Hi to everyone. I recently came into this tube amp in trade for a Thorens TD150 turntable. The person I got it from said it was 35 watts and made by Blair Lamphear who was a reputable builder of tube amps known for his Nightshade Audio amplifiers. There is a metal plate on the side that says...
Hello folks. I'm trying to complete a very vintage small system for my basement, currently looking at these two amplifiers (also maybe a Kenwood 2500). Considering condition is comparable, with the Sansui being a bit more expensive which would you all recommend and why.
I've got a pair of AR7's...
Putting this out to the knowledge folks here. I just picked up a pair of AR7 speakers in the beautiful teak cabinets. The drivers have been redone and I think the missing piece is redoing the capacitors.
My question is what is the difference between the 6.2uf 250v versus the Solens 6.2uf 400v...
I followed your advice to the letter and now the pin is secured in the headshell and the cartridge couples perfectly with the arm tube. Than you so much!
I've got a Thorens TD150 with the original arm and headshell. The little pin on the head shell that helps tighten the head shell to the arm tube is now sliding down as I try to tighten the coupling nut over it. Does this make sense so far? I need to know if there is a way to get the pin to stay...
I've had both and only kept the Minimus 7's. I wanted the Spica's for many reasons among which that they were made in my hometown of Santa Fe NM. However, as much as I liked them I found them a bit light sounding and they didn't lend themselves well to casual listening, especially Rock & Roll.
Blasphemy I know, but the Boston Acoustics HD8's are probably some of the best sounding speakers I've heard. The fact that they can be had for pennies makes them a real treat.
Well a quick trip to Goodwill yielded these, a pristine pair of Canton Plus S speakers. $20 for the pair. I've got a pair of their LE102 bookshelf speakers which I am quite happy with, so I'm already a bit of a fan. Got home and hooked them up and I'm pretty happy with them. Quite a bit like the...
Got the AR gear hooked up last night. I like the way this system sounds, perhaps a bit cleaner sounding and little more lively than the Rotel/Hafler combo. But...there's a slight buzzing sound coming from the amplifier. It's not coming through the line but can be heard coming from the unit...
