Thanks for the invite. I'll be there if I can shake free. I have something (things) I might be interested in trading as well.

thanks Dswankey, I'll give it a shot

Hey there fellow travelers, I just acquired a pair of Ampex 6973 mono blocks. They appear to be in great original shape, but I want to replace caps and put an on/off switch, and power lamp on them (at least). But I know next to nothing about any of this. Actually, after looking closely one of...

I'm in central Arkansas, and would like to know if anyone else from Arkansas is out there for trading/buying/selling purposes.

"I'm interested in you thoughts after you swap to the Sansui 1000a and SX-1250. I encourage you to move the speakers around a bit. The KLF-30 gets very high marks, there must be a combo that makes them sing. What output tubes is the Sansui running? 6L6 or 7591? Should be able to make them...

"I agree with Frank ... there is no single magic bullet. You need to be the the right room and proper placement is critical. To this I would add, they are amp dependent - the right components can be huge. I like the vintage tube/Klipsch combo." I'm waiting on a Sansui 1000a tube receiver to...

Thanks for the input. I'm about to get a set of stock KLF-30s. I'm sure to be pleased with the stock versions, but I'm a restless gear-monger, and being right down the road from Bob Crites, I'll probably want to tinker even if I'm happy with stock performance.

I've heard tons of people who rave about how Bob Crites' titanium upgrades have taken their Klipsch gear to new levels. I've never heard upgraded gear. But I've also heard one guy (a guy I personally know and trust) say that he witnessed an upgrade take place live and everyone quietly...

The best microbrews I've ever had (and really the only ones I'd go out of my way to drink again) were made by a friend of mine. I live in Little Rock, and the local microbrews are awful (at least the ones I've tried). They're so awful, in fact that I'm wary of buying stuff I haven't tried...

Sure, there are more breweries, but how many of them are putting blueberries and whatnot in there? If you're having to put stuff like that in your "beer" to dress it up, you weren't doing it right in the first place.

On the bright side we are in the golden age of brewing here in America, there are thousands of choices when it comes to beer. We are NOT in the golden age of brewing in America. The Golden Age of Brewing in America ended the day prohibition was passed (thank you religionistas). Prohibition...

There was quite a debate about whether or not you should "wash" electronics in cleaning solution. We'll see. I'll be giving a full report once I get it back. It's the only piece of tube stereo stuff I've ever had (I've had several tube guitar amps). On an unrelated note, I loaned my Sansui...

I've had a Sansui 1000a for some time that I've been afraid to turn on because of old caps. I've decided to send it to them for a cleaning and recap. They said that it'd be a three month turn around on the project. I can't wait to actually get it back and put it through its paces (without...

I paid the guys over at Speakerworks in Tulsa to repair my original (didn't cost much). Thanks for the help. I ended up trying to refoam a driver and blew it up. I sent that one to them and they suggested I replace the original drivers with some generics from parts express. I ordered them...

That's what I was afraid of (don't get me wrong, looking at that rat's nest of wires & old caps, and dividing the amount of time to replace each one by $500, it probably is a fair deal). I think I'd have to do it myself before I shell out that much (then end up paying someone to figure out what...

I'm interested in this thread, as I have an SE-9 being delivered sometime in the next couple of days, and don't have a mic. If you don't mind, share your experience when you get around to trying whichever mic(s) you demo.

I also have one of these that I've powered up (without a variac) and it's fully functional. If restored properly could look brand new. But I'm afraid to turn it on now too, and after looking under the hood at the rat's next of wires and ancient caps, I'm scared to attempt recapping it myself...

I had a Mac4100 recently. When I first listened to it, I didn't like it near as much as my Sansui 9090, but I wanted to give myself time to fall in love with it. It seemed (it's hard think of a good adjective here).. uptight, compared to the Sansui (which is just smooth as liquid night). But...

How much did he charge for the restoration? I have to have the same done to my 1000a

Thanks, I'll see if they have I shot them an email. Thanks. I'll let you know what comes of it. (I also have a Tannoy that probably needs to be re-coned and asked them about that).

I've been checking Ebay for a couple of weeks, to no avail. But the speakers don't have a single mark, except a red dot. Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look at ebay and see if there are any Philips tweets that look like them.

I snagged a pair of Norman Lab Model 10's that needed some TLC. I repaired the surrounds on one and recapped it. It sounds swell. The other, has a blown tweeter. I have no idea, and haven't been able to find any specs on the crossover or tweeter. I replaced a tweeter before, with less...
