Meticulous G

Its power on/off/auto switch did get semi broken at some point years ago by a kid being clumsy around it, but that didn't stop it from working normally...it was just stuck in auto mode It wasn't completely in my hands/sight throughout the entire move, but I don't believe anything drastic occurred along the way When I got to the new place & set up, I was hearing a static-y noise through it, like when a volume knob/contact is dirty, but it was happening without me touching anything Having it all hooked up & turned on, yielded no difference, and no performance ...the power indicator light changes from red to green still, but it appears that's just a reaction to whatever creates the static sound I read about (and have always been aware of) having the rca(s) attached to the sub amp plate, but not to the source, and touching the other end of it with a thumb to make the hum sound, as a troubleshooting method For the 1st time ever...that wasn't happening I did remove the plate & do a primary look/poke around & didn't see anything out of the ordinary I havent quite gotten to examining components on the board yet, because I have a nagging feeling it could possibly just be something about the bad switch? ...but am not quite electrical enginner level, even though I've successfully serviced many electronics (mostly pc's, disk readers/players, laptops, & game consoles) so I'm proceeding slowly & cautiously Yes, I believe I can find a replacement amp plate for it, but I'm mostly just trying to solve the mystery of what happened, what changed...aand why Any ideas are appreciated ...thx

Cool, thx...juss wanted to check, before I went all nostalgic & blabbin' That's a verry fond memory, that one. I'm still only 9ft away from them all as I type & they're VERRY near to being in day 1 condition I did have to go right back to the shop with 1 almost immediately, 'cause I blew the basket cover off of 1 ...aand I also, near immediately killed the ksw 15, 'cause the braided leads were a l'il too long & the stuff I was listening to was so aggressive with the bass I actually got them to touch & weld to each other. He said I was the only customer to force klipschs back into his shop He just shortened them up a tad & I never had another problem Haha, I was actually such an "Ithaca hippie" at the time, I didn't even own a car...I just rented them every weekend, when I went out of town & rode a full suspension mtn bike everywhere local. Moving on top of the hill made me beefcake I brought those klf's home in the trunk of a cab, 'cause I wouldn't even wait for my buddy to get out of work

Hmmm...from the context, it looks like TasDom does & treated it like it's a secret 😅 That's why I ask I bought my pair of klf - 10's new, when i was 23 yrs old, at a place in Ithaca NY called Steller Stereo, 1998 after home auditioning the best polks & paradigms I could find ...which were laughably inferior for my needs at the time, aand still would be Iirc, they were $1100 & change out the door, so I'm figuring $499/piece (I actually still have the receipt, not sure if it's readable) which would make each step up, about a couple 100 more, I'd say They were the top model in the shop (aside from the magnetically shielded version, if memory serves which i think added a couple 100, but i definitely wasn't getting black, after seeing that oak...wish I woulda known about the mahogany, I woulda swooned) Had I known about the 20's & 30's...I'm sure I would've gone that route, not that my 10's have ever left me regretting the purchase I also went back and grabbed my ksw - 15 soon after ($750+tax) Haha, I actually called the shop like a decade later, asking if they still carried those subs, 'cause I wanted another one & was hoping the price dropped a l'il, 'cause I had kids making me "unrich" by that point 'ANOTHER ONE" the voice on the phone says "...ohhh, I think I remember you, you're the only person in the history of the shop who asked to hear JUST a sub" I knew I had to move out of my 1st solo apartment, shortly after Thanks for prematurely nudging me into renting my 1st single family dwelling PWK ...aand yes, my neighbors on top of the hill were pissed 😁

Apologies in advance for resurrecting an old/dead post over something so potentially trivial, but I'm brand new here & am curious if there's some rule, or protocol, that kept this from being answered publicly?

Old thread, I know, but I just got here...hi 😁 Being a looong time klf - 10 (light oak) owner/lover/ jammer, I just want to be sure ...you mean beyond the feet/floor spikes, yes?

Aww, very cool. Thx for the awesome share 😊
