Are my speakers destroyed?
Here's what I think is the general consensus on HiFi two channel speaker classifications and associated costs. It seems relevant considering some of the prior posts in this thread: Entry Level $500 to $2,000 Mid Level $2,000 to $5,000 Hi End $5,000 to $15,000 Ultra High End > $15,000. And there... -
Second Amp for HD650

6BL7 Tubes?
While not a common tube, I have read that this tube will work well in many designs. The problem of course is the limited supply of good NOS American made tubes.- peter_josephina

Stupid Baseball Questions
So, I'm primarily a hockey fan, followed by college football and basketball. However, I'm from Detroit and so, am now following MLB a bit closer.

How do you remove the metal screen on the K1000?
Sorry I can't help you but, please do some searches on re-cabling or hard-wiring the K1000s. I just can't remember where, but I've seen step-by step articles. Of course the removing of the screens would be of value to you. Good luck. BTW, were they like this when you bought 'em??- peter_josephina
