Check it out below. I'm ranked 82K out of several million players. I won't win but I feel pretty darn good about it. If WV and Baylor both make it to the final 4 I'll really be cooking. Nobody is perfect on these things. Are you playing?

There are many testers that test a wide range of tubes. I suspect finding a tester for your kt88s might be the though one. Look on Ebay at the many offerings out there. Some sell for really cheap money too.

Hey Don, I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Hallelujah!

Uh, you took a shower and left them near the bathroom?
When did you see them last? Were they in your pocket and you bent over in the yard losing them?
That was an expensive 6hrs of glasses.

I have SS/tube active xover gear running VOTTs down in the basement. With the lights off the system is really quiet and nice. Turn on all the flourescent 8 foot light fixtures and HELLO this is electrically a noisy a$$ place for a stereo! It sure is nice working under all that light, but its tough on the noise floor. Compromise, compromise, compromise, it always comes down to that.

I still give "comes alive" a spin every now and again. That one is a classic. Sadly, I often find myself sorely disappointed in later efforts by so many artists. Jackson Browne quickly comes to mind. I saw him twice in concert. Once right after "Shakey Town" and then again many years later. That second concert was torture! Hopefully ole Peter has held together better?

I'm winding inductors for my own personal fun. I noticed several people here have used Litz wire for improved performance. Which one though? Does it even matter? I noticed there are at least 8 different Litz configurations for wire.
New England Wire has this type 2 14awg Litz on Ebay:
Would that be appropriate for mid or tweeter inductor winding?
One last question: Is larger inductor wire always better if all else equal? (IE: Solid core 10awg better than solid core 12awg.)
Thanks for any advice on this.

In my teenage years I felt kinda like that bulldog a time or two.[Y]

The Emotiva apparently had a better isolated ground. When you installed the Acurus, it completed the "loop" that caused the hum.
-
Off topic, but I understand there are some early Edison bulbs still working! I had an early Edison bulb 10yrs ago or so and it still worked. It had a hand written serial number in it. I had bought it for a dollar at the fleamarket and when offered $60 from a collector I handed it over.

OK, so you have identified 1/2 of the ground loop. I would hunt for the other half and see if that is where you might want to "snip" the ground. Add all other electrical devices to the same power outlet block/conditioner can fix it. Also an antenna's ground can cause the loop. They sell isolators for that.
A ground loop can occur anytime your audio equipment has two grounded items. An antenna can also do it. It's these two or more grounds that make up the loop.

Seems that capacitor life expectancy is one of the great electronic mysteries. I have some 20yr old test equipment full of small electrolytics still working fine. The more those caps are used the better it seems. I suspect this applies to audio caps as well?
How long your sparingly used blackgate caps might last, that's just anybody's guess. How can you really know?

A friend and fellow Klipsch owner came over the other night and took one look at my Belles and said "gosh, they're beautiful".
Paul wasn't so happy with some of his speaker efforts later in life as was evident in interviews, but he got the Belle right and I suspect he knew it.

Just checked my bracket and I've already lost 2 games in today's action (Saturday, round 2) and the first game hasn't started.

Original post by mOOn said they were wired in SERIES? Formula given.

He named the speaker after his wife!
Belle was a school teacher, and in those early years after WWII, when
PWK wanted to have a center channel for three-speaker stereo but his
PWK was attempting to get his speaker business off the ground, it was
Belle's income that kept the household afloat.
wife objected to having a Cornwall on its side under a table and held
that the LaScala was too "ugly" to be in the middle of her living room.
Thus, PWK designed the Belle as a fully horn loaded WAF accommodation...
and it remained in his living room even to his dying day. Basically, it
is a "beautified LaScala" with about the same sound but a lot more
expensive to build. -HornED -
Wow, day 1 full of surprises. My Tourney brackets already look like crap!
-
That picture is kinda tough.
Other than sectoral type capacitors I have not seen them with more than two leads. It would be interesting to know if "structural leads" are sometimes added to larger ones.

Short horn bass design with a cool porting scheme.
