  1. Hudson was a superb musician. He will certainly be missed. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/garth-hudson-the-band-dead-1234804659/
  2. He was an EE at Rockwell-Collins for over 18 yrs. His LinkedIn page had this under education: _____________ Education None None Engineer without degree, position held by examination, qualified for the top pay grade for my position based on the exam scores. ________________ Miss him a lot.
  3. There is always someone to remember. DJK was smart, snarky, a selfless individual. He would try all sorts of speaker designs, make sawdust. Funny as can be. A bit irreverant... He was a walking encyclopedia, coming out with the wildest bit of history and trivia. The audio world lost a good guy when he passed away. Those on here who actually knew him, met him or talked with him knows what I'm saying.
  4. Rob Ickes (dobro) & Trey Hensley (guitar/vocal)
  5. I would try to find a pair of correct Klipsch crossovers if you want them to sound right. You would need to know what each of the components are (woofer, mid and tweeter) to get the correct version. @Deang
  6. Of course they are obsolete. Dennis thought they were terrible amps over 30 years ago. Probably long before that. I can only speak of when I knew him.
  7. My XLI800 has both, and I have to use the rca inputs as my tube preamp only has unbalanced outs. I have used the balanced inputs when using one of my mixers, though.
  8. I believe he was referring to the DC300A, which in the early '80s was really pricey. Then again, the BGW amps were pricey, too. I think they still are.
  9. My 'Duke' isn't noisy on mids and tweets. Was excellent on my LS, ad was fine on my Heresy IIs. Currently using XLi800 amps on the Heresy IIs. They are heavy, but it's not like I carry them around.
  10. He shouldn't need a schematic. I got the correct parts from Dean, @Deang one of the forum members who is approved by Klipsch to repair Klipsch crossovers. He sent me the parts. They didn't change the sonic character of the speakers, but tightened things up a bit. Certainly happy with the Heresy IIs. I'll try to get the pics/info to you tonight, but I've been out of the country for almost a month and having to catch up on things at home now that I'm back.
  11. I have a pair of Heresy II with the rectangular input cup. I replace the capacitors on mine last March. There are four (4) caps on each crossover. The caps are soldered to a small printed circuit boardthat is attached to the cup with three (3) screws. The board also has the tips of the binding posts that stick through the boards and has a bare jumper wire soldered to them. I had some trouble getting those wires attached as the jumpers are short and heat transfer caused the othe end of the jumpers to com un-soldered. I came up with a soluution which I can detail if you wish. Different capacitor types will change the sonic signature of the speakers. I'll post some pictures later when I have time.
  12. Love the string arragement on this. Such a classic song written by Jon Randall & Bill Anderson
  13. After nearly a month in the islands, we woke up yesterday to about 4 inches of the white stuff. The roads were all pretty clear by afternoon. Cold over night so a refreeze... will wait until late morning to go out... let the sun do its magic.
  14. Audio... New guitar Put parts in empty HIP cabinets Finish JWC's Snails Video... We're fine with what ee have Sell off some equipment... RTR decks Sansui SP2000 pair Sony and H/K receivers More to be found in my closets...
  15. Finally home from the Philippines... rough trip. First flight just over 5 hours... 2 hour layover. Then 14.5 hours to Atlanta. That's a long, lo g time to be in the air. Very smooth flights, though, which was good. Then the shuttle back to home up to just south of Chattanooga. Sunny and then dark. Cold... woke up to snow, had coffee and snack. Back to sleep. Snow's over, maybe 2-4 inches on the ground. A lot different than waking up to 75-80 degrees and sunshine every day for almost a month and back to work on Monday
