could u let us know the name of the track

😊a friend has them and they really are amazing but you need a large room. They are huge! Aesthetically I think they are the least nice to look at in the Klipsch line. The bottom half look like something a friend made in shop class.

Sound aside, and speaking strictly from a design ascetic, McIntosh somehow de-evolved to become the white patent leather loafer and matching belt ensemble you might have spotted on any number of country club members dining at the grill in the late 70s. Surely one can spend as much, sound at least as good, and not end up looking quite so dated (and ostentatious). I suggest McIntosh take a design cue from Hal--one can never go wrong with that understated, monochromatic look he pulls off so effortlessly!

Great video, SkyFi Audio!...What McIntosh amp will work well with KEF R11 speakers?

remarks about the weight of the head shell seems off. Cartridges have varying weight, and the compliance of the needle factors into it too.

Thank you for this, the price is interesting but I do love Technics devices.

Laughable, get good recording equipment, they all sound the same

I have Linn Klimax 350 speakers, please help me choose what McIntosh amplifier will be best possible paired with them. Thank you kindly.

Those machines give me butterflies 😍

I'll take my $400 mint condition fully automatic SL-1600 MK2 any day over this overpriced stuff. And nowhere could I find a Rumble spec for this 1000R. I could for all the others. So what are they hiding?

You can lock the lights on by twisting the button to the direction pointed by the arrow on the panel ;)

"..and be able to charge so little for it."

As long as it's performing and you are getting your money 's worth.

1-Jubilee, 2-LaScala...

cornwall 2 any good...is it better than Tannoy Berkeley mk2

To say 'we don't need the speed controller' we need to remember why it's there in the first place. Do people know the history of a Technics 1200 deck and who uses them the most and the reasons why?

Gotta admit, The Jubilee takes 1st place, but then again, it's in a finished environment. As for my favorite pair, I have to go with the Cornwall's. They handle the lower frequencies with more authority. Each model has it's strengths, the Cornwall just ticks more boxes for me.

RUclips turned into themtube. Shame on youtube

Why is it that no one plays something similar to Joe Walsh's creations or or something to the order of Emerson lake and Palmer the first four albums when auditioning the heritage series speakers that would certainly help to know because then you would know how to do in deep and punching the bass might be.. you can't really tell on music you've never heard before unfamiliar with or don't like... In 2022 2023 and in 2024 it is very difficult define a retailer with a pair of forties or cornwall's to audition in this day and age..

Today's market offers plenty of such exorbitant priced pieces of audio gear. Does it sound good? Of course it does, and it better be for 17k. Can you get 70-80% (maybe even a bit more) of that in a humanly available priced of let's say 500-1500$ cartridge? I'm pretty convinced that you can. As long as there are buyers out there, they will keep comming out with such very expensive pieces. In the end, us the consumers are the direct beneficiary of this evolution, even though most of the times at overpriced points :) . love your videos, such a nice vibe and always useful information.

Why miss the pearl? How does the Linn Adikt compare to these cartridges?

where can you buy new grills for La scalas

When I was in college, LSU, mid '70's, LSU Tiger football stadium was also a dorm, the ceilings in the dorm rooms was the stadium steps and it was not air-conditioned. So in the Louisiana fall heat, when we would stand in line waiting to get into the football games, all of the dorm windows were open, the residents were drunk as shit, smell of weed coming out the windows along with the stereo sounds, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker....Saw a lot of Klipsch speakers in the windows.

Cornwalls and Fortes for me.

The whole package is very cool. How much did you end up selling it for? No video on the back! 😔

you cannot eval those larger speakrs in that space

The QA version is even better great cd player

La Scala by a mile! Followed by the Klipschorn, then the Jubilees.

Which BMW is on your lift & how often does it get into the wild ? 😅

La Scala sounded best to me

I liked the Cornwall and the Forte the most out of the group.

It amazes me that you keep putting Cornwalls down for a speaker that is more than twice the cost......We know, you like La Scala speakers better

One thing you can do with these and the right turntable is make a half-speed mastered vinyl copy! If you have a perfect vinyl copy... And want to make that one perfect vinyl transfer... doing this at half speed will get you the best result you've ever heard from vinyl. For instance, there are some transients in vinyl. That really can't be reproduced at full speed! The pressing machine can make these sounds... But they are sounds that cannot be physically reproduced fully. There used to be the test of all great turntables, the cannons firing in the 1812 Overture. Most turntables couldn't track it. It was a ridiculous and huge groove with a nearly lateral-looking transient you could see with the naked eye! There were some turntables that could reproduce this with some tweaking, but not many. And those that could, had the problem of overmodulating every piece of gear in their system! But if you were to record this at half speed, It would be easy to track and you would get the entire signal with no tracking errors. And every vinyl disk has this potential for tracking problems on a smaller level, but also to have them eliminated through this method.

Those holes in the wood for the main subwoofer look scary. Looks like things might get loose in short order. They all look “broken” and not very strong.

Very interesting demo. I played this loud on my Khorns I bought back in 1978. I really enjoyed the bass response on the Jubilees, maybe a bit overly emphasized, but hey. The LaScalas as always were crystal clear surgically precise. The Khorns sounded a bit bright, probably because they were not in corners. The Cornwalls a bit less defined on the bass. Great choice of source for the demo!

I loved your review of all the technical differences between the SL1000R and 1200G but I was looking forward to your assessment of how all these differences impacted the sound between the two units. Does the SL1000R sound night and day better than the 1200G and in what ways does it sound different? Also you mentioned installing cartridges provided by customers. Do you do the same for tonearms? I did learn a lot from your review. You cover things I’ve never seen anybody else mention. Nice work!

Wofür denn der Riemenantrieb für die großen Spulen? Der Außenbordmotor "QGB" hat doch eigene Motore ! Und: Für Musik-Aufnahmen ist die NAGRA IV-S besser, die NAGRA IV-SJ ist für Meßzwecke gedacht.

We are all audiophiles in our unique way.

I like pitch controls.

For me too, the LaScalas sounded the best to me.

After a year, I hope you've turned enough inventory to make the investment in demo's and stock to make it worthwhile. That's a lot of capital investment.

Urushi system was gorgeous to look !

I have this very CDP-101. I am having issues and it is not working properly. Would you be willing to service it? I could send it in to you. I have the original box and all. It was a rare NOS type unit. Would really love your expertise. Everyone here locally did not want to work or know how to work on it. Thank you!

The Reloop Turn 5 does away with the slider but keeps the strobe and Technics type platter. So, yes you don't have to give up both...

IMO those strobe light markings cheapen the look of the 'table.

Thank you from an engineer of the 50s from Patagonia Argentina

Problems... 1st Reflections...Right Speaker next to a glass door. Tv between speakers. Why would you even think about ridiculously priced kimber, considering previous points? Poor advice.

End game turntable.

how can one tell the difference between a 4 track machine and a two track machine? in other words, a machine that either record 2 stereo tracks, or 4 mono tracks.... I think they are referred to as either 1/2 or 1/4 machines?
