Ended up buying Steve's (fyrpwr) KP-201's! Mike

Understood!

Thanks everyone! Keep it coming! This Forum is special in so many ways! Mike

Thanks Mongo! Craig's a multi-faceted individual... I'm pretty sure he can fix SS gear as well. [] Mike

I know there are a number of satisfied NOSValve customers here, so am a little surprised by the lack of participation in this thread. I know its the start of summer and all, and most of us are much more active here in the winter, but Craig is really in need here and could use our help. Please donate if you have the means to do so. If you were in his shoes I know you would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Mike

I used to have CF-2's where they were 12' apart and 1' from the front wall. They were toed in to the listening position about 12' away. I miss those speakers quite a bit. I bought them new in '96, and they started my Klipsch journey... Mike

Ray, Long time no see, and good to see you posting! I hope things are well for you and yours! Mike

Thanks Bill! I sent the guy an email.

I was tempted! []

Anyone know where I can find a pair for sale? Looking to use in my garage. I currently have a very nice pair of Heresy's out there, and need to get them back into my bedroom system. :-) Mike

I need a pair for my garage if anyone knows where I can find a pair. Thanks, Mike

LOL

Let me just say that I had this exact same combination before swapping out the SME 3009 arm for a SME IV, and it is just a killer combination! You will not find another table/arm/cart combo for 3 times the price that would compete! Mike

Those look nice Carl! Congrats on their first pair of Klipsch speakers! I'm sure it's the first of many! :-) Mike

Nice meeting you today Bill! I hooked up the Luxman to my Heresy's in the garage, and it sounds fantastic! Thanks again for a sweet deal!! Will have to have you by this fall when I have a little audio get-together at my place. Mike

Have I said how much I am enjoying this preamp? [] I am just blown away by the level of detail this thing produces, and to listen at the levels I do without fatigue is an added bonus. It is just a joy to listen to music again. Mike

And from the top...

In the rack...

I think Dean was laughing at the whole sentence, but then again I could be wrong too. [] Getting back on toopic, I received the case from TK and installed it a few hours ago. I gotta say, this thing is beautiful, and it fits like a glove over the NBS. The pictures don't do it justice... Mike

Done!

Thanks Gary! Craig mentioned it could take a few hunderd hours for the step-up to break in. In addition, all of my tubes are new, so I'm going thru that as well. My only complaint (and it's very minor) is there is some noise with no music playing and the volume at about the 100 - 105db level (agree, that's pretty loud ;-). Craig said it's coming from the Step-Up transformer and he is correct. When I plug the TT into the MM input and flip the selector switch to MM I do not hear it. He mentioned when things settle down he can address that. Just to be fair I had the same noise coming from the BBX only it was louder. :-) All in all I couldn't be happier with this preamp.Thanks again Craig!! And like Gary mentioned, I wish you and yours nothing but the best. Keep positive and keep pushing on. Mike

Who would order it any other way? [] Mike

Yeah, I've got too nice a pair of Heresey's to put out there, and would really like to get my hands on some pro speakers for the garage. I've been looking, but nothing has really come up. This integrated should be perfect for diving some pro speakers. Mike

I'll be playing golf on Sunday but not sure when/where just yet. I'm playing in a tournament at Falcon's Fire on Saturday and that can't be more than 10 - 15 minutes from you. Maybe I can get it then. Mike

Mark, The line level on this preamp sounds simply fantastic! The preamp has a switchable phono input for both LOMC and MM, as well as a CD input and 3 AUX inputs. Its the real deal! Mike
