    Replacing Vol. Pot and removing Dynaco Pas Loudness function

    I'm working on my Dynaco Pas restoration and it is coming along nicely! I have one quick question about the loudness function: If I replace the 250k volume pot with a 100k stepped attenuator, do the resistors need to be included anywhere? The below link reuses them in their guide for loudness...

    SDS Labs power supply & Dynaco Pas - quick question, regarding "line"

    Actually, I figured it out! One wire from one terminal to the next. Doh! Little underwhelmed by this preamp..she will need a lot or work!

    SDS Labs power supply & Dynaco Pas - quick question, regarding "line"

    Greetings! I have one quick (newbie) question regarding the Dynaco pas power supply and the "line" connections. When Sheldon at SDS says "insert in series with one transformer primary (black) wire", what I would want to do is connect two wires going from the last outlet prongs in the series...

    Received Technics SL-20 with Broken V15 type II Super Track Stylus

    I would point out that the stylus he suggests are not of the same quality. If he gives you gruff, open a case and send everything back on his dime. Such a shame!

    Another Super High End Phono Stage! No expense spared...

    Where did you find your 49990's? I checked all the online electronics supply houses, and it seems these opamps are now obsolete? I'm thinking about importing them direct from china, but would love to buy from a more reputable source, if possible. -David

    3-Speed Turntable Recommendations?

    With your budget in mind, I would also second the recommendation of a Dual 1019. They are simple enough to work on, perform wonderfully, and support your needs. I own two (among other tables). The only downside is the sled cartridge, which requires periodic cleaning to function 100%. Not a...

    quick question about spindle to pivot distance...

    So, I picked up a Miida 3115 turntable, also known as the Denon GT-700 / SL-7D. Like always, I looked on vinyl engine for the spindle to pivot distance to dial in the correct measurement on my feikert alignment tool, but unfortunately there's no spindle to pivot distance! I noticed they give...

    1960's Coral 15L-2 Speakers, from the land of the rising sun!

    Hi! I was wondering if you guys could help me..I have recently purchased some kit speakers that were brought over to the west from Japan in the 1960's, and I'm just trying to get a value on them! I actually did not want the speakers, because the enclosures themselves were roughly 2 x 3'...

    Technics SL-1200 Mk2 buy or pass?

    I just purchased a SL1200 mk2 and SL1200 M3D for $125.00 ea. from a local pawn shop. I have already put an additional $175.00 into the M3D, but it looks awesome and sounds great! Purchasing a new tonearm really makes these tables really shine! If you can work on turntables, you're getting a...

    Aurora OH AR3A pair, AR7

    Thank you! I wheeled them home, put on an album that means a lot to me, and immediately started to tear up from the dynamic presentation. :)

    Aurora OH AR3A pair, AR7

    $150, but everything was open to offers. I'm sure someone could have offered $45-$50 and the owner would have accepted. They also had a really interesting mono speaker there but I couldn't see what kind of driver was in there...regretting not investigating that one!

    Aurora OH AR3A pair, AR7

    I made a very respectful but still great offer on the pair, 2 stands, and some technical and advertising sheets, and they accepted! I'm not going to lie, not cheap! But will hold me over until I go pick up my other pair in MA at my mom's house. The former owner also removed the potentiometer...

    Aurora OH AR3A pair, AR7

    Ar2x cabinet woodworking question (with pic!)

    http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/repair-sanded-veneer/ Sounds very similar to my problem. I'm thinking I might try a stain gel and feathering in to color the wood. If anyone has any pointers for applying a gel stain, I'm all ears! Definitely just going to hand sand for the next cabinet!

    Ar2x cabinet woodworking question (with pic!)

    Hi guys! I picked up an ar2x for next to nothing. I'm planning to use the cloth woofer and grill for a set of ar2ax speakers I have laying around, so this seemed like a good opportunity to test my (lack of) refinishing skills on the cabinet. What you see is a cabinet that has been stripped...

    Acoustic Research L-Pad Attenuator..looking for smaller dial

    You bet! This is actually for odd pair of two early ar2a and ar2x speakers, not the 3a. I looked on classicspeakerspages.net and they recommended the correct resistor and this lpad. Imagine the glum loom on my face once I realised they did not match! I'm not going to complain though, because...

    Acoustic Research L-Pad Attenuator..looking for smaller dial

    I have read from a couple users that people feel the ohmite pots are a little overpriced. Also, even after installation, one user had to disassemble and clean because of distortion within a short period of time. For this project I need to stick within a strict budget, so unfortunately it's...

    Acoustic Research L-Pad Attenuator..looking for smaller dial

    Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone has an appropriate looking knob/dial for the lpad often used for acoustic research restorations? http://www.parts-express.com/speaker-l-pad-attenuator-15w-mono-3-8-shaft-8-ohm--260-248 What is included just looks cheap! I'm looking for something a...
