You say you use "SUBS" in your two channel set up. Can you elaborate a little. Stereo subs? Multible LFE Subs? Dennie

That's a great story Rich! Very nice of Kevin to help out a family member! You see, I belong to a couple of A/V forums and most have forum members that are really good people. At the Klipsch forum, it has always seemed more like family to me. We don't just have A/V in common, we have some of the best speakers ever made in common and that seems to tie us together more like family. As you said in the title of this thread........."another forum success story". That is what this place is all about. Working together to have the best systems we can have without all the [bs]! It sounds like you're on your way to listening to some vinyl and I am excited for you! I am a little worried about the Ballet/Ballerina shoes coming out, but hey, if that is your thing, it is fine with me! [] LOL [8-)] Thanks for sharing the story Rich and Happy Listening! Dennie

Now that is funny! I bet it would be much more to his liking! Dennie

I really like how you painted them to match the audio racks! Nice job Joe! [Y] Dennie

Hey Mike, why don't you try cutting the offending frequencies with the eq? By raising the mids, I am sure it sounds terrible, you are just adding to the mess. It is always recommended to cut rather than raise. ...and let me add the disclaimer: I am not a musician, nor play an instrument, but I love my audio! Dennie

Well, then my four way fantasies will have to remain with these.........[<)] Dennie[]

Hey Marvel, this may be toooo Much Information??!!!??? But please, do tell....... Dennie []

I'll third the towel method! Like Steven said, use the tone controls to cut the bass and raise the treble! Dennie

What about a Left and Right placement? Turn 3 ways into 4 ways, etc. Stereo Subs! But again, little hands could be a factor. [:S] Dennie

Hey Joe, I think you're going to have to try it to know for sure. But I wanted to mention a little trick I use to keep "curious eye's and hand's" away from the cool blinky lights, I put a small piece of electrical tape over the lights and that stops the curiosity. If you need to see the light, you can poke a small hole in it with a needle to let just the smallest of light to shine through. I am curious as to how raising the subs will react with the room, please keep us posted. Dennie

I'm still waiting for my June issue! I think my mailperson is taking it home and reading it first! [:@] Dennie

I just took a second look and the DVD player on top is an good example on how much electroincs have changed over the years! [] Dennie

Wow! Sweet find! It does look nice and I bet even nicer when the lights are out! Do tell.....How much did the trip down memory lane cost you? * Note to self: Go to the thrift stores! Dennie

This one caught my attention!!! [A] Dennie

I have an Adcom GFA 555 and it is a fine amp. It has enough power to blow the cat around the front room! [] If I were you, I would get a 2 channel amp and let the AVR take care of the center and the surrounds. By using an outboard amp for the mains, it will really lighten the load on the AVR and it will power the center and surrounds with power to spare. This is also the most budget friendly way to go. By the way, Welcome! This is a great place to ask anything you need to ask. Dennie

....and might I say CECAA850, WOW! What a big Sub Woofer you have!!! [][Y] Dennie

I hate Fakes!!! I stand corrected Dennie! My bad. I thought you were talking about a 60s or 70s pressing. Next time I might actually read the thread carefully before making stupid comments. No problem Gary, it still makes me wonder how we know it is a first pressing, after the wrapper (with Sticker) is removed. I guess from reading Canyonman's comments, there is something in the "deadwax". Maybe I could pull out my "price guide" and see if it makes any refereance to first pressings. Dennie

I hate Fakes!!! [:@]

Good question Thebes! I just received a copy of CSNY, Deja Vu Live. On the wrapper there is a sticker that says First Pressing. But no where else on the album cover, Liner, or actual records does it say First Pressing. Once I remove the cellophane wrapper......who would know it is a first pressing? Thanks, Dennie

Classical IS a toughie. You have composers and conductors, LP's with multiple composers, box sets etc. There's about no 'typical' method that works with classical. Larry's collection may be organized like no other but it LOOKS COOL AS HECK because you have bunches of similar looking spine labels. Plus since he's purchased most new himself, he knows a lot about the issue by the label it's on. Works splendidly for him. This is how my main LP cabinet looks -- obvious DG yellow spines in the upper left & Londons in the rest of that shelf; Angels/EMI singles and boxes upper right; Phillips and miscellaneous brands second shelf left; and RCAs, MHS second shelf right; etc.DG and Phillips big box sets are in a different cabinet. The main point here: it's easier to alphabetize by composer within each of these smaller groups of LPs. Those that don't alphabetize easily I stick in the end of their row. I get it! Thanks for the visual Larry, it helped! That does seem like the easiest way to find what you are looking for! Michael, I thought about building my own shelving, but I just can seem to find the time and I got tired of walking around the albums. So Ikea was simple (well, almost) and not too bad on the wallet. Nice job, I like your shelves very much! Dennie

Yeah, as much as I do not want to move those records again and no matter how "stable" it looks and how hard it is going to be to pull it all the way out to turn it......I would always know it was wrong and I can't live with that! Hey Mechman, THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is one of those things that if I didn't know, I would be okay, but since I do, I am going to have to fix it and better to fix it before I get all the records sorted out than after! [:'(] I think! Dennie

Here are pics.... Right Side Left Side.....

Now I am wondering, since it is sandwiched between two walls, there is no way it could tip over. Maybe it will be okay? There may be an inch or so on each side. Thoughts.......anyone? Dennie[:S]

I will Thank You right now! I had two friends stop by yesterday after I put it together and asked them (as the instructions are not very clear) and they both agreed the long shelves were uprights and the short ones were shelves. Gosh darn it. I need to go remove 1400 or so albums before I am one of those pictures. Although mine is sandwiched between two walls, I would still hate to become one of those pictures!!! Thanks Mechman, you are the Man!!!! Dennie

Very Nice looking turntable! Especially with the red vinyl on it! I was using a Yamaha YP-B2 for a while and the guy who had it before me had the wrong size belt on it, so it ran just a little slow. I was going to order a new belt when I found my ELAC and have never looked back. I should get a belt for it and see how it compares to the ELAC! Sweet Score Joe. Looks great! Dennie
