amped

Not sure if stacked or not. Same for the 6uF. I'll have a look. Thanks for the glue and cap orientation tips. I'll post pix when I get it done.

I guess that's what makes them klipsch factory approved...🙄

I got my "klipsch genuine capacitors" from GEM and they are all axials. Thank you Deang for the workaround. Is there a best way to glue these down (Mine are for Chorus 2's)? I got the marine goop you recommended somewhere else. Even though these are non-polarized, is there and ideal way to install (locate outer foil) and it's direction in the signal path? I only have an regular digital meter. Thanks

"How do they sound?" A little crunchy 'til I broke 'em in...

I had a set of these once. I put sno-caps in ‘em and they really opened up

I'll agree with tigerhorn- Citizen is a good compilation. It's out of stock at Amazon but listed for $37 and change. It's well done. I have Aja (remastered and excellent) and Pretzel Logic (used and crackly) on vinyl. Gaucho on CD. Saw them play Gaucho just before the plague got loose. They were doing an album a night+ They were great of course but sadly without Walter. There's a lot of info out there on all of the different pressings.

Don't know if I'll hear a difference but copper is a great conductor and gold doesn't tarnish. Every little bit helps. I'm sure they're connecting to gold plated steel or brass in the amp and speakers. Why add to that? Not a lot of $$ more. I paid more in shipping getting these things from the UK but I couldn't find them here. Spent tons of time trying to decipher the descriptions on amazon and it seems like none were what I wanted. I would've gotten them made by BJC but don't love their connectors.

"I spent several hours on hold today..." IIRC I got through via the Klipsch Support chat. Once all was good, I think they called me for payment, etc. Make sure you take pix of the labels, etc. This was for Chorus 2 parts. I don't have Fortes but thought the upgrade wasn't available yet.

I made these with: Belden 5T00P 10awg (from BlueJeans Cable), the BFA's from Compass Audio (MicroMara linked), gold plated copper spades from HiFi Collective. I wanted soldered connections w/ gold over copper. Most are over brass. The blue heat shrink is so I know my left from my right behind the amp. BTW, these BFA terminals were super tight so that's not a worry...

that hoss-fly would come in handy about now- like a heated massage chair with a steering wheel

A buddy of mine sent me the pic. Personally I think it's some quick and dirty photoshop looking at the carbs and squashed k&n filters. Of course, if one put their mind to it..?

Here's the "schpeel" from Bklyn... https://brooklynsolarworks.com/cost-of-solar-panels-in-nyc/

Most of you know most of this but good that it's getting out there...

These have motors-https://www.tata.com/business/jlr

For what it's worth, I will be going through my Chorus 2's soon and got in touch with Klipsch. Nick was very helpful. I sent some requested pics and he got the ok from the Heritage Dept and Andrea had some new gaskets sent to me within about 5 days. They didn't have everything but sent what they had for my 1994 speakers. I thought I was very well taken care of.

Best of both worlds-

Mine was identical to the one in the pic (not mine) when I bought it. Of course, I shortened the turn signal stalks, got lower bars, chambers, k&n's, big coils, etc, and ported and polished the jugs in my high school marine mechanics class. My bud's blue RD had DG pipes and the gold finned heads. Alas, I broke an ankle in a crash and eventually sold it to a friend. My friend w/ the Daytonas had a GS1100 that he raced. I was part of the pit crew in the early 80's. I once rode it on the track at Daytona between races. He raced it there, Moroso in WPB, Texas World, and Road Atlanta. This was when Kevin Schwantz was a young teenager also competing. In high school, one of the older guys had a Honda CBX but due to quaaludes, his gas tank only held about a liter of fuel. You couldn't tell from the great bodywork though... In jr high, I had a Honda trail 70. The kid down the street had a mustard brown Husky 125 and a red KTM 250 powered Rickman. That was cool- the frame was nickel plated. We'd go riding in the mud. The kid across the street had a Benelli Sei and a blue L88 '69 corvette- his dad was a plumber. Those were the days...

They're in an NYC showroom-

I had a white w/ orange stripe RD250 in high school in FL in the late 70's. It had a front disc brake. My best friend had a blue RD400. Another best bud later got a white Kenny Roberts RZ and now has a yellow one. Miss those days...

Hope this doesn't add any concerns but, What's your wall current? It's probably higher than when the amps were made. I use a variac to lower my 119-124 wall current to 117vac. My amp is a VTA ST120 (Dynaco ST 70 improved). Mine is OK up to 120vac but the newer ones are good to about 125. Obviously, your situation may be different but you may want to check...

Have you seen this..? I have no personal experience, btw

I have not been in my c2's but got this image from somewhere on this forum. Hope it helps...
