Using time machine?

Contacted Michael Cites today about fabric for my grills and gaskets for the mids. Once i get the reply and order confirmation i will pull the Es apart and start renovating. The grills will be fixed with magnets and i will refresh the verneer after sanding it down lightly, when the new coats of oil are dry and i´m sure colors are permanent i will also touch up the chipped verneer with furniture wax. The black areas in front and back will get a new coat of structured paint.

Great You found a spare on ebay! Maybe update to a bigger KG? I think they are great speakers.

Ask Michael Crites at: https://critesspeakers.com/ He offers these sealing rings. Welcome to the Forum! -
Klipsch KG4's have been living a lie for 36 years!
AndreG. replied to Charbs's topic in General Klipsch Info
People make mistakes, even at Klipsch. Who would´ve thought You´d discover it after living with them all these years. Welcome to the forum! These are copies on ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/150494161745?hash=item230a26ab51:g:T~oAAOSwoydWqBd~ -
Well, i gues the best option would be Crites. Ask what price a single XO would be. A pair is close to 200$, so maybe about 100$.

I forgot the Crites family, they sell new XOs. Although Bob Crites, the founder, passed recently, his son Michael carries on the torch. After Klipsch, they are the ones to turn to if you need spares or repairs and tips. Mail them: https://critesspeakers.com/

Welcome to the forum! I asume "broken" as not working anymore. Have You checked eBay? Often parts turn up there. If You are handy with electronic repairs, just try to bridge broken conductor traces on your board. You can also look at the sales section of this forum, maybe a member is selling the part You need.

Welcome to the forum! If You posted some pictures the guys can help you better with that identification. Usually the serieals are stenciled into the wood on the backside of the cabinets.

@murad I bought these connectors for my Heresy E, which have the same terminals as Your Cornwall and they work well.

I' not sure how much soldering you have to do on the Nixie as all resistors are SMD, as an amateur these are hard to solder. You probably just assemble greater components.

The vita says that the owner of the page designed this amp and other gear himself. He´s an engineer and musician. He dosen´t reveal where he has his kit-parts produced. So you could say it´s "Made in Germany".
-
Thanks! As always, it´s a matter of how much money you want/ can spend. Let´s see if more suggestions turn up.

This is a DIY alternative, maybe: https://getaudio.eu/en/elekit-tu-8100-pcl86-single-stereo-tube-amplifier-diy-kit/ Two watts is barely adequate for the Heresy?
-
Yep, price doubles for us...

I was about to pull the trigger as well, but then thought it through once more and customs charges could be quite painful here in Germany. I will finish refurbishing my Heresies first and then maybe go down tube alley. Had a look at the DIY kits on Cube Depot, one can get those in Europe as well, also worth pondering.

This is what Steve Guttenberg "The Audiophilliac" has to say about the Tube Cube 7/ Miniwatt N3:

Had the CD-box in the mail today, used – the case is a bit battered but the discs themselves are fine. Great music, recording sounds even better on my big system. Thanks for another great suggestion George! @MicroMara and @Shiva for first posting. Next week i´ll order the live-recording of the concert in Royal Albert Hall.

You wouldn´t, i couldn´t.

Watches, like so many other things, are a matter of taste.... I never liked the looks of Rolex very much, if i had the money to spend, i´d go for a Breitling, the Old Navitimer in particular. Still, it´s a good investment, always a "penny for lean times".

Update to my previous post. I set up two 140mm fans & thermo-switch on my Marantz AVR. Each fan has a switch with four settings off/low/medium/high, a USB plug with some length of cabe and a usb receptacle. Fans are connected to one another and then to the thermal switch. The switch has thermo-lead for temperature measuring wich goes onto your receiver, into your rack, ect., i opened the casing of my AVR and put it in above the heatsink. Power is supplied to the thermal; as my receiver has no USB on the back, i feed power from an external USB-charger. The thermal switch has no speed-stepping, it´s on or off. You set the fan-speed with their individual switches, so the thermal saves you the hassle of switching on and off, wich i find convinient. I have my fans on the medium setting, sitting approx. 3 meters from my AVR spinning noise almost non existent. I hope this helps people who think about a similar purchase.

Has anybody paired the Tubecube with a Schiit Loki for tone control yet?

No problem, it´s an open shelves rack, lots of air.
