  1. the T350 is a better K77 or T35 - goes higher - and projects further with a more precise sound image - however I dont know if the 16ohms tweeter can work in the Klipsch Khorn as they are designed for the 8ohms tweeter instead -
  2. here is how they make a tube amp by hand -
  3. a lot of the staff at the MAC factory are stiil there since 1949 ,
  4. They have a lot of experience on any crossover - the Sonicaps are tremendous quality -
  5. this dress was made by a color blind designer - blue or champagne , it is just awful as a styling dress - I dare any woman to wear one for more than an hour , it would be like wearing a billboard of a pretty bad taste -
  6. windows 8.1 is a phenomenal software - and pretty hard to beat - it takes a bit of time to get used to it - plus it has a lot of win7 in it already as win 8 or 8.1 are upgrades win 7 software - win 7 being the one that changed it all -
  7. Curious about this thread that was done about 6 years ago - the OP was using ERSE caps versus the Sonicaps in a Cornwall 2 crossover upgrade , can the OP enlighten us whether the ERSE are still up to the job -
  8. I know this is an old thread - but how did you do on the K43 issue - just to advise you that I have 3 sets of the correct K43 - also if you are parting with the KSM speakers - I would be intersted in these as well - either way wins -tx
  9. I have a couple of pairs in the 8 ohms and 16 ohms - suddenly I think I will be able to fund my new jubilees - let's see if they sell - mine wil follow - the difference is that mine are NOS -
  10. they are worth every pennie - 1650$ -mint condition -
  11. You can take care of records by always keeping them in their sleeves - with a good carbonfiber brush , that is enough - congratulations on the VPI Scout with an Ortofon 2m Black cartridge but as a newbie - you are asking for trouble with TT's - my advice is -keep the VPI as a great looking TT - BUT buy a USED Technics newer sl 1200 series with a set of precalibrated cartridges and have fun - these require no setup , a child could use these with no trouble - plus they deliver excellent sound - all these very expensive TT'S are very complex - I have several TT's and when I really just want to listen to vinyl , my Technics are my saviors - no wonder they sold millions and millions - OK, I don't get this, and disagree with some. So, you are saying to keep the VPI to look at? For real? And get a child's play (your term) Technics to actually use? What a waste. Spend thousands on a TT and cartridge to let it sit and play second fiddle. Wow, talk about disposable income.....You can't take care of vinyl simply by keeping them in their sleeves with a carbon fiber brush. Big mistake. Washing, drying, new sleeves work semi-wonders....One thing I do agree with is that some of the vintage Technics machines are pretty sweet (at their price point). I just got a completely restored SL-1400 MK2, with an Ortofon Blue, Emotiva Phono Preamp (on Lemonstring's recommendation) and I love it. I like your remark about the new sleeves -did you ever clean records with glue or is that not recommended - and yes the 1400mk2 is a marvel -

  13. I was wondering if the OP had gone ahead with his purchase
  14. the simple idea of a budget home theatre system sounds wrong - you are better off - buying a good system worth say 3k$ that is used 4-5 years old but in great shape and pay the 1k$ - anything less is garbage - and will on the long run be worthlesss - the THX series from Klipsch are phenomenal and will last 20 years at least - I bought a set for 5k$ last year that was more the 20k$ 4 years ago - hooked them up , and was astounded - you cant expect a budget aystem to be anything other than low quality - that's why a lot of us buy the Heritage series - as they are super quality -
  15. It has to do with Randy's quote about being something wrong with them because the price was low. My point was, just because the price is cheap doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the speakers. right on , just like a guy last year , who won this huge lottery - http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/02/california-lottery-official-sole-winner-425m-february-powerball-jackpot-comes/ Oh yea, that was me. so what happened - did you buy them - if you did , send us some pictures
  16. Ithis works for me - a bunch of nice posters -all over the walls - old seventies style
  17. great quality - impeccable finish -
  18. by mounting it on a metal plate then attaching it on the panel so the connector don't have to go all the way through the panel. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sbpp-si-binding-post-plate-silver-anodized--091-600 very clean - and neat result
  19. they are all the same - they use the same diaphragm - the old ones are alnico round magnets that some prefer to the square ferrite magnet - they say that these are smoother - the old round ones are very sought after by the purists and I will never give up these , they are the best for me - the alnico magnet can demagnetize with age - the ferrites do not - the ideal is to have a couple of sets handy -
  20. if your theater room can do both hifi and multi- channel , why not as long as it fits - you might enjoy it even more as you are already very confortable there
  21. The Duracrest Heritage fabric is a magnet for cats - some dogs too but for different reasons -
  22. maybe the jubs just arent for you -it happens or you are expecting too much from them as they are -
  23. exact same - results , except they go higher
  24. YES that is the easiest way to repair if you have the mud (ferrite or rectangular) magnets. For those with the older, round alnico magnets the loose diaphragm with leads that must be carefully soldered will have to be used. YES that is the easiest way to repair if you have the mud (ferrite or rectangular) magnets. For those with the older, round alnico magnets the loose diaphragm with leads that must be carefully soldered will have to be used. the plastic cup with the soldered diaphragm can be used on the Alnico round tweeter K77 and the Mud ferrite square magnet alike - -the only problem on the round alnico magnets is that the old screen may not come off from the horn - so you do not replace the new screen and you just re-use the old screen with the new gasket in the cup -
  25. I second everyone who mentions the waffle grille as a protection device - did you check to see if there was a surround kit available from Klipsch parts or other sources for the KD13 - it looks to me that was the issue - old rubber - why mess with a recone - at this stage - plus I would stress that a proper Klipsch Cone is needed here , not an aftermarket which may sound very different -
