    Thoughts on HSU Research CCB-8 speakers?

    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...

    Altec Model 14 vs Yamaha NS-1000M?

    Has anyone heard both of these speakers and can offer some comparisons? I realize that they are very different designs but they seem to be about the same in terms of value on the market. How do they differ in sound quality? Are the Altec's close to the Yamaha's in transparency?

    Yamaha NS-2000 speakers - Phoenix - no price listed

    NOAF. They are too far from me, otherwise I might be pursuing them. So, just a heads up, as they are a rare and desirable speaker. I recently became interested in this model after acquiring NS-1000M's and being amazed at their transparency and sound quality. I've read here on AK that the...

    Recommend protection relay replacement - OMRON G5R-2232P-KW for Sony TA-N90ES?

    Sony TA-N90ES with an intermittent left channel, the cause of which I traced to a speaker protection relay (tapping on the relay brings the channel back). I removed the relay and was going to clean the contacts, but I think I would rather just replace both of the relays and be done with it if I...

    Are the grills from the ADS *90 series slim towers interchangeable?

    Are any of the *90 series grills interchangeable? For example, could you take an L690 grill and slap it on an L1290? I realize that due to height and width differences, probably not, but I am curious.
