    Anyone using battery packs to power portable music systems?

    I have a collection of battery packs for tools (Milwaukee M18 18volt) and decided I would try using one to power a portable music system made with one of my stack of little chip amps. I hooked up a Fosi Audio ZK-502T Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier with Bass and Treble Control TPA3116D2 50W x 2...

    Amazon seems to be eliminating 3.5mm audio output from all new Echos

    With the Amazon Prime Days starting tomorrow this is a great time to pickup discounted Echo devices. If you like to use these to hook up to external amplifiers/stereos you should be sure to take note that they have eliminated 3.5mm audio output from all new Echos. I believe the latest...

    Pioneer "Private" S-X620V speakers (made to look like Yamaha NS-1000Ms

    These appear to have been made to look like NS-1000Ms. It looks like regular cone drivers hiding behind those screens. It's interesting how much effort has been put into duplicating the LOOK of the NS-1000M. I don't see any mention of these models anywhere...

    Anyone else using the digital tone controls in the Alexa App?

    I have several Echo Dots connected to Power Amps without controls and have been experimenting with using the digital tone controls in the Alexa App. I am mostly interested in giving a base boost to very small speakers like my ADS 200 and 300s, especially at low volumes. So far the base boost...

    The possible end of cheap shipping from China

    I hope this will not become a political discussion, but will just be a heads up for those of us that buy many little electronic bits and pieces from China. If the China ePacket subsidy is eliminated then the days of ordering an audio cable for under two dollars shipped from Shenzhen will be...

    Seven strange wires coming out of my ADS L300C's?

    Just found a pair of ugly but great sounding ADS L300C's at my local thrift store (for $10). Besides having been painted more than once each one has 7 mysterious wires coming out the back that have been clipped off? There are two screw heads on the back that I suspect are used to mount an add...

    Thinking of converting ADS L620s to L630s...

    I have a set of ADS L620 (2-way) I'm thinking of converting to L630s (3-way)... I should mention that I also have a set of L630s that I really like (as well as a pair of L880-2s). Since the 620s share the same cabinets Woofers and Tweeters with the 630s it's not that big a project. There is...

    CR-2040 pop when turned off ONLY, not on turn on.

    I have a CR-2040 that pops when turned off ONLY, not on turn on. Otherwise works perfectly. I started this discussion in another existing thread with somewhat similar symptoms, but it's just causing confusion there so I have created my own thread to try to separate the discussions. Things...

    Any relatively easy CR-840 Tuner Adjustments?

    I have a nearly perfect CR-840 that will only tune down to 89.3 FM. It is actually at the mechanical limit on the tuner travel, not related to the pointer or string impeding travel. I have several of the other N40 service manuals and have ordered an actual original copy of the elusive CR-840...
