    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    I've been so busy with other things this project got put on hold and I haven't been able to pick it back up yet. I know it's been over a year and it's been bothering me that I haven't been able to finish this. I will complete this project as soon as possible.

    Denon POA-5200 Power Amp

    Just picked up this amp tonight for a song and a dance. Not sure what to expect. I quickly checked both channels in my garage and they seem to be working Curious to how this might compare to my Yamaha M-4 Power amps. I will try to audition it tomorrow. Does anybody have a service manual for...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    After drying for 24 hours there does not seem to be a huge difference between the surround sealants. The stuff from Roy remains very wet and sticky. It would definitely have no problem soaking into a woofer. The stuff from eBay is still very sticky but not wet. The original surround on the...

    Music Video Streaming Service?

    So i have been living under a rock for awhile and have no idea what kind of options are out there for this today. I have been using Pandora for years now and love how it is able to find and introduce me to new music that is similar or relative to what i already like. I was born in 89, Lots of...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    I added glue between the magnet and front/rear plates to prevent potential magnet shift. There are a few reasons i decided to use the clear gorilla glue instead of epoxy. I have 12 drivers to glue and epoxy hardens very quickly, I prefer to take it slow and do a good job. Rather than rush or...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    The surround sealant I ordered from Roy-C arrived quickly, but the stuff I found on eBay took awhile. Tonight I put some of each onto a piece of toilet paper to see what it is like when dried. The stuff I bought from Roy smells a lot like rubber cement. The stuff I bought on eBay resembles...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    found this product: eBay item number: 290600563656 According to the description it sounds like what I need. I went ahead and ordered it. Shipping is going to slow down my progress a few days. I will wait and do it right. I fear that if I put them back together and start listening I might not...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    While working on one of the woofers I decided to pump the breaks and report in before I continue any further. If I shine a flashlight from behind the surround I can see lots of light passing through. Do these cloth surrounds need to be re-doped? If so.. what should I use? I did not want to...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    Tonight I made progress cleaning the drivers. using Acetone (fingernail polish remover) made it easy to soften and remove the glue that held the mesh grills in place. I used small paint brushes, and Q-tips with a bit of water and dish soap to clean the midrange and tweeters on the first pair...

    Yet Another Yamaha NS1000 Project Re-cap

    I made progress yesterday and now the crossovers are nearly complete. I am going to swap out all the old 18AWG wire and use some 14AWG silver plated copper PTFE wire. But before I do, I need to clean the drivers. There is a thick brown layer of dust sitting on top of the drivers. These were...
