pauln Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Never seen one; its part of a family: Models MCZ-2 Aluminium, MCZ-7 Boron, MCZ-10 Ruby and the MCZ-110 Diamond. Each model using a different material for the cantilever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Just an FYI. If you are interested, I have a never used/never been mounted MCZ-7 Boron for sale. I no longer have any of the original packaging that it came in. It has been tucked safely away in a 35mm film canister for many years. It is in perfect shape as far as I can tell. I am the one and only owner and I have had it since they were first made available. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I am very interested... Do you have a price too? There is so little info on all of this, I am looking for us both. Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Search the forum technical questions for MCZ. I posted a scan of the brochure. Unfortunately I've never bothered to learn to make links. You'll see it is a rebrand of a Japanese model. With that info, maybe you can google to more info. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 There was also a Klipsch Turntable. When we were in Hope it was mentioned that it was damaged in the factory museum flood and there are only a couple pieces of it salvaged. I wonder how many were actually made.

IndyKlipschFan Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I talked with Jordan we agreed on a price. Sending $ this weekend. Maybe in a way, one of those collectible Klipsch things a guy just has to have if he is an addict..LOL..( To all things Klipsch.) And one of the few things Colterphoto1 does not have.. na na na na na naaaaaaa LOL J/K Seems like a nice guy too. I was in either Las Vegas for CES or at the summer Chicago CES show, when this was introduced in the mid 80's if I remember. I talked with Paul W Klipsch about it too.. Very cool find.

kaiser SET say Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Just collecting Indy, I heard the Ruby on a Linn table back in 1988 and to say the least it sure sounded fantastic on the Maggies I heard it through[] Think those were driven by some guy named Mac[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Search the forum technical questions for MCZ. I posted a scan of the brochure. Unfortunately I've never bothered to learn to make links. You'll see it is a rebrand of a Japanese model. With that info, maybe you can google to more info. Gil From what I can remember, back in the 70's Klipsch Heritage speakers were being exported to Japan. As part of the deal, Klipsch agreed to sell these Moving Coil cartridges (trade impbalance?). Anyway, when I went to PWK's home in 1985, I was surprised to see an inexpensive Pickering cartridge on his turntable instead of the exotic ones his company was selling. He could tell from the look on my face that I was puzzled by this even though I didn't say anything. He looked at me and said "I only own 1 LP recording." It was in a plain white cover and it was the original Bell Labs Stereo broadcast from 1933!! Otherwise PWK told me he didn't like commercial recordings with multi-mike, mixing boards, etc. "Dilute Stereo" he said. So he played me some wonderful recordings from his Revox reel to reel machine of the Little Rock Symphony featuring guest Benny Goodman on clarinet.j Since he only used 2 spaced omni mikes for his recordings, they had lots of ambience and great perspective geometry. So, he really DID practice what he preached in the Klipsch papers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
