    You'll be  a lot closer to hope ak for the annual meet and great.

    Memphis is a looooong way from Alaska.  :D

     

    The USPS abbreviation for Arkansas is AR.

     

    Alaska = AK

    Arizona = AZ

    Arkansas = AR

     

    It's a common mistake.  :)

     

    Back on topic....  The dry rub ribs at The Rendevous are delicious! 

     

    Some incredible music has been made in Memphis; it's the home to Stax Records and Sun Studios.  If you want to see some live music, head down to Beale St.

    WillyBob made it to his Sister's in northern Indiana, and the La Scalas did fit inside his car. I'm not sure if he's still going to North Carolina, I can't imagine him driving over there with all the damage that Florence has caused.

    I was at work but he left a message saying he will try to stop by next week for a get together. 

    When @WillyBob is at your place, tell him to check his PMs.  I sent him my phone number so he could call when he comes by here.  But apparently he was already on the road when I sent the PM.

    My journey has come to an end!! until i start again

    Pioneer SX-1250 receiver

    Pioneer PL-115D turntable

    Grado green cartridge

    LaScalas & Heresys

     

    It sounds really good, and it makes me smile when I listen to it.  But, there's always something else to try.  I'm currently thinking about trying an Ortofon red cartridge.  And, maybe a higher end vintage turntable.  The SX-1250 and the LaScalas are here to stay.  :)

    @Opus  That's pretty much the answer I was hoping for.  Have either of you upgraded the x/o's or gone with the Titanium diaphrams?

     

    No, I have not done anything to my KG4s.  As far as I know, they are stock original.  I bought them at a flea market and have never opened them up.  They are currently used in a secondary system, and I like the way they sound as is.

    I have a pair of KG4s that are on stands in a carpeted room.  The stands elevate them so that they are at ear level when seated.  I am impressed with the KG4s sound.  I haven't listened to them sitting directly on the floor, but I can't imagine getting more bass out of them than I do in their current position.  I'm running a vintage Pioneer SX-850 with them.

    I have the same/similar light string on my deck.  I don't have a dimmer on mine, just 11 watt incandescent bulbs in each socket.  It provides a very pleasant glow that doesn't overwhelm the night.

    Looks like a nice amp. Not sure it would be up for the challenge. With those specs to be honest.

    I think you might be surprised if you tried it.  :)    But it's above your stated budget of $200-$500.

    :D Replaced my Cornwall's with KPT-904's. So; now using the Cornwall's as rear speakers with a vintage Yamaha CR-620 amp. Awesome! (OK; not really "rears" but reversed 2 channel.)  See if you have extra room :D 

    Cheers, Emile

    I tried to convince my wife that the Cornwalls would make great rear speakers.  She said we don't have the room.   :rolleyes:

    Don't rule out a cameo from me at the pilgrimage. If I can sweet talk the wife out of the new car for a few days...

    If I have one day there ... Sat or Sun  - which is better?      @Opus and @Ceptorman  when are you guys headed out?

    I'm headed to Hope Thursday AM.  I'm afraid we've gotten a little short on time for relaying the La Scalas.

     

    @Ceptorman Are you still thinking you can get WillyBob's La Scalas to St. Louis?

     

    @MookieStl said he could get them to Lebanon, MO.  That's a 3 hour one way trip for me.  I don't mind doing that, but not sure I can work it in between now and Thursday morning.

     

    Also if you don't have someone lined up to get them across Texas,  where would they go once they get to Hope?
