison to the originals, but I guess cap technology has moved on in forty yrs +.

I've only owned the KG4, and I'm sorry to say that they did nothing to impress me. That has not been the case with my other Klipsch speakers.

I was really torn about whether to have it repaired or not, there are a lot of people who debate the vintage vs modern argument, but as is usual in audio circles no consensus is ever formed. I really didn't know what to expect, and was ready to except the fact I could be throwing my money away. For me this was a winner.

A couple of years ago my Marantz 2245 decided to give up after 40+ years of good service, now after giving a few modern alternatives a whirl the Marantz is back from major surgery...The difference is startling, to the point even my wife made commentary on the sound. The best $350 I have spent. It's also nice to once again have the blue lights and champagne face plate to look at....:D

And the yellow stuff is grains of pollen....
You take some of the best pictures!
Click on Oldenough's photo to really see the detail!
True, it doesn't get better, very nice picture, what lens ?
Hi dtel, It was shot with a Minolta 100mm Macro.

After years of abuse and neglect on my deck I gave my trusty old Pioneer pl530 a facelift and new Cartridge/Stylus. It's now finished in Cherry veneer, and sporting a pickering V15 and Stanton 681eee Stylus

Thanks oldenough, great suggestion. Oh, and don't pay attention to oldtimer, he ain't right.
With your suggestions, I present our moon tonight!
Looks good to me JL....

Anybody here with moon photography tips? My photos never compare to the real thing.
JL, take your exposure reading from only the moon itself, don't use an average meter reading, turn your camera to spot metering. You will find the settings will be somewhere around 1/500th at f8...ISO 100. Basically a day light setting in the sun, as that is what the moon is being lit by. This setting will give you detail in the lunar surface without being blown-out. I prefer to still have some light in the sky, so shoot not too long after sunset when possible..........

Well as I have both RF5 and RB75, I would say that sonically there is little to distinguish them. I feel the RF5 is a better speaker in the bass dept, but the difference is negligible. Feed either one of them with lots of good quality power (120wpc Luxman) and either speaker shine. I don't know which of them has the upper hand when it comes to the official specs, but in practice either would keep you happy until you got the RF7.

It matters little who the parent company has been in the past... A Jaguar is still a Jaguar, tho admittedly some welcomed improvements occurred under Ford stewardship. You have to own one to appreciate them, the quirks are worth the experience of not owning a cookie cutter automobile.

If it is a long term buy you can't go wrong with the Jeep, and especially the Rubicon...I have found them very reliable, tough as nuts, and high re-sale.... Buy yourself a gently used one, and benefit even more.

Agreed, I was in the army stationed in Hong Kong at the time of quads introduction, it was a must have thing amongst us squaddies.
