Docsalvage Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi. I have an original 'Dope from Hope' packet. Volume 1 through volume 16, so from about 1978. What should I do with it? Can I send (donate) to the Hope AR museum? Or, any better ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 In Vol. 8, #1, July11, 1967,in the last paragraph, Paul Klipsch identifies the problem that has persisted with RCA line level connectors, that still exist today. Namely that the ground is disconnected before the hot, which puts out a square wave that acts like a hammer blow to all the voice coils, almost guaranteeing failure in the most fragile voice coil...........the tweeter. I believe this was the main reason that the AA network was created with back to back Zener diodes to prevent K77 replacments. When I was in PWK's home in 1985, he walked into the back of his equipment closet and started unpluggin and plugging in RCA connector to swap out some inputs. There were some squeals to be heard fromthis process theough his Khorns and Center Belle. But the funniest part was PWK swearing about it the whole time %$#@$#%!%%$#@%$@%$. Quite a funny memory for me when I was still a kid paying a visit to his idol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent T Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I really appreciate this effort to post the Dope From Hope literature. In short, an amazing amount of PWK thoughts and engineering theory explained well. I regard this series as a short course in audio engineering and in Klipsch knowledge. Very useful, and applicable even now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
