I have a set of NOS Klipsch K-43s (cast basket) in boxes...pm me if interested.

What cartridge(s) you planning to run on it? high compliance, low compliance? I use this tool to assist the matchup to find the right pairing: https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.php

Double checking how to connect speakers
hanksjim1 replied to Jeff Matthews's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
on the input: Red (#2) to + from your receiver/amp and black (#1) to - from your receiver/amp. Right or left channel depending on which speaker is connected to the xover network in question. Both xovers should be identical. -
Although these don't come up for sale often, I have had really good results with a used 100 watt/ch Emerald Physics 100.2SE on Khorns, LaScalas and Heresy speakers. RCA and balanced XLR inputs, bridgeable mono switch...dead quiet and velvet smooth. Here's a typical price: https://reverb.com/item/62529416-emerald-physics-100-2se-stereo-power-amplifier

Forte 1 as a center speakers for Khorns
hanksjim1 replied to Martin O'Neill's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I have read lot about using a center speaker with Khorns. I am still confused whether there is a different recommendation (speaker and/or center channel signal propagation) for music versus HT? Is PWK's L & R channel "summing" better for music versus center channel produced under 5.1/7.1 etc. home theater processor? I am only really interested in music. What are folks using for the center channel source (I will be using an LS center)? -
Need Help: Decware + La Scala or KHorns

florescent lights? -
Intentional...

Believe it or not, that one also sounds fantastic with the old Shure V15 type IV too (no step up required; I also have had good luck with the Bottlehead Seduction phono stage)

Don't have any experience with that cartridge, but here's a good multi post discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the rega tt/ania combo: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/hana-sl-cured-my-rega-ania-blues.782614/ I must say your "ancillary" equipment (LS, QS, Bottlehead, etc.) should go a long way to bringing out the best in any cartridge.

I have seen some interest on the forum in an entry level 300b amp. No affiliation. Includes some good tubes for swapping around: https://skagit.craigslist.org/ele/d/oak-harbor-wilsenton-r300-set/7704116602.html

I will point out what you already know; The variables in sound depending on the combinations really require the ability to try out a prospective preamp with the ability to return after careful listening over several days. I have a 300b PP and a set of EL34 SETs. I have had excellent results with passive preamps, tubes and SS preamps with both; all very different sounding. All sounding better than using just my Benchmark DAC volume control, even given the shorter signal path. Just my 2 cents worth. Here's a link to a very nice passive preamp that won't set you back a lot of $: https://luminousaudio.com/collections/axiom-ii-passive-preamp

Here's a link to a set in Seattle from a very reputable seller, if anyone is interested... https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/ele/d/renton-6c33b-set-tube-amplifier/7700350408.html

Balanced vs. Coaxial Interconnects
hanksjim1 replied to The History Kid's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
anxious to see what others say as I am unfamiliar personally with the components...that being said, why not run coax out (digital) to the parasound and xlr to the yamaha? Direct signal to both. -
loose crossover wire? loosen each and re-tighten.

These are pretty highly regarded (at least there is a "best offer" option...lol): https://www.ebay.com/itm/304760675395?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=304760675395&targetid=4580428016871206&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=603247657&mkgroupid=1229254994528356&rlsatarget=pla-4580428016871206&abcId=9316139&merchantid=51291&msclkid=464e725aabb414cad18817c9ac1a292e

Anyone here know anything about Bozak B-4000
hanksjim1 replied to dkalsi's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
@Cher Probably best to post in "garage sale" area on the forum... Here's a few pics for those that are unfamiliar One interesting note...the drivers are all Bozak proprietary and very interesting construction techniques for the day...Rudy Bozak was a contemporary to Paul Klipsch...although maybe had different design philosophies...LOL -
Probably a better question for the Lansing Heritage site: https://www.audioheritage.org
