    What speaker questions ring about as ranged as what lighting is the best... depends if your are getting a skin cancer check, on a date with an ugly person or out with buddies and a super model... Klipschs tend to be noted for their high efficiency and "sharp to bright sound" The older JBL...

    New "Solid State" Racks...speakers always changing

    The Main sitting rig... kinda two sets in one. Sounds pretty sweet running through the Denons or alternatively through the NAD pre and Rotel Power. Currently running the LS3/5's , Large Advents and JBL L100 Centuries

    Tuner volume low, all the rest fine.. Rotel Rx-402

    Just finished cleaning everything, deoxit fiesta. Bias set to spec as per service manual. Somewhere along the line the fm output dropped to about 50%. Aux and phono section still running great. Any ideas appreciated.

    Will two speaker sets in parallel overload an amp?

    And lots of the car subs run at 2 ohm and 1 ohm depending on the connection wiring and whether dual or single voicecoil and how they are set up... best bet.. find a powered sub at the thrift store or buy a disposable amp for your kicker before it is your "cooker"

    Is it just me or is the platter on the turntable exceptionally "high". Looks like the tonearm is actually angled up to reach. May be an artifact of photo angle or maybe just some peculiar design feature. Interesting either way.

    Technics SB-8000 thoughts, impressions and reasonable price to pay?

    Think I may jump on them. They look like very capable speakers construction wise. Havent ever seen the 10000's so these may be next best option.

    Technics SB-8000 thoughts, impressions and reasonable price to pay?

    Have a chance to pick a pair of these behemoths for $400. Wondering if they are worth the moula and if anyone has any familiarity (ie. any previous/current owners of these?). I am looking for something in this size/power range for a neo-vintage set. Thanks

    Stylus suggestion for my V15 Type IV

    I went with the JICO SAS and haven't looked back. Takes a bit to ship but worth the wait imho. Seems to be lots of discussion on the quality of the "new" Ed Saunders styli. I use an old one on my Type III and like the way it sounds so yeah, that might be worth a shot if so inclined as well.

    Philips PU 350B Semi-auto direct drive looking for info

    Just picked up this Philips TT at local thrift store. The Azden YM-P50VL cartridge and nice original stylus made the $20 price seem too good to resist. Now only issue is I can't find any info on the tt itself. Looking for a schematic or similar model, it needs a little work on the cueing...

    My first system

    Set up looks great man! Rock it out and enjoy it. I don't think I ever had a stereo I couldn't find a time love. That one looks awesome with the new lights.

    What causes this kind of... Groove destruction?

    Can't say what caused that but am willing to guess it would come under the heading of serious mishandling. I generally refer to that record class as "craftable" ie. suitable for craft projects having 0% chance of contacting any functioning stylus. If you have a local cliff, a 12 guage and a...

    anyone want a pair of bose 301 version 1 in walnut with metal stands for 50$ pair on local site (not CL) Pretty much in need of a fair bit of work. This is NOT a BOSE endorsement either... just saw them and thought someone might like a project.

    Good point hunter, they are just "better" grade crossovers than the "average", the coils are copper strip vs the more typical wound wire, and the capacitors are of the variety that solen.ca ask an arm, leg and first born in exchange for. In the sum, I see they are liquidating their whole...

    Affordable Iconic Speakers of the 1980s

    Had to throw this in to demonstrate the difference the room makes in the aesthetic; had this pair of Akai's circa 80's-90's in my classroom and sold them to a guy that then sent me the picture of them in his place... oh what a difference! They certainly look iconic and vintage IMHO in is setting...
