Happy ironic 64th Sir Paul! And happy 4th AK! (Interesting coincidence.)

KG-3s & 4s vs Cornwalls I began collecting Klipsch with a pair of KG-4s then got a deal on a pair of KG-3s. I was surprised how close the KG-3s came to the KG-4s. When I A/Bed them there was a difference but not much. The KG-3s actually have a slight edge in bass specs although the KG-4s...

Update I'm on my second round of deodorization. I used 'Gunk Cutter' first and then 'Murphy's Oil Soap' on the painted surfaces. I used 'Smoke Eliminator' on the unfinished, interior surfaces. And I used liberal amounts of 'Febreeze' on the interior sound insulation. At first it smelled...

Thanks, folks, for all the suggestions. I do plan on asking her to marry me. I went to my best friend's wedding today and it didn't look too painful. I have nothing against improving their appearance. But shouldn't black minimize their size? I'd be nervous about my first veneer job...

Not an option. Girlfriend of 9 years - best thing that ever happened to me. Her response in an abberation, which is why I suspect there is something provoking about my big, black, stinky speakers. Doucanoe, you're probably on the right track but I think it's a specific piece of jewelry she...

I have been bringing home the odd piece of vintage hi-fi for the past 8 months with very little comment from my girlfriend. She even made some positive comments about the look of my main set-up in our finished basement "Chautauqua Room". She has seemed happy that my new hobby was making me...

Ashly PQX-572 parametric equalizer. Not technically Hi-Fi but left over from my home studio days and currently in the signal chain with a Kenwood KR-9400 and Klipsch KG-4's. I use it to take some of the "bite" out of the Klipsch's horns. When I bought it I had several phone conversations...

Me Too Hey, I just got my KR-9400 back from my tech yesterday, too! I paid a bit more for mine but it only had a few burnt out bulbs to replace. I got mine to replace a KR-8050 which was diagnosed with a probable bad IC in the tuner. (I'm considering using the 8050 as a guinea pig to see if I...

His name is Lyndon Lyndon is more of a follower. But he does have a unique view.

Minidisc Recorder Raplaced My Camera I used to take pictures obsessively before digital photography came along. Then I was listening to old cassette tapes I made in my basement during some high school parties and I realized how much better a sound recording is for capturing the emotion and the...

Kr-7400 I've recently acquired a KR-7400 which I've been using frequently. I especially like the FM tuner. It has 2 dual-gate MOSFETs in the RF stage but no narrow setting. 63 watts - perfect for a townhouse. See attachment.

I wish I had some spare cash floating around to add these to my collection of Klipsch: <http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/ele/136851410.html> I've never heard Cornwalls but I understand they're pretty good.

KR-7400 Seems O.K. Retrieved my receiver yesterday and immediately hooked it up. It has been functioning flawlessly since then for quite a number of hours. This has been my first chance to listen for extended periods to both the 7400 and the Klipsch KG-3s (thanks to the foot of snow that fell...

I haven't had mine that long but I've been enjoying them. The downside: now I can hear my system's shortcomings. The cartridge in my turntable seems to be my weakest link. CDs and Mini-Discs sound very good through them. I also just acquired a pair of KG-3s which, despite their smaller size...

KR-7400 Update I heard back from the shop today. I knew it...they couldn't find anything wrong. I mentioned jpdylon's suggestion about the low-filter switch and they agreed to reclean all the switches. I said I take it back and give it another listen. I supposed it could be an intermittent...

Hello folks, I’m fairly new to the world of “vintage” audio. Being 42, I have vague memories from the 70’s of some of my friends having much nicer stereos than I could afford. I have a distinct memory of my hearing Boston on my cousin Tim’s beautiful Marantz system and being duly envious...
