    Ten years (plus) later, still my FAVORITE Bookshelf Speakers!

    Hi all, I suspect old timer AK'ers are sick of hearing my saying this however (I just can't help it) because I'm just so blown away by the sound/Music/performance of my pair of BOZAK B201A Sonora Bookshelf Speakers (FREE-Transfer Station find) from over ten years ago. I have now decided to...

    To repair or not to repair ? That is the question.

    Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023. Well, I took a ten dollar gamble and purchased a vintage 55 Watt "Realistic" Receiver. All I knew about this Receiver was that it appeared to "power on". This "Realistic" Receiver is in lovely (physical looking) condition (inside and out) however, once...

    NORH 4.0 (Mono/single) Speaker tube amp question.

    Hi all, Firstly, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our AK members and their families. OK, I recently was gifted a single lovely/unique NORH 4.0 Speaker. I played the NORH Speaker using my Mono 2A3 Amp (3.5 Watts) and while the Speaker did play, the volume was very low'ish/moderate volume. So, I then...

    Hi all, Firstly, I want to wish all our AK members (an early) "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year". OK, I waited several days before posting anything about my (possible) new Toy until I was sure it was a done deal and I had the Speakers in my Home. I did some "Horse Trading" with a...

    Hi all, Firstly, might any AK'er own and/or have listened to the new MoFi Sourcepoint 10 Speakers and, if so, I'd love to hear your impressions of the new Andrew Jones creation. That being said, I am thrilled that Speaker designers/manufactures appear to be heading back the "Retro"...

    I vow not to be condescending regarding the topic of "Presbycusis" (that means hearing loss).

    Hi all, All joking aside, I have what I think is an interesting question regarding "Single Ended Triodes" Amps (and Speakers) as related to aging hearing loss. Allow me to preface before I continue. As I age, my hearing (or lack thereof) is somewhat questionable at times. I do have...

    Hi all, Well, it appears my POLK Monitor 10 doesn't like my ALLIED 333 and loud'ish volumes playing the Soundtrack CD from "TWIN PEAKS" (Angelo Badalamenti). It's been (at least) a couple of years or more since I listened to/played my (Goodwill find eight dollars the pair) POLK Monitor 10...

    Technics SL-110 Turntable, I want a DIFFERENT Tonearm. Can it be done ?

    Hi all, I have (in storage) a Technics SL-110 Turntable with a SME 3009 (I think Mk.ll) Tonearm. I find this Tonearm TOO "Funky", that is to say, too complex for my taste. My Turntable (so I am told) was designed for the SME Tonearm (which is in perfectly excellent condition). That...

    Yikes! What a GOOF BALL I am! Four Ohm Speakers, NOT eight Ohms.

    Hi all, Man, I don't know how I missed/screwed up on the following. I was just reading an old thread on both Tube Amps and appropriate Speakers. I was researching the "sensitivity" of my vintage EMI 529 DLS Speakers (does anyone happen to know this information ?). At any rate, I saw...

    Tubes to keep my Bedroom warm this Winter!

    Hi all. Oooh, the Winter weather will soon be here here in Maine. So, I've been playing around with some of my Vintage Audio Gear/System(s) as to enjoy some tunes this indoor Winter season.

    Got the "BUG" to try/experiment with something "different" but the same.

    Hi all, I truly enjoy listening to my vintage EMI (DLS) 529 Speakers. The EMI 529 speakers "tick off" a lot of boxes for me being not too big/heavy (24" H x 13"W x 12" D) being very sensitive and easy to drive using my FISHER 400 Tube Receiver. I very much enjoy the EMI's "polite" English...

    Might the "Schiit Mani" be the "best bang for the buck" Phono Preamp ?

    Hi all, I'm in the process of having a very basic/simple vintage Belt Drive Pioneer PL-514 Turntable set up which I'm hoping will suffice my TT needs. I don't often spin LP's however, I'm sort of excited at the prospect of once again having a TT back in my system(s). Since I developed...
