I need to have this image of his blown up and hang in my listening space, pretty much sums up the current craze methinks.....

I have always liked his art work, think I first started reading Zap comics in the early '70's when I was going to CU in Boulder CO. Fritz the Cat was one of my early "role models" .... :yikes: In The R. Crumb Handbook (1998) he wrote about The Search For Old Music: “I was an eccentric kid...

A customer brought this to the store one day, do not even remember who. Yazoo records site: The songs were recorded between 1928 and 1935, during the peak years of good blues, gospel and ragtime recordings! Just checked, some of this is on YouTube. Go figure. :banana: This is a Robert Crumb...

Ditto - Ditto, Classic LP predating the Fleetwood Mac years for these two. Had a copy at the store years ago,great demo LP. Somehow that one got left behind (I did manage to run off with most of the Mo Fi's and Direct to Disks LPs and most classics when I sold). I just lost an auction on fleabay...

Ahhh... so you are a drummer. That helps explain your affection for the CF-4's, 'cuz drum reproductions are fuggin' incredible on those Klipsch. I was spinning Lee Ritenour's '78 JVC direct to disk 'Friendship' Japanese LP pressing yesterday afternoon and had forgotten how good the drum solos...

Horns have been around in many different iterations for decades. Anyone remember the Leslie pro speaker gear with the spinning horns at the top of the cabinet? Had a downward firing woofer. They were used first in organ playback (I seem to remember them being sold or manufactured by Hammond...

These guys were soldering almost nothing. They were using telco wirewrap guns on almost all connections. Farkin' amazing for the times.

Unfortunately I seem to have been around the block so many times the sidewalk is wearing thin... :biggrin: I first met Robert Rann from Soundcraftsmen at (if I remember correctly) Atlantic Stereo in Santa Anna CA in like 1976 or so. He took me to the Soundcraftsmen plant the next day. These...

I have not. Bought mine new in the box in 1996, and never found enough of a deficiency to warrant meddling. Am interested in seeing the results of your upgrades. I have tried almost every conceivable 'external' option, bi-amping, bi-wiring, solid state, tubes, and probably a few hamster wheels...

Smack on. Bullseye. Reading your post made me think it was something I wrote, lol. I have been extolling the virtues of these Klipsch towers for years, the dimensions of the soundstage and the lifelike quality of their presentation has me smiling everytime I sit and listen. I have had friends...

Just a side note, get your seating position on an even level with the horns and your ears These Klipsch have a very definite sweet spot, but get your placement right and you will hear Buddy Guy burp. He used to bring in a 2x4 to set on the floor during recording sessions to tap his foot on...

Nice score. I own the Epic CF-3s, ver 2. Short 2.5 in ports and 'monster cable type' clear copper internal wiring. Sounds like yours are ver 3s. That said, I completely agree with your assessment of the sound stage. Farkin' uncanny, throw the instruments all around the room. I picked mine up...

Interesting thread, this. Nice to be seeing where we are all hearing…. Been away from posting here for awhile, although I read the forums several times a month (his site is akin to a secret Masons organization for members who would rather buy licorice pizza than edible food…). Bought a new...

Ever tried Cabo Wabo tequila? Anthony Dias Blue of Bon Appetit magazine named Cabo Wabo one of the "Top Three Tequilas in the World", and The Rolling Stones carried off more than 12 cases after their Hawaiian tour. (Do we need more endorsement than that?) Great Straight! (or not) Sammy Hagar...

Finally had an opportunity to read this thread, I do tech support these days for Law Enforcement, county level, and it has been a bit busy. I only mention this as police officers are very much cigar lovers. If you hit one of the smoke shops in town during a promotional event it is tough to find...

These are very different times. Our bread and butter customers were the ski patrol guys, construction workers, carpet layers and local craftsmen. We sold a few systems to out of town trust fund babies who were using their dad’s AMEX to load up the vacation condo, but that was not our real...

I’ve always had a suspicion that when Freud proclaimed “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” he was being a bit facetious. His peers were making the assumption that as Freud’s basic tenets were that conscious actions were largely a cover for ones unconscious aims, then his predilection for a good...

I could not agree more. IMHO I think we cross a threshold when we realize it is a quest. We get exposed to the possibility that we can have more. None of us start where we end up in life. Same goes for our systems. We are tinkerers. We start takings thing apart and looking for information...

OK. Full disclosure here. I am not a psychologist (but I played one once in a porno movie :)). I am however, an Audiophile. I have been contemplating that label for over 20 years. Ernest Hemmingway once said “Write drunk – edit sober”. I seem to uncannily adhere to this discipline. Go figure...

One of our competitors sold Bose, so we aggressively sold against the whole concept of a funny looking box hanging from the ceiling with a bunch of 4" drivers (901s). But we were a bunch of JBL and ADS snobs back then. I bought a pair of the 601s (do not remember the version. Circa 1979) from...

I always wanted to be a ' conductor'....:banana:

It probably will sound better. To the fish...

Luvvinvinyl's point on 'zeroing' the arm is the first place I would look. If your nuetral balance is not set, no amount of tracking force is really measurable.

Damn. Now I have to make "ANOTHER" update to my bucket list. Vintage Mac gear. Does not get much better than that. Be careful, wouldn't want to open up a worm hole in the space time continuum. You might be close.....:beerchug:

The linkage is under the table, take a look under there and it will be obvious. Yes u need to remove thr head shell to clean the contacts there. But that is not the problem you are having. I do not recall the switch placement below off the top of my head. But check the service manual. I would...
