    Rek-O-Kut Rondine Jr. L-34 turntable with Empire 98 tonearm need a Plinth

    Thanks for that advert. I studied it a bit more and noticed all except the rondine delux used the same motor, with the “custom built hysteresis synchronous motor” in only the rondine deluxe, which gets the better s/n. All the others indicate a “ new design hysteresis synchronous motor” and when...

    Rek-O-Kut Rondine Jr. L-34 turntable with Empire 98 tonearm need a Plinth

    I’ve never had that experience with any of my 3 ROK K33’s, but they’re the belt driven ones. As you might guess, I’m biased away from idlers because of the rumble.

    45 push pullamps!

    I know, old post. But Gary Dodd got me interested when i bought one of a few headphone amps he made. Yesterday. Posthumously of course. Listening to it now. Starting to really like it.

    The Radio Shack SA-155 Mini Amp

    Got one last nite. $20. Was just looking for something in my electronics shop for background music and testing speakers. (And I’ve used the rat-shack phono pre’s and liked them) Despite things said here, i did not have high expectations. But i was quite pleasantly surprised! I can see why...

    Bought custom speakers... JBL D123 + Peerless

    old thread and not certain if anyone is watching it. I am working on a fill speaker for my Khorns. Actually, Khorn bass bins + JBL 2360 horns with either EV or JBL 2" driver. Sound is amazing with tubes, but like eveyrone, i thirst for improved 300<->6/700 hz. The bass bins don't quite make...

    Allen Organ Speakers HC 15 BIG THANKS

    Just picked up 4. Free. They called me! Not a bad thing to have an unflattering reputation sometimes. Say whqt you want, but i just got 4 free hc-15s. Tried them with a rebuilt hafler dh-200 and a dac playing hi-res. Anyway, my impressions mirror the above posters. I was going to just...

    Stanton Gyropoise 800B Turntable found!

    There's more than 1 of them in the wild. Mark. What ever happened to your's? The plinth under it is a 110# steel plate on 3 racketballs with Memory Foam dampeners and dampeners between the TT and the plate. and of course the magnetic levitation that the original table provided. That's a...

    Harman Kardon Citation 11

    Never trust Stereophile reviews. Their endorsements are for sale to the highest advertiser's bidding. Watch - when the new model comes out, the old one is junk and you MUST upgrade.

    Kenwood KR-9600 TA200-W solution ?

    Eddy. Please don't be discouraged. I am extremely interested in this thread as I have a 9600 about to get restored. If I invest this much effort I would be crushed if an amp module failed and I could not replace it. Assuming the China source does start relisting module replacements, I would...

    My saga of the KR-9600 handles

    sorry to try to wake this thread from the dead, but I think my question is most appropriate here. I just got a Kenwood KR-9600 with a the wood case (lucky me - it was just given to me. Free!). However, they seem to reuse the screw holes that originally are used to attach the handles to attach...

    Referring to this thread, https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/rok-s120-and-s160-vs-micropoise-tonearms.770383/ I saw you mentioned you have a couple Rek-o-Kut tonearms. I recently acquired a K33-H with the original S120, but no headshell. I'd be interested in purchasing either a...

    Heathkit W4-AM modifications

    Thanks!! I have a very nice pair. Nicely refreshed by a prior owner, but no Dave's mods. Figured I really need to mod it (reduce b+, stability) and I have K-horns so lots of watts aren't needed, so will probably head down the Class A Triode path at the same time.

    Any interest in a Chicago area club?

    back on post 26 I noted there are a bunch of Wheaton and very close to wheaton folks. Well Vinylator and I just talked and we're planning an outing to the 4/16 date of Axpona this year. Any other very local folks want to join us or just meet at the show?

    GE amp from console, is it worth while?

    My first was a SE EL84 out of a Webcor record player. Worked out just fine pushing some Dynaco A25 speaks in my office. I would grab it.

    Any interest in a Chicago area club?

    I'm also in Wheaton and interested. Just in case you're counting, that makes 3 in Wheaton. We should start our own. And I count a few more in towns immediately adjacent.

    Hi Doug. In post 7 of this thread http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=600719 you mention you have the horn mids for EV Maquis speakers. 8HD I think. If you still do, I might be interested as I just acquired some really nice walnut cabs, and had the SP12b + T35 + Sentry I...
