Hi Mike: It's good hear from you. My day job had been tough - spending more time out of town than ever but I still find time to play music. I got into collecting and playing with R2R machines lately. It's bee a lot of fun. Hope you are doing well also. Ki

Thanks for your kind words, James. It was my pleasure to deal with you. Hope the TD124 gets to play many more LPs than it had done at my house. Ki

Hi Don: What did you use for the three-way electronic Xover? Thanks, Ki

Thanks Pat for the info. It seem I can get one pair of Jub bass bins for $4600 from Klipsch directly. I'll do a pre-summer sale of some of my audio toys and get them eventually. Ki

Tried many electronic crossovers - Bryston 10B, 10B sub, and others. But to my ears, the HSU Research High-End Electronics Crossover (~$450 list) to be the most transparent. It also has slight bass EQ around 40 to 50Hz to overcome my room suck-out in the region. The Hsu markets their own crossover modules up to 150Hz for use with their subs but the design can support up to ~800Hz (Jubilee...someday.;-)) in two way set up. I will post some photos hopefuly over the weekend. Ki

Hi James: Here are some photos that were taken about 6 months ago. I bought the turntable from an audiophile who had replaced the old parts and made a homemade plinth...that probably needs to be replace with more substantial one. Only other things I noticed were the bubble level is dried out, some paint had come off under the speed selector, and other usual stuff for such vintage gears. The arm is SME 3009 and the board is solid walnut. He kept the cartridge and I had installed an old Stanton cartridge

One of the most satisfying bass I have ever had in my room was when I used the Khorn bass bins as subs with 51Hz LP electronics crossover and 200W SS amps to play on top of the full range B&W N800s. The set up really showed what it means to have full range bass along with pant-leg-flapping boogie factor... Now, I will be trying the same crossover LP at 390Hz to drive the Khorn bass bins and HP at 390Hz (24dB/Oct) feeding the exsiting BEC AA for the ALK Trachorn mids and CP-25 tweeters. I will

Hi Frank: You probably have already found your turntable. However, if not... I have a Thorens TD160 with all original arm, etc. (but with damaged dustcover) I believe it has a lowly Stanton cartridge to prove the turntable works.. Or, if someone else in the Seattle area would be interested, please let me know. Thanks, Ki

Hi James: I have one for sale that had been restored by the previous owner. I will post some photos when I get home. You can private email me at kichoi@alumni.duke.edu Thanks, Ki

Has the baby cheek orientation when mounting the JBL 2404 or CP-25 been discussed? ALK's photo shows the cheeks oriented vertically with one cheek on top and the other on the bottom. However, I see JBL speaker photos show the cheeks mounted horizontally, one on left and one on right. I would assume to follow the trachorn configuration for sound dispersion, the horizontal mounting of the cheeks is more apporpriate. Thanks, Ki
