  1. Yeah, I know, but why are you adverse to shopping at Amazon? Of course it's your choice, and I certainly respect it (and you don't have to explain it further), but buying from Amazon is extremely secure, and buying from a forum member is techically "online". I, or another forum member, could probably score one from an Amazon retailer and ship it on to you (or have it shipped directly to you).

    Thanks for the offer but im not looking to buy something from Amazon or any other online reatailer, just to maybe get a good used copy of an album from somebody here that hopefully takes care of their stuff and not some used beat up thing some 12 year old played frisbee with.

    I have lots of stuff i no longer listen to and am perfectly willing to trade.

  2. I was suprised to see the little black bookshelf speaker in the mix. Tongue Tied

    If you read closely you will see they are called NON-Heritage.

    "So under Heritage they reside until a better structure can be determined. These vagabonds include the NON-Heritage products: Rebel, KSS and Shorthorn".

    Good catch, wonder how those little bookshelf speakers sound, never even seen those before.

  3. The extra mystery wire may have been installed for a fart fan or bathroom heater, 12 gauge would not have been used for just a light unless the contractor ran out of 14 gauge.

    If you are having trouble with too many wires in the box now is the perfect time to install a larger box.

    Codes around here change from county to county so it would be hard to say what is legal and what is not around your neck of the woods.

    If you do want to get rid of the extra switch in the hall and want it to look good just remove the box and extra wires and cut a piece of drywall to match your hole. then run some 1x2's or similar behind the opening and screw them the old drywall for support so your new drywall piece has something to attach to then just tape and mud the new drywall piece to the old opening and presto, nobody will ever know there was a switch there.

  4. Sold

    Open to interesting trade / partial trade for:

    amp, amp/tuner combo or integrated amp, what ya got ?

    KG2 or similar for garage speaker, nothing bigger than Heresy.

    PS3 for the kids

    LCD TV 24"-37"

    Not currently interested in any trades

  5. I have been playing this album almost every day for the last 4 months and I just can't get enough of it.

    What makes this one special is that Von was recorded with his regular Chicago quartet--the empathy among these four is amazing.

    BEST VERSION OF "SUMMERTIME" EVER!!!!!!!!!

    Alan, are these the same guys he played with when we saw them at Andy's here in Chicago? (That was still the largest pork chop I've ever seen!)

    I heard them do the Summertime thing at the Chicago Blues Fest before Andy's ~ remember those folks he gave a lecture to at the other table who kept yelling at him to play it? That was hilarious!!

    And Alan, you know, playing the same thing over and over is a sign of depression.

    How long is the Summertime version on this recording? At Blues Fest they must have jammed around this for 45 minutes!

    Artto, i knew i saw you somewhere before when i met you at Steves to audition the Jubilee's. I usually go to the Chicago blues festival as often as possible and remember faces and yours looked awfully familiar, maybe we have some mutual friends.

    AARGH double post...[sn]

  7. Try to find some Chorus II's, the midrange is better and the bass is more enveloping, both sell fairly close in price.

    $400 - 750 depending on condition.

    My Chorus II's with some power behind them will make either of my CD players skip through the music, just to give you an idea on what you get, front row concert is the best way i can explain the sound. All you need then is some kids blowing pot smoke in your face and some drunk behind you falling over to get the full effect.

  8. Mercy, I didn't know we have all these experts. I am going to try them all, I'll get back to you

    Thanks guys

    Don't forget to turn on the air freshiner after experimenting and eating all those eggs, women just love when you pull the covers over their head after a good egg meal. [;)]

  9. LaScala trumps the Cornwall & Chorus with pure finesse and overall sound quality & punchy midbass but needs a subwoofer to compliment the lack of low end bass.

    The Cornwall sounds better than the Chorus when powered by low wattage amps and may be better overall for some types of music, while not my favorite of the Klipsch lineup many here will probably disagree.

    If you have some power and a large room to fill i would recommend the Chorus, very hard hitting low end, clean highs and vocals to die for, my favorite for hard rock slam as good as front row seats at the best sounding concerts.

    Just my opinion anyways. [:D]

  10. The trick is not to use very fresh eggs, not to say let em rot first but the older they are the easier they are to peel.

    My wife is the expert on this subject and has found this to be the correct answer. Yes NOTE: She buys fresh eggs and lets them sit out over night. She read somewhere that leaving them out for 24 hours equals a week's worth of aging.

    Buying your eggs a week ahead of time is really best, leaving out overnight may invite unwanted results. [+o(]
