  1. I second the KG4s. I am in the process of upgrading my speaker myself. I am coming from KG4 but happy to stay with it until I can justify upgrading to CW. The KG4s are that good. I have compared them to CW running the same amp in different room environment, the only improvement I perceive from KG4 to CW aside from added SPL is having a dedicated mid driver. I also had a quartet a while ago and donated it to my father in law together with a vintage marantz. The marantz is basically good amp (not as good as tube amp ofcourse but still good). I would stay away from quartet though and I cannot comment on other heritage series. Anyway, if you are sticking with klipsch I highly recommend tube amps specially for 2 channel audio. Happy hunting. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  2. Mike, are these 2a3 one of those amps that dictates the genre of music best listened too? If yes, what is best genre listened to it? Up^
  3. Mike, have you used these amp? How does it sound to you? I asked because my tech told me that I better get kinkless tetrode for better linear frequency response. But I did try the 807 and to cut the story short I am now on the hunt for another one. Would you know if your 2a3 amp can be swapped to 807 on the fly? Or does it need to be rewired? I haven't heard of any 2a3 thus I am leaning on the 807 side. Do you have photo of the said amps? I am not familiar with "Hammond 6V6 PPP tone cabinet amps, and a couple 6BQ5 cabinet amps with reverb tanks" though.
  4. Thanks, are you referring to the filament on the 807? Based on my limited research there are several hammond amplifier that look exactly like this. Although they are of 2a3 output tubes. Furthermore several hammond amps are previously made by webster and rauland. If looked up at ebay webster are also allen brand of tube amplifier. The search is on. Here is how it look down under. UP^
  5. Thanks, appreciate it much. Although, I have very limited tube amp experience from PP el84/6bq5 (which is now running mono Parallel PP strapped together to get twice as much power), 7189, SE el34 and some encounters of 845, 300B, 6550 / KT88 (which are way above my current budget) I must say the 807 sounded good indeed. Anyway, the Grease cast including Olivia together with John is on the floor/carpet because I don't have a dedicated shelving for my records, I just hope they don't catch a cold or something. UP^
  6. Hi All, I just bought this amp and they are wonderful sounding to say the least thus I am looking to get a match. They are currently running mono in the other setup hooked via digital front end. The guy I bought this from replaces this with MC30 as what he said. I am wondering if anybody here have something like this that they are willing to let go. I was told this puts out about 20 watts. Other than that the only thing I know about this amp is that it uses RCA 807 (output tubes), RCA 5z3 ( rectifier) and Sylvania 56 (driver?). I am not sure if there are any tubes here that can be swap or use as an alternative / replacement but do PM me for offers. Also appreciate if anybody can tell me a bit more information or history about this amp, thanks.
  7. that's funny.. but can't deny I do post nude amp photos there, enjoy
  8. I am not sure why the photo is not showing on your side but I can see them from my windows laptop, android phone / tablet and Apple iPad, hmm... How can this be?
  9. Hello All, I initially wanted to name this topic LOVE for sale because these items are just so precious to me and it's the love month. I do prefer to sell them as bundle cause I can't stand to see them apart. I am at Chicago postal area 60148, Please look at the photos and ask question for item conditions. Shipping options can be discussed. Anyway without further a-do here they are: Eico HF-85 - $599 (StereoRehab serviced with 1 year warranty) Note: A touch of putty was used to secure the volume knob. Eico HFT-90 - $99 (Serviced by previous owner) Note: there's a dimple on the on/volume control of the fm tuner.

    Interstate Move

    Drive yourself...take a few days and travel Route 66 (sidetrack the interstate parts if need be)....make frequent stops...see America ... Great advise, I myself would do this only if I am not with my son during this move. Since it will be me and my son (wife not included, yey!?) doing this move in time for the next school year start.

    Interstate Move

    shocks... my wife won't permit me to drive interstate and that "baking in the sun" comment scares me. Oh my dear eico, marantz, arcam, klipsch and castle speakers must come with me, anything else including the car I don't mind help!?

    Interstate Move

    Hi Guys, After a year we decided to move from IL to CA. I wonder how people here do it since this will be our first interstate move. The plan is that we fly to CA and have 1 of our car (CR-V) professionally moved together with my AV stuff inside the car (the usual - 2 amps, 1 tuner, 1 receiver, a 30" speaker, a 12" speaker, a dac, a 55" tv and a laptop). Basically I am looking for recommendation / budget on the car shipping company that offer this service and or any other recommendation to securely move my stuff. Thanks in advance.
  16. Hi, I bought it used this year. Although I haven't seen any comparison between this and the latest version. You can find reviews here amongst others: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/428-peachtree-audio-dac-it-review-aka-dacit/ http://www.stereophile.com/content/peachtree-dac149it-da-converter#Y3CM98Vq6J6rujFy.97 http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2011/11/peachtree-audio-dac-it-ess-sabre-9022/ Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
  17. Hi, I am selling my Peachtree Audtio DAC IT bought a while ago. I've been using it via toslink with positive result and only selling due to redundancy. Comes complete with original box, manual, remote and power adapter for $150, thanks. Also posted at craigslist: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/ele/5680429956.html
  18. Woah, a little bigger than what I need, perhaps dq10 will do. OT, heared this from my tech setup using 4 speakers and big jbl sub, makes me feel I'm on a front roe of a concert hall. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

  23. Congrats to that, so far heard kg4 and CW and preferred kg4 due to limited size and amplification. Not sure uf I would get same result with KG3.2 though. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
