  1. I ordered the Woodpecker with just has the basic 12” Thomas Schick arm. This set up has been great with my Charisma Audio, Signature One cartridge. If I ever get the bug to tweak this set up, it would be to maybe swap the TS for a Kuzma, 4Point arm.
  2. Hubba, bubblelicious! I just finished spinning this for the first time... As LD would say, "Pretty, pretty,,, Pretty Good! 😍

  5. It was really an attempt at sarcasm to Double 0 One, I do believe the 604s were used in many recording studios... "The 604 series was considered the de facto monitor for most North American and European recording studios throughout the ‘50s, '60s into the ‘70s, including Abbey Road/EMI, Apple Records, American Sound Studio in Memphis and A&R in New York to name but a few." My best friend from college picked up a pair of Model 19s used in the early 1980's and they are still in his main system to this day. They are the speaker that showed me what a hi efficiency speaker, and horns in particular, could do. I believe the 19 is a great speaker and would be appreciated by most horn lovers. I have LSs and Peavey Jubs, Heresy 3s, and HIPs... so you know I like my Klipsch. But if I had a spot for a pair of those Altecs...
  6. Ya, everybody knows that a 1960's PA speaker would trounce a 1970's studio monitor. 🤫 1963: The La Scala is designed as a portable version of the Klipschorn to be used as a P.A. system for Winthrop Rockefeller's Arkansas gubernatorial campaign.
  7. Funny you just posted this. On Monday I wrote AS to complain. My last order just before Xmas was $150.94usd, plus $30.95 for International Ground to my home just north of Toronto. Last Friday I got an invoice in the mail from FedX for $100.09cnd... Canada HST: $26.65 Clearance Entry Fee: $54.00 Disbursement Fee: $11.00 HST on Disb/Ancillary Service Fee: $8.45 AS did respond the next day and pointed out their new FedEx International Connect Plus shipping option as per your above video. This afternoon I just place a new order and used the new International Connect Plus, which cost me $26.46 for the 3: regular LPs and one UHQR Vinyl Record (Steely Dan / Aja). I will report back after delivery to let everybody know how it worked . Fingers crossed!🤞
  8. Hey now, Here is a thread from the past that might make some good reading for you, Silverfoxvtx1800. Since my posts in this thread from last year, I have been enjoying my Triode Labs 2A3 amp driving my 402s. After Frank updating my 2A3, it has been great!!! With me getting back into spinning vinyl I have now migrated to a moving coil cartridge that does require much more gain from my W4S STP preamp. For example for normal listening levels, my digital playback has the volume control in the 13-16 range on the STP. With my previous Hana, EH high output MC cartridge it was in the 18-20 range on the STP. Now with my new Charisma Audio Signature One cartridge, I need to up the output in the 35-40 range on the STP. With an output of 0.4 mV for the Charisma, not unexpected but at this much gain needed on the preamp I am now again noticing some unwanted noise out of the 402s. I cannot help but wonder with a more efficient amp on the 402s, like the J2, F8, or SIT3, this issue would not be there?

    What I Got Today!

    Congrats on the great new speakers. Frank's speakers have caught my ears several times at many Toronto audio shows, and usually one of the best sounding rooms at these shows! They play music with such ease. Have you tried them with your First Watt amp yet? 👍

    What I Got Today!

    Good score! Where did you get the player, online or brick and mortar store?
  11. Hey Carl, Very sorry to hear of your loss. Gorgeous looking KHorns, and I love that you have some Canadian content in that system!
  12. Where are you located? I would shoot Michael an email and see if he can help you out... https://critesspeakers.com/
