    (Building a) Case for Sansui 4000

    Thanks for the suggestions I'll keep an eye out on line to see what turns up but may just get one built, as that avoids the question of what to do with the "donor" amp. I appreciate all the input from you guys!

    (Building a) Case for Sansui 4000

    sansui specs for case Turns out I have all the original documentation that came with the 4000 and that includes a giant diagram for the cabinet on one of these things. It's titled Sansui 4000 Custom Mounting and shows a diagram and all the precise measurements for a cabinet for the 4000...

    (Building a) Case for Sansui 4000

    spare amp nope wasn't the original question but might be a worthy alternative. I hadn't even thought of that option, it's worth thin' about. Just have to be careful of breaking the golden rule about accumulating more old gear...

    (Building a) Case for Sansui 4000

    I have a Sansui 4000 that doesn't have a case; it came to me that way. Is there a point to looking for one somewhere online or should I just have one built? I'd rather find an original but IF they just aren't around/available...well, you know.

    headset w/mic rec?

    cheap mike might be ok for a time or two.. ...you'll think i'm whacked but I actually do the occasional conference call using my ATH M50's and a plastic Tucan Sam mike (Tucan Sam and a mike sitting on top of a 3" tall palm tree) that I got free for a couple of boxtops or something from a...

    Official Grateful Dead Thread

    1976-06-29 Auditorium theater has anybody else run across this August 6, 1976 show with the relatively rare Mission in the Rain? And then there's the June 14, 1976 Beacon Theater show...maybe my favorite '76 show. The Help/Slip/Franklin is pretty sweet, especially the loooong slipknot...

    recommendation for tech in NW Vermont?

    I'm considering having my old Sansui 4000 gone thru in the near future and am wondering if anyone can point me at a reliable tech in the NW VT area. I'm hoping to find someone within driving distance rather than having to deal with shipping. The unit seems fully functional and sounds decent...

    Sony TC-630

    manuals... yeah I have a scanner. when I get a few dull minutes I'll scan them and see if I can figure out how to attach them here... So I scanned the TC630 manual & the schematic but the file for the manual is about 80MB so i figured i shouldn't attach it here. I stuffed it into a shared...

    Sony TC-630

    a year later.... I find checked this TC630 out. Found the manual, reels and even the original schematic tucked in the back of the manual. The most beautiful thing of all is it's completely intact and everything works except i have no mics so couldn't check that. Previous owner apparently...

    Etymotic MC5 what's up with the filter?

    well, I took the filters out and I guess it made a small improvement, but nothing earthhaking. Slightly better bass response, more limber, if that makes any sense. I think they're generally a little clearer, more honest but maybe it's just my ears, or the power of suggestion. Anyway, I like...

    Etymotic MC5 what's up with the filter?

    I just received a pair of Ety MC5's as a gift and wondered about the filter that's in them. They come with a tool to remove & replace the filter. The brochure made it sound like the filter was to "smooth" the music so I'm wondering if just taking them out and leaving them out would be...

    Sony TC-630

    I came upon a Sony TC-630 in the back of a closet in a house I recently bought - can anyone tell me if this would be considered a good find? It turns on and all the lights come on, meters etc but I have no tapes to test it out. It has the speakers that came as part of the cover with it and all...

    Sansui 4000 find for free

    Thanks for all the input! As it turns out we got the closing done and the 4000 is now mine. It has no case, apparently that was done away with when they shoe-horned it into an old console. I took it out of there and hooked it up to the big old speakers and it sounds pretty darn good. A...

    Sansui 4000 find for free

    Thanks everybody! Once we get closed and I can get it out in the light & take pics I'll post some. The console thing it was transplanted into has two free-standing (well, rolling actually on wheels) speakers, heavy wooden cabinets with what look like volume knobs on the outside. No other...

    Sansui 4000 find for free

    I'm in the process of buying a house and the sellers asked if they could just leave behind the few remaining pieces of furniture etc in the house so we said sure.... well last nite I was poking around and decided to look thru the dumpy old console stereo in the dining room (of all places) and...

    AR TSW315's worth re-foaming?

    Thanks for the steer to audacity - I have it but hadn't realized it did that (I don't use it a whole lot!). Tracking says the kit is enroute and should arrive today...and it so happens the next 4 evenings are free as the Mrs is headed off to a conference....gotta love it when a plan falls into...

    AR TSW315's worth re-foaming?

    Thanks for the encouragement and the link to the tutorial- that's pretty helpful, makes me feel a little braver anyway. I'll probably leave the capacitors for another day; I seem to be challenged when it comes to soldering! I'm not sure if the kit I ordered has a cd with the test tone - if...
