    @AndreG. you just keep on sliding through here spouting off classic albums that I think don't get enough attention! Lots bring back  great memories that take me away from the present! "Sucks to be me"

     

    Lots were sure important to me as my mother was a musician and gave her opinions about some of those being talented as she heard in her home. Her being acclaimed by her professors and the likes of Loonis McGlohon, Fleet Green and other seemingly more important (church) classically trained piano musicians that I can not even remember now. I met Mr Green before he knew who I was `cause I was first string clarinet then. Bought it at his music shop on South B near me. The guy from the Cajun Queen plus the Dr who's Myers Park home we (watched over when they were gone) swam in that long slim deep marble pool we swam in every summer.

     

    Cheers and thank you man!

    Steely Dan, Donald Fagen and Spyro Gyra, I discovered them a while ago, just starting to collect albums now in Black and Silver.

    I just finally picked up a pair of Heresy 1 from 1981, seem to be in great condition!   Everything is bright inside and no leaks that I can see from the capacitors, so I will leave it original.  Sounds good with my home baked EL34 single ended triode, plenty of bass for my kind of music.  About 15 years ago I missed a pair of beaten up HIP in a thrift store (junk shop), by the time I found out what they were and went back, the speakers were gone.  I have been interested every since, especially after building the SET amp 10 years ago.  They weren't cheap, they are expensive in Japan where I live.  I was surprised how thin and resonant the back panels are, and these have a volume pot on the back, is that standard?  I have gotten some good information from you folks already, thank you!  I will steam clean the screens soon.

    Welcome to the Forum! Many owners think the same as You do and modify the back-panel, it´s a simple thing to do, and, as being able to spy from Your pictures, you seem to own a nice shop/man-cave to get the work done.

    Some people put in an attenuator to dampen the K77 tweeter, feeling it to harsh.

    That one's a little treasure.

    Happen to think all of his early 70s work with Bernie is Fantastic!!

    Yeah, I didn´t pay him much attention... until I heard some of his early stuff here. Next is Tumbleweed Connection.
