    Great Scott opportunity

    Oh no... I think D+S is here for the exact opposite reason... It's the "try it, it's not addicitve" part of this website ;-)

    Great Scott opportunity

    https://maxsold.maxsold.com/auction/82030/item/scott-stereo-system-b-5166378?link=auctionbox I know, I know, haven't been here in a decade and now I post in D+S. I assure you I'm in no way associated to the auction. Liven in different country than the auction. But it would be a shame for...

    Lo-Fi and a small investment can make one smile!!

    Bah... those speakers are too big! Minimus 7s in wood. :-) One of my fave setups are a destroyed set of RS Nova 6s and Pioneer SX770 in my office. Peeling veneer, no grills, burnt out bulbs - pleanty of smiles for the miles though.

    Large bookshelf spkrs for set amp

    It seems I'm in every thread where mhardy6647 mentions Esquires. I can't help but adding my own 2c as I like my Esquires very much. They keep finding themselves back in rotation, despite several pair of "better" speakers in the house. They're just a sweet, full sounding speaker that can play all...

    Sansui G971 protection relay trouble

    BTW... I think this is the correct relay http://www.sansui-parts-shop.com/index.php?page=details&prod=1406 Should I splurge and get it? (Provided the consensus is to replace the existing relay)

    Sansui G971 protection relay trouble

    My G971 has been acting up. It would lose a channel once in a while... give it a tap and the channel is back. Last time, I thought it was the protection relay (RL602 on the F3702 protection board). I took it off, examined it and cleaned the heck out of it and that seemed to do the trick for a...

    Project idea 18" woofer, 8" full range

    Was about to type out a similar post... but noticed that frperdurabo already did it for me. OB is over H frame has been proven a good design by Martin King and well documented here.

    Mirage M-490 package. Deal?

    I think you can do much better for less. I'd pass. I do own the 490s that are used for TV viewing, and they are a nice speaker... but really... I'd pass.

    Marantz Eighteen 18 Power Switch

    I don't recall exactly. But I think this may be the switch I used (I took off the on/off plate and the circle was perfect for the cut-out): http://www.gardnerbender.com/en/gsw-124 Or come to think of it... this one. Yep, this is the one! I remember the leads...

    I really don't recall. But hen I'm in that shop again I'll try and find it again and take a pic...

    I really don't recall. But hen I'm in that shop again I'll try and find it again and take a pic. It's just a basic switch, chrome with a ball on the end. The key is that it fits the cut out perfectly

    Magnepan 3.3 R feedback wanted

    If the price is reasonable... a full ribbon Magnepan is an experience worth having. Faults - sure... including a small sweetspot, unless you have a big room. Power - anything over 50W will be fine... but the more the merrier (the bottom end will fill out nicely). But to me - their specialness...

    Bad/Sad couple of months for our family!

    Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. I hope the clouds part soon and you'll see the shining sun again.

    I think I found an Electro-Voice Patrician IV

    I though the Patrician had the 30" woofer... That monster can command four digit prices on its own.

    My first tube setup

    As someone who's had lots of other tubes (sadly no 300B or 2A3 yet) I can say that you'll likely keep that little maggot box a long time. I keep returning to mine even in the face of other well regarded gear. With a nice sensitive speaker ( I use 12" Phillips/Norleco T-7 full range in a giant...

    Who is making great Stereo Receivers today ?

    I don't know if anyone mentioned, but Pioneer has SX-A9MK2-K.

    Heads Up - Pioneer CS-63DX

    I had a pair. Though handsome... They didn't impress. Nice but forgettable.

    Modding Altec Santana's

    Had the bi-flex Santanas... Not for long. Just nothing there of any interest. Weak on all fronts... Well... except appearance. They are a handsome speaker.

    mid-Ontario Citation 19 plus ???

    Tha might be a heck of a deal! 15" full rangers aren't cheap! And that 19 is a very nice amp.

    Axiom speakers? Regrets?

    You have the older version. My friend, AKer 4seatpilot, has those as well, but I have not heard them.

    Axiom speakers? Regrets?

    I have heard a friends AX 5s. I thought they sounded fantastic. Need to be cautious of placement with those rear firing sub - but really a fine speaker. Good looking too, in piano black.
