They are just smokin'.. Molly T and Golden Highway.

So... thanks to Dean for the caps for my Heresy IIs. I've been listening to some my favorite CDs and vinyl over the past few days since getting them back together. Not a drastic change, but a little more transparency/clarity. They sound great, no complaints at all. To the point, they still sound like my beloved Klipsch.

When my late wife and I were first married, she worked as a clerk/mail sorter for the USPS. One of her co-workers, a single guy, decided he wanted to learn about classical music. He bought the entire catalog of a record label... a collection of around 250 LPs. He loaned us ALL. of the Bach recordings he had, probably thirty or more. We worked our way through a lot of them. We were mostly into folk and country rock that was out at the time (early '70s). Maybe that's why, years later, after our youngest son was born and growing up, told us he wanted to learn trumpet. We were a bit puzzled by that, but he went on to do well, played in the Chattanooga Youth Symphony and got a degree in music composition at Valparaiso University. Our own classical collection grew over the years, and (back to the point of this ramble) Larry's wonderful posts helped us along our journey as well. And thanks to Mike for his connection. And welcome back! @Mike Lindsey

They'll need rename our town to Pollen City. Pretty thick around here with all the trees poppin' out.

When I had the object removed from my body I told the anesthesiologist that the anesthesia they gave me the last time made me really sick. He said he could give me something else along with it and gave me an injection in my lower back. He also said it was a THC product and might show up on a drug test for a few weeks. Went in for surgery at 2:30pm, woke up at 6:30am. Never got sick. We have random drug tests at work .. if they fired me I'm sure I could have found an attorney to help out.

That is a common refrain around here. I've had a very nice pair and sold them. Regretted selling them before the day was over. The second pair were beaters, but still missed them. They weren't sold but given to my older son.

A nice live session with just her and piano.

A new rabbit hole for me to go down. Nerina Pallot. She has tons of stuff out.

Into the 70s here, and the pollen in falling like a hammer to the head. Stuffed up sinuses... looking pretty around the neighborhood, though.

Hmmm, I thought the round cup was on the Heresy 1.5, when they got all the parts switched out. No more k55, etc.

Yes, both of them.

They are '89, wih rectangular terminal cups. A bit of a pain, but came up with a way to finish the second one more easily. They sound great!! Will see after a couple of days. Thanks to Dean for the caps! Super appreciate the help.

The first crossover is back in place and this one will be reinstalled in a few minutes. Then I'll listen to some tunes.

That's what I was thinking. I'll have them finished up before the weekend is over.

I've got the new caps put one if the crossovers. That wasn't very hard at all. The two short wires that go from the PCB to the tips of the 5-way binding posts, however are a pain. The traces are on the bottom side of the board. Anyway, one is done but I need to get some adhesive under the single larger cap. I also needed to extend one lead on that cap, as the PCB normally has a radial lead cap, but I have an axial lead. I appreciate the help, though. Trying to decide if I do the second before having a listen or do a comparison. I'm probably too deaf to hear the difference anyway.

I have other house projects going on. Also trying to decide if I want to put the first one back in place and listen to see if I'm deaf yet and can tell the difference. Also had to work today (Sat.). That stupid short wire from the PC board back to the binding posts is a PITA!

I recall that a lot of luthiers use CA as a pore filler.

I really like this, kind of a teaching session of Molly Tittle and Tommy Emmanuel. Amazing to hear them talk about the styles they use and hear examples.

Those are vertical Cornwalls placed horizontal. Nicely done, though.

That image with the 3 port Cornwall is squished vertically.

Also noticed that a least the front and back panels are plywood, not mdf as I thought they were.

I'm replacing the caps in my '89 Heresy IIs. Kind of a pain getting the board and caps off of the pcb but making progress. No real rush. A tip to add, though. I bought a cheap bottle of bright red fingernail polish. When you are sure of the positive connection.

I'm always ready for some Paul Brady. If I have already posted this I'll replace it with something else.
