    So here are some audio devices I've never run across...

    Can't steal their photos, but here's the Reddit post. Little doo-dads on the walls of listening areas, apparently. https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatisthis/comments/jgxtc0/we_are_buying_a_home_and_have_been_told_the_owner/ Not my post on Reddit, merely an observation.

    Need a Sony Quad RTR?

    TC 388-4 on Columbus OH area craigslist. $175. Not mine, no relation, etc. I/O on rear panel labeled 1, 2 front, 1, 2 back, so it looks like full-time 4 channel, but doesn't look like a music production recorder, with individual track recording, bouncing, etc. Here's the linkey-dinkey...

    New-to-me Revox A77

    For some reason, an A77 followed me home from craigslist the other day. Looks like a low-speed 1/4-track MK II, with the US-option stainless front panel behind the reels. Pretty clean, no missing parts. Seller had it turned on when I arrived, so variac start-up no longer an option. I'll need...

    Counterfeit part detection

    Mostly focused on DIP packages, so op-amps, digital logic, etc. But interesting article with examples, and links to other related articles. (Didn't see a publication date, so may be 'old news'.) http://www.aeri.com/counterfeit-electronic-component-detection/ Chip

    Dollars, no Sense

    Not a post about specific item, so may be mis-categorized here. If so, apologies in advance and relocation welcome. We've all seen the examples of outrageous pricing, and final sale prices of run-of-the-mill, even non-working hi-fi gear... primarily on ebay, I often speculated it was a cover...

    Groovy home decor

    https://columbus.craigslist.org/zip/6130263179.html I couldn't decide where this belonged. Turntables? Listening Spaces? DIY? Analog? Dollars & Nonsense? Dumpster? Pic link will probably work for awhile, as I don't see it selling real quickly... Chip

    New-old-stock capacitors, sort of...

    About a month ago, I got a Hafler 120 amplifier "brand new in box" unassembled -- in kit form. Also got a balanced-input board for it. (Kit assembly consists of hooking up between modules, switches, jacks, etc. Circuit boards are already populated and soldered, and QC'd.) So should my first...

    Fisher Quad on Columbus CL

    There's a beat-up '74 Fisher quad receiver on Columbus OH CL for $50. Knobs are gone, case is scratched up; lights up but does not work. Quad pan-pot looks to be intact. So if anyone's after a project or parts, there ya' go. This has been posted on CL before with no sale, and the ad states "last...

    Initial foray into tube system

    I've had a Bell 2122 mono amp for many years, passed down from my dad. I spent some time and money late last year to find and purchase another, to group with my (so far unmodified) AR TT and some Ohm E speakers for a small system. The "new" 2122 is supposed to have been re-capped by the PO...

    50s hi-fi speakers on Columbus CL

    Here's a link to my post on VK about them. They're 5 drivers in open-backed furniture/console-style cabinets. Not any kind of name-brand "acoustic suspension" speaker. What's unusual is that there are a pair that match and appear pretty unmolested, so if you're looking to have a quad setup...

    Realistic System 7 knob search

    On Columbus CL this morning, there was a listing of JBL manuals, some recone tools (gap gauges, caps, etc.) available as a lot. http://columbus.craigslist.org/msg/4645558839.html Not mine, no connection, etc. Happy shopping. Chip

    Philosophical ramblings...

    So, I noticed Arkay's sig line: “Sitting in a room, alone, listening to a CD is to be lonely. Sitting in a room alone with an LP crackling away … is enjoying the sublime state of solitude." -Henry Rollins Caused me to pause and wonder if the reason that listening to LPs brings with it just a...

    Teac AN 300

    Ran across a clean-looking Teac AN 300 4-channel Dolby NR unit at a Columbus equipment resale shop today. Under a hundred. It's the kind of place where the gear is "supposed" to work -- not a junk shop. If anybody's got a hankerin' to complete their Teac 4-channel ensemble, post the request...

    Phase Linear on Columbus CL, but it's in Sandusky

    Clean-looking Phase Linear 400, and Phase Linear Preamp (joystick in the center -- not familiar with them enough to say what it is) Listed on CL in Columbus, but location is Sandusky. Amp is shown at $350, I believe. Anyway, not me, no relation, etc. Let the "Flame Games" begin. Chip

    Cols., OH 50's "stereo ready" consoles

    OK, I made up the "stereo-ready" part... but this phono console has a matching, speaker-look record cabinet, just begging to be filled with drivers... http://columbus.craigslist.org/atq/3972779989.html Not mine, no relation, etc. On edit... It looks like it actually has drivers in...

    Jensen drivers/cabs on Columbus CL

    Ran across this listing of Jensen drivers, "with cabinets", which apparently means a pair of 'em. Crossovers, too. Guess he likes taking things apart... http://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/3987364510.html Not me, no relation, etc. More crinkle-finish paint than you can shake a tonearm...
