Hi Kevin: I'm doing good!! Hope all is well with you and yours!! Any exotic fly fishing trips planned to escape the winter? I didn't explain very well at all what I installed on the bottom of my bass bins. They are neoprene "gliders" not sliders, which can be confused with the hard plastic type cups that people place under the legs of furniture. Here is a link to the thread I followed and it's near the bottom of page 2 that references what I'm trying to convey. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/37447/334488.aspx Thanks JJ

Hi: Mine are situated in natural corners and resting on a hardwood floor. I've added 3 "sliders" (no, not White Castle burgers) to the bottom of each bass bin as suggested by HDRBuilder. I've added pipe insulation to the tail boards but not to the top of the bass bins as others have mentioned. Don't know why I missed/overlooked that part but will be adding the pipe insulation to the bass bins shortly. Thanks JJ

CapZark: I'm running into the same exact problem you are experiencing. My BBX is in Mark's hands to see if there are any issues with its Phono section. The TT (MusicHall 2.1) works fine connected to my Scot 299c but when it's connected to the BBX LOMC, I have to crank the volume and the gains all the way up just to get an audible sound. A CD/DVD player hooked up to the BBX works fine. It's frustrating and I'll keep you up to date on my progress as I go along. JJ

Happy Birthday, Glenn!!! [^] JJ

Great post. I'm curious as well! Larry will come to our rescue!! Thanks JJ

Hi: I've been using a KLF-C7 for about 8 years with my CW1's and have been more then satisfied with the results. There has been times that I've swapped out the C7 with another CW (Non Vert) and the difference to my ears wasn't as substantial enough to warrant such a big center speaker. I also have had an RC-3 in the mix and there was a noticeable difference so I use the RC-3 as it was intended for; It's being used with a full RF-3 HT system in my bedroom. (RF-3's, RS-3's). Good Luck in your adventure!!! JJ

Happy Birthday Amy!!! and welcome to a new demographic...(having to check a different age category box on surveys) JJ

....and wearing helmets Man did I hate wearing those helme..oppps said too much , me thinks JJ

Thanks for the updates, Picky!!! It appears that the tent erection went up in a much safer safer manner than in 2006. No tractors, Trey not having to climb poles, not having to tie the tent to a stage, and no torrential downpour after it was up. Thanks again, Picky and I'm bummin that I was unable to attend. JJ

Like Edwinr, I too have tried a lot of different amplifiers with my Belles. Scott 299c, Teac Al700p, Dynaco ST-70, the same ST-70 but with Craig's Point-to-Point modifications, and a few different AV receivers (All Denon). I'm not sure what combo I like the best but the Modded ST-70 has been hooked up the longest. I also own KLF-30's and do miss having them in my mainstream system. Sometimes you just need that chest thumping bass to rattle the foundation. Thanks JJ P.S I've only used pieces of fruit for the Pre-Amp duties. (JM-BBX w/ cream and JM-Peach)

Happy Birthday, Bruce!!! [<)][D][^][G]

I'm using a cheap DVD player connected to my Scott 299c I have a question...What output are you guys using to connect your player? (EXTRA, etc) Thanks JJ

Thanks for your contribution, Jorjen!!! It is much appreciated. JJ

Holy Hannah!!! I didn't realize that puppy was that big until it was placed next to the LaScalla. Nice job on the build!!! JJ

Thanks for the updates and feedback, Guys!! JJ

Texarkana I flew in to there (via Dallas/Fortworth) for the Hope Pilgrimage a few years ago. If memory serves me well, it's only 30 miles away and there may be some Pilgrims staying there that could help with transportation. JJ

Dylan: I bought some these and also the Non-Banana ones from Parts Express a while back. Maybe I need to give them another try. The trouble I had was that the forks seemed too thick and it felt like if I tightened them too much, it would crack the barrier strap on the Scott. The Non-banana style of these connectors were so poorly made that most of the Allen studs were stripped and/or not de-burred to accept the Allen wrench. Could have gotten a bad batch from Parts Express and it wasn't worth my time and effort to return them. Thanks Dylan JJ

Thanks for the info, Bob. I think I need to find a good "How to Crimp" primer. My technique of jamming the wire into the connector and squeezing the living @#$@ out of it, with total disregard of the position of the connector, is not right way to go about it. JJ

TF: All of my tube amps (ST-70 and Scott 299c) and speakers (Heritage) are not banana plug capable. This is where the size and type of the spade connectors comes into play. The barrier straps are narrow and the cheap connectors I'm using don't like to be bent, pinched, or re-sized in anyway. Thanks for the De-Oxit tip. I've used it in the pots on my Scott 299c but never thought of using it with connectors and wiring. JJ

Just wondering what all you "Network" building and speaker cable gurus are using. Size? Type (soldered/Crimped)? Source? tools used for crimping? I've been trying to make the "Electrical" spade connectors work but I'm sure there is a better product out there then these. The ones I'm talking about come in different colors for different gauge wire, (Blue, yellow, etc) They are thin, flimsy and just don't seem to make a good compression fit. (or maybe I just not doing it correctly and/or using inferior tools). Thanks JJ

It will be worth the wait!!!! My 299C will never leave my collection and I will probably have it embedded in my tombstone. Thanks JJ

Hi: Here is a thread I started some time back that may give you some additinal information. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/85510.aspx?PageIndex=1 Thanks JJ
