  1. Michael, After pasting the address into your message, hit enter; that creates a hyperlink.
  2. EDIT: 02-16 @ 10:25 EST Beats me, but here was a link to the "auction." See how easy that was Michael?
  3. Tim- Thanks for the "Betreft" explanation. I bet Miles' horn sounds fine coming out of your horns.
  4. What's with all this "Betreft: Re: Betreft: Re: Betreft: Re: Betreft:" stuff in the subject line of this and other posts? Oh, by the way, congratulations on your Khorns.
  5. Here are there locations on a US map. http://www.forwardair.com/locations/falocations.htm DTW there as expected.
  6. Cornwalls are one of my favorite speakers. Heresies are fine, but they can't compete with Cornwalls. Without a perfect space for Khorns, I'd take Cornwalls over Khorns. My next project is to build a "Cornscala" variant. My Cornwalls were sold to a woman in Hope, AR and my son has the Heresies at school.
  7. Thanks for the link. Coincidentally, I started a similar thread, Music over the Net , today on 2-Channel.
  8. I'm looking for a better 8-Track and some of those wax cylinders.
  9. I assume that Detroit Metro has forward air service, if I'm wrong I know that someone will point that out. I could transport the vaults in my van and store them in our warehouse. If they can be sent to Detroit Metro, there's no excuse for abandoning them on a loading dock.
  10. Hello Michael! As I type I'm listening to Jazz88 from Minneapolis. The DJs are high school kids, and it shows, but the music is cool. The CBC link to CBC Radio 2 will get you Andy Shepard (Sp?) and After Hours, a good source of relaxing jazz for the wee hours. Be sure to check out Ed Love's Destination Jazz on WDET from 7PM to Midnight M - F. If you run across any good links, please share them. BTW, if you have any old autoformers, I'm looking for a pair to make DIY ALKs for the schools' La Scalas. I'm also planning to do the bass reflex mod on the La Scalas this summer. Enjoy the links.
  11. EDIT: 02-17 @ 12:37pm EST While the original purpose of this thread was to share links to streaming music on the web, it has taken a more technical tack on page 2. EDIT: 02-16 @ 10:49AM EST The edited subject is more to the point than the previous title. Since I often find myself working at the computer day and night, I more frequently listen to jazz over my Comcast broadband connection. Its surprising how good the cheap Altec AVS300 computer speakers (including tiny powered sub) sound. Sitting so close to the speakers, its kind of like wearing headphones. Someday Ill connect the PC to the pre-amp to see what it sounds like through real speakers.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Ive attached links to the stations I listen to most often. Id be interested in any other links that you know of to good music, it need not be jazz. To make it easy, I'll post an updated compilation of the links suggested to date. Please keep 'em coming. http://www.wdetfm.org/listenlive/ eclectic mix with JAZZ M-F <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />7PM to Midnight EST http://www.jazz88fm.com/ Minnesota Public radio, mostly JAZZ http://kjzz.org/ Public Radio from Arizona, mostly JAZZ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ BBC JAZZ http://www.cbc.ca/listen/index.html CBC Radio 2, JAZZ M-F 10PM Midnight EST http://www.kntu.unt.edu/ North Texas Radio http://www.bluenote.com/radio.asp www.kcsm.org Jazz http://www.kmhd.org Jazz & Blues http://www.wrti.org/ Jazz 6PM 6AM, classical 6AM 6PM http://www.jazzandblues.org/listen/links/kkjz1.pls www.wdcb.org 6AM - 6PM Mon-Fri and 9AM - 10PM Sun www.wbez.com 8PM - 4AM Mon-Fri and Noon - 3PM Sundays http://www.radioparadise.com.

  12. Unless you have the inclination, time and ability to do the work yourself, the advice regarding a rebuilt unit is well taken. Furthermore, Craig's technical expertise and ability are unquestioned. You would eliminate many unknowns by having him go through an amp you locate or getting one directly from him, or elsewhere, that he has already resurrected.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Be patient, he will eventually reply to your emails and/or phone calls.
  13. It's a Rover originally designed by GM and first used in 1961 Buick Specials, Pontiac Tempests and Olds F-85s. The Rotus in my avatar has a 1963 Buick Skylark 3.5 litre aluminum V-8, the precursor to the engine shown.
  14. Studebaker Avanti. It looks something like the attached, only much cleaner and with a second 4bbl. Didn't Wilbur drive an Avanti? And, didn't he use a Studebaker Lark wagon to pull Mr. Ed's trailer?
  15. DIY horn loaded speakers in the Klipsch style. Without the economic and production compromises that went into original Klipsch Heritage, it's not difficult to make improvements on the already excellent concepts.
  16. Glad to keep it in the family. In this case, the lurker risk seemed less a problem than not alerting the Forum to its availability. Let us know how it works. I've attached a PDF of the service manual.

  18. Despite having purchased a 730, two 430s and a 630 (junk returned to seller) , I've got no personal experience or opinion regarding the phono sections. My vinyl days are long gone, as is my AR TT w/SME arm, and I've no desire to go down that road again. Other Forum regulars, including HDBRbuiler and Colterphoto1, would comment favorably (I believe) and from personal experience. I'm surprised that the 730 is still available at 2:04 PM EST with a BIN of $85.
  19. If youre looking for a H/K 730, this might be one to get using BIN.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> EDIT @ 8:01 EST. GONE to Robster! Harman/Kardon 730 Receiver $85.00 BIN or Harman Kardon 430 Stereo Power Amplifier Receiver Is a new listing.
  20. Shirley . . . you jest Jacksonbart.
  21. I guess you weren't tired with a sore back in '83 . . . but wait . . . if he was born in February during the blizzard of '83, was it snowing in June of '82? Maybe it rained real hard.Happy Birthday to your son!
  22. You got it!! The venerable Toyota pushrod V-8. .... Interesting technology. Rick Rick- Carbureted and pushrod. .. . . technology and NASCAR Isnt that an oxymoron?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I loved watching Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon wrestle sprint cars around the high dirt banks of Eldora (now owned by Tony Stewart) with lots of slip slidin and passing, or the pavement at IRP. Ive yet to watch a NASCAR parade from flag to flag. Sprint cars on dirt aint high tech but it's fun to watch. Formula One is high tech but it's a parade.
  23. Gary- In suburban Detroit we've had very little snow all year. When I spent a winter in Annapolis, 2" of snow would paralyze the area, what 22" would cause in that area is beyond my comprehension. Take it easy. Nothing will be open. Stay home and listen to music.
