    Pioneer Elite speakers?

    Has anyone heard these? Seems like $700 is a fair price if they sound as good as they look... https://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/d/weimar-pioneer-elite-tz-f700-speakers/7472605439.html

    Technics SB-7000a tweeter issues

    So, a dear AKer gifted me a pair of these tweeters with one of them not working. I hooked it up to my test amp with Treble maxed out and bass turned all the way down, and heard very faint music. The resistance measured was jumping all over the place. So, I removed the diaphragm and measured it...

    Is this Thorens (TD-124 - 3), worth $1k?

    Looks pretty decent, and looks like it comes with the armboard and arm. Not sure what cartridge it is. Seller said it was refurbished, but no detail. Looking at past AK posts, it seems this TD-121 is a lighter duty version of the TD-124, and changing belt speed takes more work, but still...

    Broken tinsel in a KEF B250 woofer from the 107/2

    So, my KEF woofer reads open, and found the tinsel broken by the cone. That portion of the tinsel is buried in hardened glue. Any idea on how to approach this repair?

    B&W speaker parts, not having any luck

    So, I have bought a few pairs of B&W speakers over the years with dented or destroyed tweeter domes, and have bought replacements from bwgroupsupport.com. Now it looks like they have outsourced it to encompass. I just bought a pair of 703 with blown tweeters and placed an order back in June...

    1099K to IRS if you have more than $600 sales in PayPal and eBay next year

    That would suck since I'm an occasional seller just to reduce my collection, and now I will need to pay taxes to IRS? How did it go from $20,000 to $600? That's a such low threshold. And I don't have receipts for used gear that I have bought from other AK members or from Craigslist....

    Infinity RS 2.5 - ouch!

    I had a pair and love the RS 2.5, but no more space so I listed for sale and no buyers, so ended up having to part out the parts. So, was browsing through eBay and I believe the seller changed it to auction just last week for local pick up, and sold today for $500, only!!? Was restored...

    Proof of value for lost shipping package?

    This is a first for me. I shipped a JBL woofer to an AKer, but FedEx tracking shows it's being stuck somewhere in NM for a week now. Calling customer service did not help. So, I want to force them to track it down by submitting a lost package claim, where it asked me to provide proof of...

    Great AKer rossm

    I was researching replacement tweeters for my Kef 104/2 and came across some old threads, and reached out to Mark for some additional details. He was very helpful, and then offered up his replacement tweeters at a price I can't refuse, and received them two days after he shipped them out...

    TD John - great AKer

    I had a Marantz receiver listed on BT, and John reached out with some questions. It was a great two way conversation, I guess he trusted me based on the info I gave him. I laid out the cost of PP fees, shipping , etc., and he had no argument. Shipping cost alone was over $100 !. He let me...

    Marantz 2270 prices vs 2325

    I know...another Marantz price question that no one cares for anymore. It's just that I see people listing their 2270's at 2325 prices. Although I don't see any 2325 offered up for sale anymore on CL nowadays. Do you see the same in your local market? the 2270 has reached the iconic status...

    Old Marantz speaker, one capacitor off of woofer, only one leg connected

    So, picked up a pair of Marantz CS 1225 , three way speakers, pretty cheesy with no insulation inside, funky plastic driver trims to look like aluminum, and screw terminal connectors in the back. I pulled the woofer, and there's a 33uF capacitor connected to (-) wire of the woofer, but the...

    Would you do this to your Tannoys?

    This seller is asking $3000 and was proud that he replaced the surrounds with the red CV surrounds. Why would anyone do that and if you were a Tannoy fan, would you still pay $3000 for them?? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ele/d/hayward-tannoy-berkeley/7252994808.html

    Looks like Dave Culver's ad

    This is new. Instead of the usual bling, he's offering untested, need work type of gear. More believable for $200. But the format of the ad is all Dave. (628) is a new overlay in SF, and his name is now Don. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/ele/d/san-francisco-marantz-2270/7187237826.html
