Tony, There is a long thread on the lansing heritage site about the performance series. They apparently rock the house. Not a horn presentation, but very, very good. The biggest problem is how JBL doesn't market their products very well. Bruce

If you are in California, check out: http://www.speakerrepair.com/ You can at least give them a call. Bruce

Can I assume you mean the surrounds on the speakers? They can be repaired or you can get new drivers. The 'rubber boots' or foam surrounds deteriorate over time. Bruce

Hence my comment that it would be easier to go the other way ( EL34 to 6L6). I can only imagine that most older tube gear way a real cost/performance ratio and the power tranny was close to the limit already. Not everyone overbuilds. When it came to iron, the cost went up quickly. Still does. Bruce

That's because your browser draws the size of the table statically and it cannot resize the image until the whole thing has been downloaded...then when the image finishes loading and resizes, there is nothing to tell the table to resize...I bet on a page refresh (when the images are already cached) that the tables go back to normal size. No cigar for you. IE will resize as the pages load, but Firefox will not, even with a refresh.

Larry, I noticed the dust too. But Neo said he just was placing them back and hadn't hooked up all the cables yet as well. ...and I agree about all the shadows and highlights. Bruce ps Listening to Hilary Hahn playing Bach Concertos with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Sounds great! Very relaxing for a Friday evening. Doesn't get you all wired up and tense like that metal music[]

Tom, Korngold=excellent compositions! Bruce

You could change the color depending on the mood you wanted to set. Have you noticed that the forum software resizes the images but the table/frame stays the same size as the original image?

Damon, Are you rsupposed to be all dried in before snow falls up there? Hope they can move along a little faster (with quality). Bruce

IC preamp stage and LEDs for biasing the output tubes. Pretty novel. 12 VAC power input. No wonder it is such a low output amp.

Those Moondogs look great Neo. I love that burled wood on the bases. Bruce

Dee, I have been told that with some minor adjustments that you can go the other way. Like put 6L6GCs into an ST-70. There would have to be some adjustments made, but there wouldn't be the load on the heater windings. Switching TO an EL34 would add almost two amps load on the heater windings (assuming two tubes per side). One of the guys on the DIYTube forum pust in 6L6 tubes instead of EL34 tubes on one of Shannon's boards. Maybe he used 6L6 tubes on the EL84 based amp. Added wires off the board and ran them to octal sockets instead of the pc mount 9 pin sockets. Then he had to make adjustments with the PS to have all the voltages split out correctly. Bruce

Duke, Did you get those (pic is familiar) from the dude on the Lansing forums? The guy who had 8 sets of those from movie theaters? Bruce

They went out of style about 21 years ago, unless you do a lot of yachting. [] One of the best, cheapest shoe sotres near me carries Sperrys. They are still a great comfortable shoe.

I keep telling ya they're elephant cheeks!!![]

I have always enjoyed listening to Mark O'Connor, more widely known for his country fiddle playing. He has also written and recorded more classical styled pieces. Whe he came and played his "Fiddle Concerto" (5 movements) with the Chattanooga Symphony he had it plugged in. The main benefit was the slight improvement in gain over the rest of the orchestra. The sound was still very much acoustic. I'm with D-MAN on this, and can't remember anyone specic performer who plays electric violin with an orchestra. Of course most instrument were made amplified to be able to be heard over other instruments. The kalimba or thumb piano being one. You can barely hear it in a room of folks talking. Then the players realized they could change the sound of their intrument and things haven't been the same since.

Doesn't MS Photo Editor come with XP (the OS) or just with MS Office? If you have Photo Editor, you just open the photo and go to the image menu. Under that is resize. If you leave the "allow distortion" box unchecked, as you change oone value the other will change as well. Attached are a couple of screen shots stuck in as one image.

I'm thinking you could resize your pics before uploading them to the server. Or Klipsch could prevent uploads over a certain size. A 1.7 meg jpg is too big. It's nice that their software resizes the pics, but they take forever to load the first time. Making is 600 pixels wide would do wonders for the speed. btw, nice Fisher. Bruce

I have an older Argus that belonged to my wife's father. I will try to get a pic of it and post it. Iis doesn't have the model number on it anywhere, and doesn't have the rounded ends. Pretty neat camera too. Forgot that I have a military camers that uses 70mm roll film. Has a huge Leitz lens.

An 85mm is just about a perfect length for a lens. I had a 1.8/85mm on my old Pentax. Loved that lens, until it got mold growing inside of it. []

Can't exactly hold them in your hands like that once they get bigger. Just like your own kids. []

Nikon FM2 Graflex form WWII that uses a smaller than 4x5 sheet film (I don't remember, and haven't used it in over 20 yrs.) Kodak folder from early last century. The leather is coming off of both of the old ones.

I just ran across this while looking for something else and just thought I would pass it on. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5804074338

Yeah, that info is ALL Dennis' fault! [] Credit must go where credit is due.
