Just guessing here but I'd be looking at source or pre first. Distorted signal maybe? Have you tried switching out amps or pre? I'd be looking for something besides the amps. Just guessing but I'd be switching out a few things before I blamed the K amps. That's a weird problem I haven't seen before out of an amp. And to have two of them act up...... They're a very stable amplifier. Harry

Happy Birthday Rob. Miss ya Pal. Harry

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was trudging through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried towards it, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand selling ties. The Taliban asked, 'Do you have water?' The Jewish man replied, 'I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only 15 shekels.' The Taliban shouted, 'Infidel! I do not need an overpriced tie! I need water! I should kill you, but I must find water first!' 'OK, OK' said the old Jewish man, 'It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me. I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom.' Muttering, the Taliban staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead. 'Your bas @ ard brother won't let me in without a tie!'

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET12659 --- CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied, 'Well your Honor, it was like this: when the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!' ... I just lost it.'

Sunday Morning Sex I will never hear church bells ringing again without smiling. Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparents' house to visit her 95-year-old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning..." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that to people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.. Oh no, my dear," replied granny.. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous; simply in on the ding and out on the dong." She paused to wipe away a tear and continued, "He'd still be alive if the ice cream truck hadn't come along."

Ever wanted to say thank you to our servicemen and women?

"Morning Sex" She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the 'T' shirt that she normally slept in. As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly," You've got to make love to me this very moment!" My eyes lit up and I thought, "I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!" Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her And then gave it my all; right there on the kitchen table. Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck. Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "What was that all about?" She explained, "The egg timer's broken."

Once upon a time . . . A fellow walks into a bar, notices a very large jar on the counter, and sees that it's filled to the brim with $10 bills. He guesses there must be more than Ten thousand dollars in it. He approaches the bartender and asks, 'What's with the money in the jar?' 'Well... You pay $10 and if you pass three tests, you get all the money and the keys to a brand new Lexus.' The man certainly isn't going to pass this up. And so he asks, 'What are the three tests?' 'You must pay first . . . Those are the rules,' says the bartender. So, after thinking it over a while, the man gives the bartender the $10 and the bartender drops it into the jar. 'Okay,' the bartender says, 'Here's what you need to do: First - You have to drink a whole quart of tequila, in a minute or less, and you can't make a face while doing it. Second - There's a pit bull chained in the back with a bad tooth. You have to remove that tooth with your bare hands. Third - There's a 90-year old lady upstairs who's never had sex . . . you have to take care of that problem!' The man is stunned. 'I know I paid my $10, but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it! You'd have to be nuts to drink a quart of tequila, and then do all those other things...' 'Your call,' says the bartender . . . But, your money stays where it is.' As time goes on, and the man has a few more drinks, he finally says, 'Where's the damn tequila?' He grabs the bottle with both hands and drinks it as fast as he can. Tears stream down both cheeks . . . But he doesn't make a face, and he did it in fifty-eight seconds! Next, he staggers out the back door, where he sees the pit bull chained to a pole. Soon the people inside the bar hear growling, biting, and screaming sounds . . . then nothing but silence! Just when they think that the man surely must be dead he staggers back into the bar, with his shirt ripped open and there are scratches, and he's bleeding all over his body. He says, 'Now where's that old woman with the bad tooth?'

The Navy found they had too many officers and decided to offer an early retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for retirement a bonus of $1,000 for every inch measured in a straight line between any two points in his body.. The officer got to choose what those two points would be. The first officer who accepted asked that he be measured from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.. He was measured at six feet and walked out with a bonus of $72,000. The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes. He walked out with $96,000. The third one was a non-commissioned officer, a grizzly old Chief who, when asked where he would like to be measured replied, 'From the tip of my weenie to my testicles.' It was suggested by the pension man that he might want to reconsider, explaining about the nice big checks the previous two officers had received. But the old Chief insisted and they decided to go along with him providing the measurement was taken by a Medical Officer. The Medical Officer arrived and instructed the Chief to 'drop 'em,' which he did. The medical officer placed the tape measure on the tip of the Chief's weenie and began to work back. "Dear Lord!", he suddenly exclaimed, ''Where are your testicles?'' The old Chief calmly replied, '' Vietnam ''.

Subject: The Candy with the Little Holes A Teacher gave her class several lifesavers. The children began to identify the flavors by their color: Red......................Cherry Yellow..................Lemon Green..................Lime Orange...............Orange Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers. None of the children could identify the taste. The teacher said, 'I will give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.' One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and yelled, 'Oh my God! They're arss-holes! The teacher had to leave the room!

A little FYI...These sound better withOUT the cage on for some reason. Definitely a cleaner sound. I don't know if the cage vibrates or what but the sound difference is noticable. I still need to clean it up. I am going to play it out for a couple of weeks, do some tube rolling on the preamp side, and put the new set of knobs on before I start giving it a good clean up.

Gregg, It wasn't even hooked up in the pic. I'd just gotten it running. It had sat for years with tons of bad solder joints in it. Kit amps can be a trip to work on. Harry

Picky, I just bought some extra knobs for my ST-70 and I should have an extra matching knob for you. Send me your address and I'll mail you the one you need.

I love the little crockpotters that drive through at 3:00 AM with their thumpers blasting. "Just one bullet" rule in effect at that point..

I'm not so sure he'll be a good value. If I'm not mistaken the Players Association and Owners have a contract protecting tenured players. I may be wrong but I think he's still got a healthy base paycheck coming as far as position players and time in the league are concerned.Harry

Morning Amy,Glad to see you as a contributor to the thread and not just as "mod". Harry
