    What I Got Today!

    Just when I think I’m out they pull me back in,I was ready to get away from vinyl and before I started to list my turntable I was looking on one of the Audio sites and a guy had a like new Denon DL-103r cartridge for sale and he was less than 75 miles from me.I contacted him and I told him I was interested in his cartridge and when he told me he was planning on spending a couple of days in Pigeon Forge,Tn .So today we met and I installed the cartridge in my system and what a shock I didn’t think a 450.00 cartridge could sound this good.So instead of selling my turntable I am now thinking about buying or building a record cleaning machine.
  2. My wife was out of town and a dealer called me and asked if I would be interested in. 30k pair of electrostatic speakers for 1500.00.The name of the speakers were ahl tortec 6 ft tall and 5.5 feet wide and they cane in 8 boxes.Ihad to rent. 12 ft truck to get them and it took 6 hours for me and 2 friends to set them up.The sound of those speakers were unreal and when my wife got home and saw the size of them she freaked out.To this day she still reminds me of those huge monsters and anytime she starts to complain about my Klipschorns I asked her if she misses my large electrostat speakers.
  3. I would like a nice power conditioner, smaller Int amp .I am really hoping for a sale,but I will look at anything interesting.This amp retailed for 5000.00 and I have upgraded the 3 12ax7 tube to gold lions and the 6sn7’s to NOS Matched RCA’s
  4. Line Magnetic LM-126ia Limited Edition Int amp, 15 watts per channel based on Western Electric design with 16 ohm speaker terminals to use with classic speakers.I am the original owner and I picked the amp up from the dealer in NC.Only 4 of these amps were sold in the US market and this amp had 2 other amps shacked on top of it causing a slight tilt of the transformers,I have used the amp for 1 1/2 without any issues .I have used it with Klipschorns and Klipsch Belles and they sound great together.This amp is heavy and I am trying to downsize from heavy amps.2600.00 I have upgraded tubes from factory tubes to 4 KT-66 gold lions,2 12ax7 slyvannia green label and 1 Raytheon 12ax7 ,2 nos rca silver letter 6sn7’s and a slyvannia 5u4 .These tubes took an already great sounding amp to the next level.Binteresting trades.Location is Sevierville,Tn I will be glad to email pictures of the amp .
  5. I bought pie shape badge from Klipsch ,nice heavy badges
  6. Let me chime in here as for the reputation of Joe, I have bought and sold to Joe and everything he sold to me was just as advertised and I would tell anyone to not hesitate to deal with Joe.
  7. These are a pair of 12at7 Telefunken tubes matched pair that came from Brent Jesse,I can read made in western Germany on one tube and the other tube has the Diamond Telefunken logo on it but the other letters are rubbed off.
  8. I have a pair of telefunken 12at7 tubes that are a matched pair from Brent Jesse .I will sell them for 125.00 or trade them for a pair of Telefunken 12au7 tubes
  9. I also have had multiple transactions with JC with great results each time.

  11. Ten anniversary Limited Edition LM-126 Integrated amp, Massive built like a tank integrated amp with classic look ,I bought this amp new from a authorized dealer in NC ,this model is a limited edition .4 of these amps were shipped via air freight and stack 4 high resulting in the bottom 2 amps having the weight of the other amps to cause the transformers to tilt in this does not effect the sound and once in a rack the amp looks like new.I have bee using it for a 1 1/2 and no hums with my Klipschorns.I welcome any member to come and listen,I have 2 large systems and I plan on downsizing to one system.priced at 2500.00 with pickup in Sevierville,Tn.I will be glad to email pictures to anyone interested,I have more pictures loaded on my ad on the US Audiomart site.Original box, remote control and manual.Below is a little information about the amp transformer design 1. Study and copy western electric sound, Using a input WE transformer. It is western electric 618 type. As well know, western electric 618 is very famous in world. 3. Use 5U4 vacuum tube to rectifying. And separation high voltage and low voltage rectifying. So the power supply is very strong and good quality. 4. Using two choke coils.
  12. Cleaning out my extra tubes These are 3 pairs of 12AX7 tubes ,1 pair Red letter RCA and the other pair is grey letter with pair of Zenith 12ax7 tubes,price is 110.00 for all 3 pairs.Location is Sevierville,Tn I will also be listing other tubes silvertone 245’s and Telefunken 12at7’s I will email pictures to anyone interested.
  13. JC, are you selling the speakers beside the McIntosh amps
  14. These great sounding speakers are still for sale,with these upgrades I can’t believe they are still for sale.2”tractrix horns,crites crossovers and ct-125 tweeters and the closed backs really improves the bass.

    What I Got Today!

    I know this has nothing to do with Klipsch speakers, but today I was checking out local yard sales and I bought a Cub Cadet Professional walk behind mower 54" cut with 18.5 motor with only 30 hours on it.It is like new and the only downside is mowing season is almost over and I will have to wait until next spring to start to use it.
  16. Thanks, I was lucky enough to find these on the forum and the seller was 3.5 hours from me
  17. I emailed the seller and ask for prices for the Klipsch speakers and I received an email stating Klipsch speaker prices started at 3000 and up
  18. I missed the part about it being an auction , I thought it was an estate sale that had each item with a price tag on each item.I emailed the estate group last week and was told they were still pricing items and would get back to me with a price.
