    Hu,

     

    Thank you guys, I would like your opinion, are there any important Miles discs missing that I forgot.


    Here is the list of Miles' albums that I own or that are in my basket awaiting purchase, normally these are the "studio" albums, apart from a few Compilations-Anthologies, such as Bird Of the Cool, Walkin' which are 25cm compiled on 30cm LP, especially at the start of your career! In any case, the rankings vary according to the lists, for example between Discogs and Wiki.


    Those that I have are in grey and I have some in several versions, those in anticipation of purchase or in reflection of purchase are in blue:

  6. Snow is gone , 50F here , strong winds and heavy rain , received a letter from my health insurance today , my rehab will start at feb 12. till march 5th. Looking forward  to that health treatment and trainee as I can´t stand these daily pains anymore, I´m tired to take so much pills against the pain since a couple of month. My Liver will be glad as well 😂

     

    Still having too much problems with my Wlan in that apartment , the providers net isn´t perfect in this part of the city , it´s too slow and takes to much time to load a thread and follow up all posts in the kc. However....I´m with you 🤠

    Your setup is beautiful but I wonder how you could have these in an apartment and not be evicted?  Even in a condo without getting warning letters from the association would be beyond my mind.

    😂 quiet funny ....AH ...they don´t need much power to reproduce a real impressive soundstage and 3 D holographic sound image in your listening room . Normal listening room levels around 70 dBA are fine , but I must admit that I´m a kind of audioholic since my youth , that´s why I have this range of different audio gear .

    What is this VIABLUE?  You have your 7s  biamped?  

    Indeed , the walnut RF 7 II are the most beautiful RF´s ever built by Klipsch . These´re the origins

    Here´s a pic how to unbox them , it´s from the owners manual

     

    rf7iiunboxing.thumb.png.15c87ee0802051c3e6891b7bdc3feb8c.png

     

    The " ViaBlue Terminal is a german one, du to my re-design works it wasn´t possible to use the origin Terminal again.

    ViaBlueTerminal.jpg.0ae86c8307d98159d44b597a8757cf05.jpg

     

    That´s the origin Klipsch

     

    rf7iiterminal.thumb.jpg.e118db7b32f9f4cbdd623edf9131ec22.jpg

     

    And Yes I bi-amp them either with the ss amp, the class D or the tube monos. The best acoustical solution is to use the tube monos for the high pass and the class D for the low pass. That´s ultra stunning

    @Mycuff   Don't worry about a thing with that turntable.  He's got room for ONE more tone arm!  I can't wait.  I KNOW it's gonna happen!  😂

    You see Dave , the problem is  if I gonna do that , how shall I put a disc onto the platter ? 😂 NO, it´s fine like it is ! And I´ve got an option to make a heavy tonearm out of the middel heavy MA 505 , all I need is to use a much heavier headshell than it´s a heavy one , I did that with my AT V7 MM allready beacuse this cart needs a heavy tonearm for optimal scanning

    If you're planning on using the RF-7II's for 2 channel, I'm sure someone out there has a good recommendation for an amp.

    I own a pair of RF7 II in Walnut as well, they´re quiet rare in europe, that´s where I life. I re-designed my RF7 II a bit , optical and technical .  Pics ´re from my previouse apartment.

    other bi wire terminals

    these´re my diy bi wire external x-over

     

    EvoPhase6.8.thumb.jpg.a7cbb21bce73bb19b9da3d44ff54d565.jpg

     

    I have different options to power them up . With a Marantz integrated PM 11-S3 SS , Cayin Tube Monos 929 D, Italien GoldNote M9 Class D Monos and different Pre Amp options as well . With a solid transistor amp they sound very good , with a Class D Solution they sound much better than a transisitor amp, they´ll shot you into heaven using a tube solution , should have approx. 50 W /8 Ohm , maybe a KT 88 Amp integrated or tube pre and power stage like I have as well. But it´s w/out using the RC 64 Center , so a multichannel solution requires another amp. But I don´t want forget to mention that the origin RF7 II have a great soundstage even w/out the center speaker .
