| Tube el34 Let's see- You're comparing an amp that was introduced around 1960, and rated at 35WPC(actually more like 17WPC in reality) with one that came out in 1974, sporting 75WPC. Gee- I'm amazed that there was such a difference in their performance!! The... | |

| Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex Fabric and upholstery shops generally carry the stuff, as it's used in pillows, quilts, etc. Glad that it worked for you. Happy listening! | |
| Tube Amp Noise with Klipsch Cornwall II Just get some small signal tubes that are graded low noise(even if they are cheap ones), and see if that doesn't ameliorate the problem. If your sources are not tubed, chances are they are not generating any hiss. | |
| Tube Amp Noise with Klipsch Cornwall II The horns that Klipsch used are brutally efficient/bright, and any noise upstream(like the preamp section of the integrated) will be brought out without mercy. Replace the small signal tubes with "Platinum Graded" ones from Upscale Audio, ie: the ... | |

| Vibrating Woofer, old tubes? If I'm not mistaken; that unit is 15 to 18 years old(at least). Probably time to have the dual mono power supply filter caps replaced. | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... You won't be hurting anyone but yourself, in having ripped yourself off for the musical rewards. Even the better recording studios have discovered the audible benefits of upgrading power cords/cables in the recording/mastering chain. I suppose tha... | |
