    Compression driver ID

    Just came back from picking up what I believe to be a single 32C horn (plastic version, correct me if I'm off there) mated to an unmarked compression driver. There are a few stamps on the CD, pictures attached, but haven't been able to confirm. Maybe it's an 802 if it came from a Model 15? Any...

    Restored Eight Deluxe dropping a channel

    I purchased an Eight Deluxe a few years back that had been fully restored in 2019 by QRX Restore. Earlier this week, it started intermittently dropping the right channel, which I initially suspected was the turntable or cartridge. I tested with FM and AUX, along with moving to a different...

    Shopping for a tonearm in Tokyo

    Off to Japan later this month for 2 weeks, will have the most time for shopping in Tokyo. I'm about to embark on a SP-10mkii restoration, so I'd like to bring a tonearm back with me. Anyone have an updated list of shops to check out? IIRC, Hifido has some brick and mortar stores, but I don't...

    Running speaker wire over a mantle

    The best placement for our speakers at the moment is on either side of our fireplace, which means we've got one long speaker wire going across the top of the mantle. Wife wants it to disappear. Looking for ideas on concealing the speaker wire, and can't go through the plaster as it's all brick...

    Speaker ID?

    The ones on the bottom look interesting, no additional pictures though. Cornwalls without badges maybe? I've asked the seller for any pictures of the back.

    Worth a shot?

    The wife and I went to buy a dining room table from a woman who was starting to downsize. After asking if there was anything else we needed, I casually asked about stereo gear. She mentioned there was one thing but that I probably wouldn't want it. She brings me inside and shows me a system...

    rickb119 is as solid as they come

    Rick (@rickb119) was kind enough to respond to a wanted ad I had for some cat-proof ADS L710s. The price was right and even turned on the space heater in the garage for a demo. Great seller, buy with confidence.

    Cartridge Advice: Sony PS-2250 w/ PUA-114 tonearm

    Seeking some guidance from you fine folks. I've been scouring the web for more info in Sony's PUA-114 tonearm and cartridges that would go well with it. When I bought the table, it came with a Shure V15 type II, with a needle that seemed to have some life left on it. I guess one option would be...

    A beast of a score

    Every now and then you catch a post the minute it’s listed. Nice family downsizing from a big ol ranch. This was grandpas and it wasn’t making the trek to their new home. Going back to get the speakers later, the main cabinet had to have been 250lbs alone. Elac Miracord 10h turntable Tandberg...

    Spendor BCII/BC2

    So, I was granted early access to an estate sale this morning to go pick up a very nice Sony PS2250 turntable and alongside it was a set of Spendor BCII's. It was a few bills out the door for everything, so I thought I'd take a gamble as I had heard good things about the brand on AK...

    Fisher 400 tubes - where to spend and where to save

    Hi all - I've got a 400 that's currently under the knife for a restoration. I know I'm going to need new 7868 output tubes, but I'm wondering where it makes the most sense to spend money on tubes vs. where I can save a few bucks. I believe this is the full tube list for the early version (my...

    Headphone prices - vintage vs new

    So I've been poking around AK and Head-fi (and the auction site's sold listings) trying to get a sense of what the right price points are for some vintage cans vs newer ones. I've read great things about some old Koss's (Pro-4AAA), Pioneers (Monitor 10s, SEL 40s), and some others. What I...

    Luxman K-8 help

    Hi all - Since our office is closed through the end of the month, I figured I'd try and get this thing up and running again. My history with it is brief - I picked the K-8 up alongside a system of other seemingly unused gear (Onkyo A-7/T-4, Dual TT). The rest has found new homes, but the...

    Someone's weekend started off nicely

    Saw this and responded far too late. A TD-124 with an SME arm for a Franklin - can't win em all. Hope an AKer grabbed it.

    bashman buys great records (and is a great buyer)

    @bashman was quick with his payment, understanding of the delays due to holiday travel season, and patiently waited for Ringo & Paul to arrive at his doorstep. Barter with confidence!

    Console ID?

    Posting this in the tube forum since the photo was taken in the 50s. Any clue what console this is or who might have made/designed it? Beautiful piece. For what it's worth, it looks like Julius Shulman took the photo around 1954. Thanks!

    Mac 1700 vs Sansui Eight

    The lady and I are moving in together coming up and I've been looking for a Sansui Eight as I really like the face, have heard great things about the iconic Sansui sound (I've enjoyed my 5000a since day 1), and she simply won't accept anything but a silver face with a wood case. A week or so...
