Randy Taylor

I use Monster cable ( the clear stuff with stranded copper wire), I bought it by the foot and seems to work ok, use to use zip cord before that, can't efford the high dollar stuff and it hard to believe that it sounds that much better for the price, if any better. Maybe I'am wrong here but someone would have to let me try some out to prove me wrong.

It sounds like fun, always wish I could go to one of these shows and hear sound systems I will never be able to afford, I think it's called dreaming.

Cool it sounds like your having a gooood time !!

You mean this old sherwood tube amp was being used with DJ equipment, I must have missed that, know wonder there were problems with the sherwood. Like I said my heart goes out to you tube techs.

I really for the life of me don't see what all the pictures are suppose to say, what I see is a 40+ year old amp with old pots, resistors, and caps. I also see some new parts that Ryan ( I quess put in). To think that a old amp like this is going to be trouble free without a tube tech gutting the whole thing and starting over with all new resistors, caps, and pots is silly. The work Ryan did at that price seems more than resonable to me, I mean take your car to a repair shop for a water pump,and see what that costs and than next week the old thing needs breaks and on and on and on. I do this as a hobby (working on my old amps) and have said to myself I wounld not want Ryan or Craig's job because of things just like this, (working with the general puplic). Any one that buys a old tube amp is shotting craps that it will work right one day, one week or one month. I mean why do think Solid State got so big in the early 70's, because people got tried of all messing you have to do with tube amps. If you were going to buy a new amp like your Sherwood built today it would cost between $3000-$6000 in todays market and if you want all this with a warranty that nothing will go wrong buy a new one. All I can say in closing is Ryan ,Craig and anyone else that works on this old crap that was probably sitting in someone's damp basement for the last 30 years or so, good luck and my heart goes out to you all I wouldn't have your job for nothing.

Well than I guess I have tried a Sovtek tube if the EH7591A is built by them, I wonder if they are going to replace the EH tube too if there going to a smaller tube. I have mixed feeling about the big bottle EH7591A tube anyway seeing that one of mine shorted out this very afternoon, only two months old, maybe 100 hours maybe, I'am pretty sure The Tube Store will replace it,but it scares the hell out of you when I it blew the fuse (I'am glad it did). Aren't tubes fun !

I know I have seen in Sterophile Mag. that they make $75,000 TT's, who are the people that buy these things and do they sound $75,000 good, I mean really! I have a Rega P3 and I know I could do better but I'am happy with what I got, but even if I won millions in the Lotto it would be hard for me to pay that much for a TT. I would probably order a new pair of Klipschorns to replace my Heresy II's, but $75,000 for a TT I don't think so.

I know two Randy Taylor's on the same forum, wild isn't, I have E-mailed forum members and they have replyed to me thinking they are talking to you and I have to explain that I'am the other Randy Taylor from Texas. I have know Idea about the quality of Sovtek tube I never bought one, but I hope these are good for the people that might need to use them, I quess time will tell.

I just read on the Tube Asylum that Sovtek is coming out with a new 7591 tube in about ten months that will have a smaller bottle and fit a lot more of the Scott and Fisher amps than the big EH7591A tube, I sure hope it sounds as good or better. I use the EH7591A tube in my Mcintosh 225 and fits fine and sounds good, but have read where many amps can't use them because of there large size, if this is all true it should be good news for plenty of vintage 7591 amp owners.

That's hard to beleive at that price, I wonder if it is point to point wiring or circuit board, don't forget that shipping from Hong kong is not cheap. Ryan, did you ever get any Klipschorns, those on Ebay a couple of weeks ago looked real nice.

I have noticed that after my system is on and playing music that it sounds faster and more alive after three hours or so, I really don't know why it's that way but it seems that way to me, also it sounds better if I really want to listen to it bad, and if I'am in a great mood, If i'am tied and not really into listen to music it just sounds ok nothing special. I think how you feel can effect the way the music will sound.

Probably the won group that really amazes me are the Rolling Stones, I mean these guys have to be in there mid sixty and they still tour. I saw then at the Astro dome in Houston in '93 and tickets cost $60. a seat, now I here they go for $300. I mean does Mick need the money,he has been putting out hits for forty years and with pretty much the same band he started with. I went to see them in '93 because everyone said they were going to stop touring and I wanted to see them before they stopped, but as far as I know they are still touring.

I imagine you could buy a used Klipschorn in very good shape for less than what these folks want for there new clone speakers. I would much rather have a used Klipsch than what these kolks are trying to sell even if it is new also you could upgrade a klipsch to a nicer model and not lose all the resale value, klipsch will always be worth something because of the name.

How long have these folks been around, looks like they bought plans on E-bay and started to build, they don't say much about the speakers or how eff. the speakers are. I wonder what the crossover is like?

I guess I'am one of the poor boys on this forum I only have a pair of Heresy II's (97's I think) never opened them up ( I think the back dosen't come off, I guess you take out the woofer?)does it have a crossover set up like the Lascalas and can I up grade the caps if I wanted to down the road? I mean they sound great but if I can make them sing better down the road for not a great deal of money I might tackle it. I have read about people upgrading old Heresies but you never hear much about what's in and what you can do with Heresy II's

I saw them once on TV ( I think Dick Clark's rockin New year show) and they were so bad that it sounded like they were all playing a different song, kinda like a very young teenage garage band, it was so bad I had to turn the volume down on the HT I had at the time. They must have all gotten some different bad drugs and it wasn't working for any of them. It was real real bad, this was probably 10 years ago, I thought at the time that they were finished as a band, but later I saw them again on TV and they were good and very tight sounding as a band. I guess we can all have a bad day at work but this was the worst of any pro band I ever saw, my friends and I will never forget seeing them that night and still once in a while we still talk about it.

Are you trying to say that you think some of the members of AeroSmith could have or did some illegel drugs at sometime in there career as a rock band. Just say it ain't so Joe.

I have been have way looking for one of these the last couple of years, but I was hoping to find one used for about $100., I only have about 20 to 30 records that need to be cleaned and spending $150-$200 for one seems like a lot for something I will only use for a little while and than it will be sitting in the closet. I have heard they do a real nice job of cleaning up records. I have seen where you can buy some of them and they cost more than a high dollar turntable would cost. If anyone sees one or has one in the $100. range let me know.

I just saw where Red trumpet is selling this LP for $9.99 and the CD is $14.99. Wow if you have a TT why would you want the CD , unless you buy both so you have one for the car. I would think it would cost more to make the record, go figure.

Hi! and welcome, When I first got my Klipsch Heresey II's I used them with a cheap Technics receiver and found them to sound OK but had a lot of Brightness in the speakers that I found to be annoying, came to this site and read where everone seemed to like tube amps with there Klipsch speakers and bought a old Scott 299B off Ebay and loved the sound and soon advanced to a Mcintosh 225 and a pilot 232 amps and could not be happier with the sound. It seems that when Paul Klipsch designed these speakers he voiced them with tube amps in mind and that is why they sound so good with tube amps.

Tubeinhard, I knew you were going to say that!

Tubeinhard (or what ever your name is) Did you even see this movie or are you just here stirring things up again, like you have done so many times before, read a bad reveiw of the movie and figured you would just jump in and say the movie is know good. It just figures you would say this.

Isn't that the truth !

This is very hard to understand why this movie did so bad over the weekend, it is a great movie. I thought about this movie all day today after seeing it last night, told people to go see it, maybe it will pick up some steam at the box office after people start hearing about how good it is. I can't imagine they could do any better at telling this story than they did.

I just got back from seeing this movie at the late showing, it is very well done, good story and well filmed made me proud to a American and a trace planted Texas. It was produced by Ron Howard and looks like they spent a lot making it and it was filmed in Texas.I hope it does well at the Box office it deserses it.
