Teacher of what language? I ask this out of curiosity, because one of my daughters is currently studying interpreting and translation, she is studying English and German and her mother tongue is French. Nice the Scorpions record 👍

Hi, It's Montpellier in France Occitanie region for me, beautiful coincidence 😁 I have already seen many names of cities that I know while walking around with google maps and street: these virtual trips are beautiful. I know that there are many cities in your area in America which bear the names of European cities (French, Spanish, English, Irish, German ...), certainly related to the founders of these cities. Chameleons : nice

And me on my garage, a model from Montpellier 🥵name Buthus occitanus, size 9cm (3" 1/2) News paper article 😆

Here is a Google translation of the user manual of the amplifier from German to English, it is a class AB with input stages in class A. The finest audio technology The 2002PCA from the PCA professional series is a powerful stereo power amplifier. The modern circuit technology and the extremely robust, complex processing are the A guarantee for excellent audio performance paired with absolute reliability plus one excellent price / performance ratio. State-of-the-art power transistors guarantee not only an excellent sound, but also a high level of operational reliability among the extreme demands of tough tour operation. "The show must go on". Innovative technology The technology used, namely the control of the power transistors through a fully symmetrical HIGH-SPEED Class A driver circuit and by a relative high quiescent current of the output transistors enables extremely low distortion values. One unmistakable increase in quality. Transient distortions are plus by speed mature design hardly measurable. The result of all this is an unadulterated powerful and differentiated sound. Brilliant, impulse-faithful reproduction of everyone Sound material with high performance reserves even under critical load conditions distinguish PAS power amplifiers with a robust, only 2U aluminum profile housing the PCA models an attractive appearance, be it as a "STAND ALONE" device or built into the rack. We use a fully symmetrical circuit concept for all power amplifiers. The PCA Models show no dangerous voltage surges or clicks when switching on and off Switch off. Power stages use Mosfet K1058 & J162 transistors

And here is a nice German record with a superb blue amp handcrafted in Bavaria (Schwarzach am Main) by a craftsman. The fact that the record is superbly recorded and that it spins at 45 rpm makes the sound fantastic, my CW's K33Es are thrilled It's a little nod to our friend @MicroMara

Hi, prog music mois

Hi, @Mossy bottom Related to your pretty discs of Western Spagetti movie soundtracks A little off topic, sorry everyone, but a photo of my motorbike in the Tabernas desert in Spain Andalusia, where the Spaghetti westerns were filmed: splendid! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabernas_Desert Famous films were filmed at Tabernas : Un taxi pour Tobrouk, Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, A fistful of Dollars, Once Upon A Time In The West, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, My Name is Nobody, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_shot_in_Almería ✌️

Hi, @Mossy bottom Souvenirs memories, I had a beautiful LP12 in 1980: with a Lurné arm and a beautiful Dynavector Karat Rubis, it was an extraordinary ensemble at the time. Congratulations on your beautiful set up: turntable, arm, cartridge 🧡

Hi, Cary audio from the 90s when Dennis Had was in command, are also a fantastic option with Klipsch Heritage. I don't know what the current models are worth, but there is always a special Klipsch Heritage SLi80 model ! https://www.caryaudio.com/2019/05/17/introducing-the-sli-80hs-integrated-amplifier/ 90' example 😍

Hi, The photographer and his smartphone suck and I failed to pay tribute to him, but the subject is beautiful: The sky of Provence with a beautiful rainbow. The sky of Provence is famous for its colors and its beautiful luminosity, it was painted by great painters who came or come in my region, precisely for this so beautiful sky which illuminates the subjects in a fantastic way: Cezanne, Van Gogh, Renoir , Picasso, Vasarely, Fragonard, Chagall, Cocteau, Signac, Ziem ... and many others. https://www.provence7.com/portails/peinture/peintres-celebres-en-provence/peintres-celebres-de-a-a-z/ There must be photyographers too, moreover near my home there is an international festival of photography every year: the Arles meetings, but here I do not know the subject of photography, nor the names. https://www.rencontres-arles.com/fr/a-propos-du-festival/ ✌️

Congratulation ! Very nice set: EMT 948 and Dynaco 😍 What is the list of Dynaco lamps and valves, please @Guy Landau note : The Blues and Abstract Truth, one of my 10 favorite Jazz albums

Hi, I just received 2 beautiful Russian 5U3C valves from Ukraine. These are Svetlana from 1962 with black Plate, they are taller and thinner than 5U3C Svetlana gray plate from the 70s / 80s. They are beautiful and I find the softness of the sound that the SLI-50 Cary had with the CV729 valve: I love it 🧡

Hi, I think like John J, if you want to keep your vinyls use a MicroLine (or MicroRidge is the same), a Shibata or Fine Line. https://www.ad-na.com/en/product/jewel/product/stylus.html The MicroRidge / MicroLine is the most elaborate stylus, with laser and computer size. Its contact surface with the groove of the disc is the largest of any diamond cut. Audiotechnica, Shure V15 V MR, Dynavector, JICO and others have used this MicroRidge size on their high end cartridges I have an Audio Technica VM740ML, the MicroLine is great is now not very expensive, I think it's a shame to damage your vinyl records with an elliptical today. https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/cartridges/line-series/vm-series/vm740ml

Hi @Limberpin A test that may interest you: close one of the two vents on each speaker with a thick, airtight cloth and tell us if it's better. This test is completely reversible and does not damage your equipment. The bass reflex will be tuned lower, listen. If you don't like it, take it all off and it will go back to how it was before. Here is the same test on an ONKEN speaker

Hi, You're welcome for research, it's the Klipsch community forum effect ✌️ Here on the McIntosh brochure says 22 "deep, as you saw at the resellers, but that's with the front panel buttons and rear cables connected. MA5300 Integrated Amplifier Brochure But this is an approximate and estimated value depending on the cable used; in my opinion they get 22 "by putting banana plugs on the connectors of the speakers. And in any case it is always possible to mount angled cables, especially the mains power supply, with forks or bare for the speakers or the XLRs which are often those with the longest sockets: all are available in shallow depths, for example for professional rack mounting: where space saving is important. example Well, the main thing is to have the drawing of the amp to reflect its size, as in the manual

double post 🤩 🤪

@CoryGillmore The MA5300 does not measure 22 ", but 18" 3/4, so about 20 "with the cables. In addition, if you let the chrome parts of the front face protrude, you regain 29/32": which will roughly be 19 " deep with the cables, it should go through your furniture, right? See page 5 there is a side drawing of the appliance, the distance between feet is 13" center distance, approximately 14 "from edge to edge of the outside of the feet. See page 5 >>>>> MA5300 Integrated Amplifier Owner's Manual It would be a shame to miss such a beautiful amp that you like so much for a dimension error, so forget the 22 "and hurray for the 18" 3/4 😆

Hi, If the jumpers are checked and properly in place. Ask Simply speakers if these are compatible, which look very similar look with F30 tweeter #10123010 just the pods that are and the spacer of the support screws which is different: it may be necessary to put a shim or adapt the support. There are in stock. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-replacement-speaker-tweeter-160748.html F30 Tweeter

Hi @CoryGillmore At McIntosh, the Cinema BYPASS feature is called PASSTHRU and the MA5300 is well equipped with it.

Hi @Chad Same at home in France, I have a Chrome browser and I haven't been able to connect all week Now it works very well 👍

Hi, You can make it yourself with a wooden board, fabric and neodymium magnets https://www.google.com/search?q=neodymium+magnets&sxsrf=AOaemvLUTkcIubrPQNZBrt5fG0E50OIH5Q:1634533382512&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj264ytl9PzAhVTXsAKHV6qAFUQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1366&bih=625&dpr=1
