    Ive had my Lascalas since 1981 as many of the old timers here in AK probably already know. Ive done some extensive mods to them in the last 6-7 years to include Crites A/4500 Crossovers, Crites CT-125 Tweeters, Atlas mid drivers and I also added ported risers back in 08. My next step was maybe...

    SpeakerLabFan knows his Vinyl!!

    I just wanted to mention that I bought a few records from Dick. Dio and Rainbow to be specific. Not only did they both arrive within a few days but they were boxed right too.

    Thank You Emmbee

    I bought a Carver C-1 pre amp from Mike last week. Got it in 4 days and he did an excellent job packing. It arrived safe and sound. The condition was just as he said. Even looks better then he described to me. The performance is just as i remembered. I had a C-1 from 1981-2010. The one I had...

    Lascala Re-Veneering Question

    Actually, maybe it's not re-veneering I want to do but make the cabs 1" thick. I have a pair of Lascalas I bought new in 1981. The cabinets are 3/4" black birch. I'd like to add 1/4" to them making the cabs 1". I've read that the new Lascalas are 1" and that helps cut out the resonating. If...

    RT-909 Rewind Getting Slow

    First, I am a self professed Technoidiot so I'm not sure what everything is called. I put a tape on this morning and it seemed to "jump" when it started causing the deck to shut down. Like the tension "arms" are not doing what they're supposed to and the tape was slack, causing the deck to...
