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.

He for sure opened my eyes regarding classical music, and I have him to thank for my modest classical vinyl collection. I fell in love with the big symphony recordings, and managed to see a few of them with him, Gary and Marty.
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

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.

I would tell you that I regret selling them, and this just happened a few weeks ago.
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.

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

@Marvel did they both have plywood motorboards and backs?
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.

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.

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