Is there a better/comparable aftermarket driver that I can put in there while I'm at it or is it best to get...

    SX-1500TD Rebuild help

    I recently claimed the free SX-1500TD from DRecovery. I checked it out,reflowed some solder,then my output board let the magic smoke out upon power up. I have learned the error of my ways (didn't use variac or DBT) and now I just seek to redeem myself by bringing it back to life. I think it was...

    Sx-750 vs sx-1050

    Ignoring wattage,how do these two compare in terms of sound and build quality? I'm seriously looking at getting a SX-1050 ,but I've never seen one in person or heard one. I have a SX-750,so if I can get comparisons to it then I will know what to expect.

I re-veneered the case with some vinyl peel-and-stick shelf stuff that I got at the hardware store and now it looks closer to how it sounds.Any opinions...
