I picked this beauty up this weekend and attempting to rebuild it. It is quite the odd configuration and I am having a very hard time getting schematics! I got the service manual for the Concertino portion, but I am scratching my head on the remote "stereo amp" & controls. So far, c/o...

I had been looking to build a "real" SE after hearing the results of a Piccolo ECL86 SET I built years ago with old console parts. Last year I built a set of Markaudio 12.2P Pensils and wanted an amp to complement them. I looked at 300B, 2A3, etc. but the BOM cost was just too high. I ran across...

Having previously lived on the SE side of Michigan, I know what a following SMAC has. I was wondering what interest there was for a SWAC? We finally moved into our new house this past July and I now have a dedicated listening room that I could host at to get things started. I also recently...

We moved earlier this year and my new music room is 11x14 and I have to listen across the short wall. My trusty DeanG RF-7's were no longer an option ... <sob> I looked at various DIY builds and decided to give the Markaudio Alpair 12P fullrangers a go. After breaking them in for 150 hours...

I just finished building some Pensil 12.2p's with Markaudio Alpair 12P's. I am a fullrange convert now! :banana: I am currently running a highly-modified ST-70 but I think these will benefit from a SET. I was curious if anyone in the Grand Rapids area would like to come over and listen to...

I was given a working MA5100 from a fellow audiophile co-worker who retired. The pots are all noisy but it sounds great except the highs seem a bitt rolled-off. I was thinking of cracking it open and doing some mods: 1. Replace Power Supply caps - cans not available, so discrete filter...

... I cried ... no BS ... I cried! As much as Man Law prohibits me from writing this ... HOLY SH*T BATMAN!!! My system is: - Rega P2 SE (glass platter and previously Super Bias) - Modified Rotel Phono Pre w/LME49710 op-amps - Luminous Audio Axiom Passive Preamp - Dynaco ST-70...

Sorry I missed AKFest to hear them! Am looking for new front mains and looking at the SA-1 monitors from Madisound. Have a Carver D-8 for bottom end. Tired of sitting in a 3 foot cubed box to listen to audio c/o my Klipsch SF2's with horns with NO front to back soundstaging! If you bring...

So I am at work and I see an ad posted on the work BB for a friend of a friend. I browse through and see a pair of vintage "Infinite speakers - $100". I do a quick web search for vintage Infinity speakers and find they are Column II's! So, I call and take my modded ST-70 over. Plug it in and...

Hello ... does anyone in SE Michigan have a Blueberry Extreme I could audition for a few days. I'll give you my HIGHLY modified ST-70 as collateral for piece of mind. I want to hear this thing before dropping that kind of cash. TIA ... Craig

Well, now that I have finished modding my equipment, I found a new shortcoming ... my speakers. My current system is a modified Rega P2, NAD PP-2, modified Marantz CD63, Luminous Audio Axiom Passive preamp, modified ST-70 and Klipsch SF-2's. While I truly enjoy the horns on vinyl, they can be...

Sorry ... duplicate Sorry ... duplicate

Many know that the Marantz players are a great "bang for the buck", but they are also fairly easy to modify and when done, compete with players in the $1-3000 dollar pricerange for about 1/10th the cost and a little labor. 1. Dynamat entire chassis: 2. Install Vibrapod feet: 3. Remove...

Here is what a friend of mine does ... I did it for about 4 months and sure enough, Capital One got the hint and I haven't got a thing from them in about 2 months now! Take the postage paid envelope and take EVERYTHING they sent you and stuff the envelope! Write 'No Thanx' on the app and rip...

Hello gang! I am a vinyl/tube guy first and foremost. I have a modest setup as such: Moded Rega P2 -> NAD PP-2 -> Axiom Passive Pre-Amp -> Moded ST-70 -> Klipsch SF-2's I was visiting my parents this weekend and my Dad gave me a Sony TC-521 that a customer gave him as payment. He also...

I am at my wit's end with the 60Hz coming from my NAD PP-2 phono stage and have decided to go tube. I also wanted to incorporate some other goodies like: - USB In - Line In (x2) - LPF SW Out (Stereo/Mono switchable) - Remote Control I'll build it in stages as money and time permit with...
