    First home set up need helpppp

    For sound? I'd take the Bostons all day. (however, the foam woofer surrounds will cause pain sooner or later) That being said, JBL You will be able to find parts and service if needed. The woofer surrounds are pleated cloth. Keep in mind, I re-foamed an old set of Boston Acoustics A40 series...

    My system (Crown amplifier controversy busted)

    Years ago, as a gigging musician, my bass amp needed to go for a repair. A bandmate / friend loaned me a Crown PowerBase 1, used a GK as a preamp, and played a couple of gigs with it. I ended up buying it from him (with a blown channel). Still have it, still enjoy it, wish I could fix or pay...

    Holy Grail Turntables

    Must say, certainly enjoy seeing these classic decks, especially the ones with a 'gear shift' Reminds me of the ones I used at the radio station

    Holy Grail Turntables

    Although we could talk for hours about idler vs belt vs direct... and price points and presentation, this is the one with staying power. It hauls the mail.

    $1,000 budget - Which table do you buy?

    This is the wheel of steel, it hauls the mail. You could spend a ton of money trying to get there, but this is already there. There are surely tons of vintage turntables (that will likely need work) and modern (which will likely cost dearly) trying to compete with the 1200. I bought mine...

    Speaker factory - dual 8" tower - anyone know these?

    Fell completely in love with the K.E.F. C40 the first time I heard them, I lean towards contemporary jazz, they serve the music very well. Not sure I'd call them 'towers' but they might be your cup of tea, A friend of mine bought C30's (single woofer version) and I bought them from him. But...

    Can an Amplifier make this huge difference in sound?

    (warning... mostly pro audio content below) Over the years of using electric bass amplification of various price points and power levels, I had the good fortune to use a couple of bass amps that had a tube in the preamp section. All of the solid state amps that I ever used, I found myself...

    What is YOUR pet peeve? Let's have a laugh.

    Poor road quality!!!! In Washington state we pay sky high road tax on our fuel, yet our roads are literally wheel - cracking, suspension - damaging mine fields of pot holes and bumps!!! Grrrrr :mad:

    Which Choice would you Make?

    A tt is supposed to spin at a consistent RPM and be quiet. You can do that with old gear and new gear. I paid $400 for my SL1200 mk 2, I got in before the prices went sky high (roughly 12 years ago). There is a reason why people still talk about and buy Technics - best of luck. to you

    Requesting Purchase Advise JBL L19

    Re-foaming the woofs might be a bit difficult... but you know what they say about assuming. Here's why - after re-foaming my Boston Acoustics A40's, it seemed like a bit of tedious work, but worth the effort. The surrounds glue to the frame from the front, and glue to the cone from the front...

    US Navy Captain shooting rifle.

    In my Navy days, had the privilege of firing the 1911, M14, M60, and M2 Target shooting remains a favorite hobby of mine, no full autos (couldn't afford to feed them anyway)

    Which Choice would you Make?

    If I was willing and able to throw $$ mentioned.... I'd go for a Technics SL1200GR2, a couple of headshells, and a couple of new cartridges

    Just got my first vintage turntable, a Technics SL-5 what should I do to keep it running for another 40 years.

    Congrats on the functional SL5 !! You might want to try vinylengine ...they seem to have knowledgeable folks with the Technics linears. I have an SL7 that I bought new around 1986., it is near and dear to me (Ortofon TM14 cart) Search sl5, sl7, sl10, etc...
