For AKer's that have heard these speakers, I'm interested in your thoughts on them. There are a few reviews on them out there that are mostly positive, and I've read them all, but I'm interested in AKer's thoughts who have actually heard them. One of the things that interests me about these...

No affiliation https://albany.craigslist.org/ele/d/schenectady-vintage-urei-model-809-time/7646128493.html About 3 hours from me. Needs foam but seller will supply a refoam kit. Price fair? Anyone know how they compare to Yamaha NS-1000's?

Designed for commercial use but will work perfectly fine in a home environment. Beast of an amp. Very heavy. Puts out 240wpc. I ran one for a while. Good sounding amp, and I enjoyed watching the meters dance. One thing to consider is that it doesn't have built-in speaker protection, so if...

Pretty hefty at 51lbs each. A pretty flat frequency response too.

Thanks Ohighway!

Not sure, but I would start a new thread in the speaker sub-forum for a better chance at an answer. Thanks for posting the pictures of the inside. Interesting speakers. Looks like alnico magnets on the tweeter and bass drivers. With the horn drivers, I wonder if Onkyo was intending to compete...

MEZE HEADPHONES 3m Cable for 99 Classics https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0756HSDNK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I use this cable on my Focal Elex with a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter. It's 9meters (9.8 feet) long. Ergonomically, it's night and day better than the stock Focal cable...

Should be fine. I ran mine (1C's) with an 8wpc SET amp in a smaller room (12 x 13) and I thought the combination sounded very good. They're actually relatively efficient compared to they're bigger brothers. From the Vandersteen website, here's the specs on the latest generation: Sensitivity...

Good looking builds.

I also built George Anderson's Tubelab SSE using KT88's. To my ears, the Tubelab is a bit sweeter sounding, more three dimensional and nuanced. But Pete's mono blocks are still very good and I can leave them on for hours and not worry about using up expensive audio tubes. The engineers amp uses...

Nice looking build. I built Pete's 50watt monoblock version of the Engineers amp, the 50 watt Nutube / class-D hybrid amp, and the Sangaku headphone amp. All very good sounding amps. Somehow I overlooked the Uniamp. Had I been aware or it, I probably would have built it before the other amps...

https://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/d/rochester-sae-x15a-hypersonic-class/7615036466.html Not mine and no affiliation. Any opinions? Can't find much info on it. Claims class A and 150 watts. Can it really be 150 watts of class A? Maybe it's just class A up to a few watts, then changes to AB...

Just anecdotal, but I've replaced crossover caps and coupling caps with Mundorfs and I thought I heard a difference for the better. However, I wouldn't tell anyone that they would absolutely hear a difference with boutique caps. However, the person that runs this website definitely believes so...

RIP. Thank you for the decades of wonderful music.

Similar ad in Rochester craigslist. Same price but pictures and description slightly different. https://rochester.craigslist.org/ele/d/rochester-sansui-8080db/7540819169.html

The tweeters are not original and without a doubt inferior to the original beryllium tweeters. In any case, they are certainly not an appropriate replacement. One low resolution, blurry picture that most likely hides a multitude of cosmetic imperfections. Claims "great condition" in the...

Philips SHP9500

Yes, I was intrigued with the use of tv sweep tubes. Happily, they sound fantastic. I have another tube amp - a KT88 single ended. To my ears, these monoblocks sound as good, or maybe even better than the KT88 amp. I bought a few extra sets of the 6HJ5's since they are fairly inexpensive...

Some of you might be familiar with Pete Millett's "Engineer's Amplifier" - a distortion canceling push-pull amp that uses TV tubes. Pete designed the original version in 2009. These monoblocks are Pete's variation on that original design. Link - http://www.pmillett.com/DCPP_MB.html I'm using...

If you haven't already, I would start with contact cleaner (deoxit) on the power switch and volume controls.

The farthest I've driven is from Rochester to Toronto, about a 3 hours, 180 miles, to see the band Luna.

The song "Summer Breeze" makes me feel fine. RIP
