    Juicymusic Blueberry w/ LOMC

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    The addendum page is dated 1/1/2007 and has four #'d entries, only one of which references the LOMC option. It would appear the rest of my manual is the same as those that came before as there is no reference to LOMC at all. Sadly, I don't have a vinyl setup to experiment with, but I'd say odds are very good that Phono 2 is MMC dedicated. I'm sure Mark or someone else with first-hand experience will post the final word.

    Both my turntables are MM so I will try it in Phono 2.

    Record Store Near Dallas

    Well while on vacation last week in Dallas Tx. I ran into a record store just outside of Dallas called Forever Young. What a really awesome place huge and I mean big about 11000 square feet. With all the vinyl, cassettes, and cd's you could ever want. I found them to be a little on the pricey side but, the vinyl was in excellent condition. You get what you pay for!!! If you are ever in the Dallas area it is right off the I 360 at E. Mayfield Rd. just down the road from Six Flags and the Ballpark in Arlington.

    Thanks Jay, I am just recently into vinyl and looking for a good source for albums !

    Let's see your Klipsch speakers.

    The other one ! I had to make a 1" strofoam door for this opening. It got a little warm in there with no return air for the A/C and the tubes radiating heat. These will be the Khorns that I will use for the NOS vrd stereo amp and JMBB with creme that I just bought from Scott last week.

    Do you have a pair of matching SW-12s (or are those 15s)?

    One is an SW-12 and the other is a SW-12II, both are oak ! They are my first experience with subs and 2-channel. I am new to tubes and vinyl and neither seems to have the bass I was used to with SS. The subs sound pretty good for old subs but I can learn from them.

    Don, I had to give you some crap. I know exactly how you feel. As you know, I have been on the same journey as you, just taking a different route.

    Just remember that the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination....if you ever reach it.

    I had fun drag racing for 15 years but the real fun only came on the weekends, now the fun is 24/7. It seems to be the most bang for the buck !

    I bought these 78 Rosewood Khorns from wrench722 about a month ago. I replaced the woofers and have only been listening to them with SS gear. Got energatic the other day and took my tube gear in and hooked it up to them to see what they sounded like. Love them but I think it is time to upgrade the xovers. I finally took the plunge into vinly last week but after only listening to digital the analog sounded very, very different. I was not getting the sound stage that I was getting with cd,s so I added a couple of subs, made it sound very nice. Now I just need to learn to dial in the subs !

    Things have grown since this picture was taken. These are the fronts for my H/T system and 2-channel.

    Very Nice, did you build the cabinets above the Khorns? They look great!

    I bet that set up sounds fantastic and without much volume either. Stick out tongue

    Thanks Dennie, I did build the cabinets to put the gear in. My plan is to one of these days I will run all of the cables and speakers wires in the ceiling and walls. Its going to be a big project that I have not gotten around to ! You can definately raise the roof if you so desire.

    It isn't going to be that big of a project or at least that was my experience. A friend helped me one day, we ran the wiring for 4 surround speakers in under 2 hours. I thought it would be much harder than it was. I realize you have more wires/cables to run, but it will be worth it. That is a beautiful set up you have there, those cabinets look great and I bet it sounds amazing. Thanks for posting the pictures!

    Its going to take me quite a bit longer as I have to go through 1" marble then 4" brick into the stud wall which is between the face brick and the chimney then over to the cabinet on the left where the A/VR reciever will be. Running the speakers wires will not be to bad, at least I will only have to do it once. Thanks Again Dennie !!

    What're you driving your Forte IIs with?

    I am driving my Forte II's with a NOS Valves deluxe rebuilt Scott 299 A second edition, my Forte's have an upgraded xover system from popbumber here on the forum. I think the Forte's are great speakers and I really do like them but, sound better than my k-horns!!! Not on your life you can not even compare the two, night and day difference period!!!

    Jay

    A Korneff 45 - you have good taste!

    But your Fortes are better than your K-horns.

    Even PWK preferred the Forte to the K-horn and stated so in public at least 1,000 times.

    I have 6 Khorns and no Forte"s, what does that tell you !
