So I have an SPU 1 S on a second tonearm that I want as a dedicated mono arm. I was thinking since I only need one channel of a mono record I can just use a single transformer and y adapt the inputs for 2 channel mono. However, would this affect the load that the transformer sees from my phono...

Using mobile version and when I click on next page it doesn’t take me to the top of the next page but I stay on the bottom. Rather annoying.

Any help would be super appreciated! I tried searching B&H but couldn't find anything useful.

Came across this classic design by Dieter Rams and noticed the tonearm. Is this the design that EMT would later copy for their 997? Braun turntable is from the early 60s and the 997 came out in the 70s.

So I understand that the painted L1 denotes that the negative terminal gets connected to it. My question is does it matter how the diaphragm is oriented on the driver. Someone has written + - on the top plate of my driver.

Picked up a pair of 601-8d's in a partial trade. Speakers seem to be in nice condition but the tweeter dcr measures like a 16 ohm driver. Is it still possible to use these with an 8 ohm amp?

Decided to swap out my 802 aluminum diaphragms and replace them with some unloved symbiotiks from an old pair of 807s. I had been experiencing some fatigue and harshness with the aluminum so I changed them up tonight and WOW...My system is already more mid range oriented but the symbiotiks with...

Finally joined the SET club :) It sounds as good as it looks.

The Proceed PCD, even though I'm a vinyl/tube guy I've always fantasized about Mark levinson gear and this will probably be the closest I get to owning some. Having so much fun listening to this CD player and buying cds on the cheap. Why buy the 200$ vinyl when you can get the cd for 5$! Also...

So I'm looking at a pair of 604e's and I asked the seller to measure the dc resistance and the 1 woofer measured at 12 and the other 5.8. I know it's not an exact measurement but that seems like a pretty drastic difference that could affect the performance of the speakers.

Hey guys, recently contracted a local woodworker/artist to construct me a pair of 614 cabinets using the original plans. He just sent me a rendering of the enclosure to double check that everything was right before he started construction. Because I've never seen a pair in person I thought I'd...

Looking to move on from my PAS 3 to something a little more refined with MM phono. Budget is around 1000 and open to new / vintage gear suggestions, thanks.

With the stock inputs being so close together which interconnects do you guys recommend for this amp?

I'm using a stock TD 160 with a Nagaoka MP 110 cart. I've been consistently getting distortion / audible surface noise / and buzz coming from the right speaker. I also get buzz sometimes when I move the tonearm in and out of the plastic holder. I've tightened and swapped the leads numerous...

So I've cleaned out the bearing well, ordered some new grommets, and cleaned the idler studs etc. However, the motor doesn't appear to have the oil spouts to clean the motor. I'm also perplexed by the transformer and fuse. Any tips / suggestions for this restoration would be greatly appreciated.

I just got this old Empire 98 tonearm and I see that headshell leads have been soldered. Are the pins pooched or is it possible to removed the leads without damaging them?

Is the thakker belt a good belt for td 160? I don't see any genuine thorens belts on eBay anymore.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what terminal on the speaker I use to hook up my horn tweeter, thanks.

Hey Guys, looking for suggestions on some of the lesser known but still significant musicians that I should check out. I know a guy that has 80,000 jazz records (all the Blue Note has been picked over) and I'd like to acquire some real gems from his collection, thanks.

John Frusciante seems to be very hip to Hi-Fi, that's some nice gear!
