I picked up a 2325 a couple of years ago with one dead channel (Left channel power amp). The unit stayed in protection unless you unplugged that channel's power amp. Swapping the power amps to the other side: same result.
Someone else re-capped the protection board and replaced the relay...
Anybody able to get a decent result using the Hammerite "hammer-finish" aerosol cans? I can spray lacquer on a guitar and polish it to a mirror-like finish, but this stuff is not really living up to it's name. I've tried thin coats, thick coats, thin over thick, thick over thin and tomorrow I'm...
A beautiful pair of Mullard 12AX7's arrived safely at my door on this very day! Quickly shipped, too. A great way to start the week. Thanks Danimal1969, may the Audiokarma be with you.
Okay, weird business for the week (my week anyway).
I'm cleaning up a Marantz 27 for a friend. Crack the wood case and...I think I know what's happening here after my initial confusion. Anybody else want to have a stab at it before I put it in writing? For clarity's sake, we're looking...
Damn scorpion just tagged me on the pinky toe. First scorpion sting ever. Little bastard. Guess the universe doesn't want me looking at Bartertown right now. Son of a...
I thought this was kind of cool. It's a short video showing the assembly of one of the AtmaSphere M60 OTL tube amps. No afilliation.

About a year ago, I bought an Empire 398. It came to me in a drawer-style
plinth. Now that I've decided I like the Empire enough that it's going to stick around for a while, I built a new plinth for it. It's not an exact copy but as a proof-of-concept attempt, it'll work. I am going to refine...
My favorite albums of 2013:
Sarah Jarosz "Build Me Up From Bones"
Queens of the Stone Age "Like Clockwork"
Melt Banana "Fetch"
These three albums surprised me, I wasn't suspecting them to be much and all three knock me on my ass. Especially the Sarah Jarosz record. I'm not...
I picked up this little Bogen DB212 the other day. This evening I plugged it into the Realistic Nova 9's and ran some R2R tapes through it in the back room. Sounds pretty good, I must say;certainly good enough for the back bedroom.
Just purchased a repro Rek-O-Kut Stroboscopic disc from AK member Snerp.
Smooth transaction, arrived quickly, no muss;no fuss. Will not hesitate to do business again. Thanks!
Anybody else like the new Queens of the Stone Age record? I'm just hearing it and it's as good as anything they've done imo- and one of my favorites of 2013.
I have a pair of Advent "Mini-Advent" speakers that need new surrounds. Are surround kits available? These were a throw-in on a bigger deal so I've never heard them in proper form- Are they even worth messing with?
