I'm posting this on 6% battery from my phone on the car ride home... But this score just couldn't wait, I had to let AK know... My dad and I are currently transporting a beautiful, fully restored pair of Sentry IVB's to their new home. SCORE!!!!!! More details to follow. I hope the photo...

Nothing extraordinary here, but it certainly pulls its weight. Speakers: JBL LSP-2325P monitors, bought from AK's own "dew" :thmbsp: Headphones: AKG Q701 Headphone amp/DAC: FiiO E7 Source: MacBook Pro

Got sent one of these guys' covers and really loved it. I know YouTube is abysmal in terms of bit rate and compression, but it's the easiest way to share, so here... "We Are Young" (Boyce Avenue cover) "Somebody That I Used To Know" (Boyce Avenue cover) "My Sacrifice" (Boyce Avenue...

Hi all, I'll be documenting my restoration of this rather sad pair of KG4's in this thread. The culprits have seen much better days: Guess what - 3 out of 4 woofers are dead! Totally open circuit. :D The one that "works"... ...well, it sounds like the voice coil was...

Hey all, In the process of SLOWLY powering up our (recently finished, we hope) Maggie 142A, our 12 amp Staco variac (model 3PN1010B) started heavily smoking. In addition to not finding out anything about whether out amp restoration was a success, we now have a no-good variac. :thumbsdn...

As I continue refurbishing our pair of 142A amps, I want to replace the original speaker output socket. I have new binding posts from PE that I would like to install, but need help with how to wire them into the circuit - I'm just confused about how the existing output is wired, as there are...

We've just purchased a non-working Dyna 416 off of Craigslist. The seller couldn't tell me much about the condition or what the issues were, and until I can get a variac I will wait to power it up. My father and I don't have electronics backgrounds, other than the few Dyna kit amps my father...

So we've had the sales forum die, and now people are not wanting to receive all the For Sale ads that are being sent through the one (1) (uno) (I) email list that we have. But I think I have a solution. Why not request the creation of a subforum right here on AK? I would assume that more than...

Hello all, After a great summer working as a counselor up at Interlochen Arts Camp, I came back to several vintage mid-fi SS components, all in need of some degree of repair. Since I lack the knowledge, patience, and courage to attempt the repairs myself, I want to have a tech do the work for...

(This is all copied over from my thread at AVS Forum, so don't mind the post dates.) Hello everyone! Welcome to the chronicles of our trials, errors, and (hopefully) successes in creating a multimedia room. The room is 153.75" x 230.5", with an 82.5" suspended ceiling. Here's a "before"...

Hi everyone, Is there anyone near Ann Arbor that has a tube tester that they'd be willing to let us use? We just got our first tube amp, a Magnavox 142 (http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=363059), and would like to stop by and use it for an afternoon. Perhaps we can have a coffee...

Hi everyone, We finally have our first (restorable) tube amp! It's a Maggie 142, and we're really excited to get it up and running. :D Just one question, as this is our first amp restoration... We have found all of the capacitor values, except one. There is a mysterious "20µF 25V"...

Even in the midst of the rewire of my Maggie MG-I's, I still managed to drag home a pair of EPI 500's. Photos will follow, once I wrestle them out of the car (DO NOT try to get these into a VW Beetle, trust me). Has anybody had success in finding foam surrounds for the midrange drivers on...

Just thought I would share some of the genius that is Seth MacFarlane's "Family Guy". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQorcG5NNc

This is mainly for Gordon, but I'm asking a general question. I'm starting to get into the whole DJing thing, and while my Boston A60s sound fine when listening to jazz, classical, and alternative rock, they start to struggle a bit when I put on electronic dance music. I've noticed that...

Parts Express has a DeoxIT "Survival Kit" of sorts on sale today for 23% off. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=341-246

Boy do these sound phenomenal. My mom even came down to listen, which NEVER happens, and she left wholly impressed. Thanks a bunch to Bill (cableguy) for holding these for me until I could afford them. I'm enjoying them so much already. Next up, electrostats... :scratch2:

The Oberlin Conservatory just got a brand new recording studio, and my dad got invited down by the head engineer. It just so happens that the Arianna String Quartet was recording that day, so I got to hear them play Beethoven Op. 18. Truly a phenomenal experience. I can't describe it past...

Any ideas? I'm not very well-versed in modern tube gear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaez_4m9mQ&feature=player_embedded

Hi all, In considering the restoration of our Dynaco PAS-3, I came across these "drop-in replacement" power supply and phono/line stage replacement boards. http://www.audioregenesis.com/products/PAS/index.html Has anyone gone this route with their Dynaco gear, and if so, do you feel...
