    Bluetooth receiver to hook to an audio system. What's out there, where to start??

    Went through the same thing just recently. No cables. Looked online and found a lot of reviews for a Logitech at 5 stars. Works very well and easy to connect. Found it at my local BB on sale for 22 bucks! https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/bluetooth-audio-adapter?crid=1548

    Cleaning Tube Pins -- De-Oxit or Tri-Flow or ???

    Believe or not, use a fresh crisp dollar bill! This is trick that I had learned from an HVAC tech to clean ignitor or low pressure gas probe. Use it like a strip of sandpaper around each pin and soak the sockets in Deox. If you think you need a more expensive cleaner to do the job, you could...

    Time for new old speakers!!

    Update. Starting digging around the local area and found a set of sleepers. I picked a set of Frazier Mk IV for $50.00! Well thought of from the few posts that I found. Apparently the owner and Paul Klipsch were good friends and shared some of the same design thoughts on the Mk IV and the...

    Not all Jensen Advents are bad

    Cant help but feel the love for the Advent stuff. Currently working on some OLA's (complete rebuild), but in my listening area are a pair of Advent 6003's that sound amazing!! When other audio friends hear them, they are surprised how well they sound. I haven't had the opportunity to listen to...

    Sweet post to see a fellow AK'er from NWA!!! Since Stereo One closed and lost the "TECH" finding service varies on what work you are needing.

    What audio brand do you not own that you hope/plan to in the future?

    Love my 70's gear but its time to breakdown and buy my first Thoren's table (want to understand the love). Speakers to upgrade to Klipschorn or some LaScala II (heard both and even had a demo with some with my gear). Both of these can handle the big boy Akai!!

    Don't want to smoke anything! Advice Please..
