Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
Bass is a very subjective thing! I used to have a pair of Klipschorns and what I found was the base response was so low and went through the walls in the floor that it wasn’t truly clear and accurate! What you have to remember is that the vibratio... 
Ultrasonic record cleaners
Here is a video I did on the whole subject!  There is no comparison to any type of cleaning that works better and truly brings old albums back to life!  Also I clean ALL my new albums this way and you would be shocked how filthy brand new albums a... 
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
Back in the'90 I bought a pair of Klipschorns which were 5 feet tall and 180 lbs!  I have since downsized to a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls which are four feet tall and weigh only 100lbs!  
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have?
One ridiculous thing I see over and over again in the VC is putting their bookshelf speakers on the same surface as their turntable is on!  Huge no-no and should be obvious to anyone doing that!  The sound will distort and feedback from lack of is...

The Rolling Stones country album! Some don’t know of this gem but "Let It Bleed" is definitely country and 4 kids from England can get it! It's brilliant and if you haven’t experienced it you must! Love me some Stones! Pull me out of whatever funk...

Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship?
I highly recommend USHIP.COMThey blanket wrap your stuff and it never goes through an automated situation.  The only safer way would be for you to take it there yourself.  Ive used this service many time and most recently had a pair of Klipsch Cor... 
WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
Aja by Steely DanAlmost everything in non conventional but it melds together beautifully! Many time changes and melody changes is confusing and still so intriguing! I have it on LP Mobile Fidelity so it sounds incredible on my system! 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
I have a late '80s pair of Cornwalls and love them.  I saw where someone wrote and acquired taste.  I believe that to be true however Ive never not liked the higher end Klipsch sound.  In high school I saved ups my money and bought a brand new pai... 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
Vintage Klipsch Cornwalls.  I picked up a pair from the 1980 and the imaging and rich sound quality and depth of stage I find second to none!
