    JBL L3 Surprise!

    Such an interesting find! I’m refurbishing these JBL L3 speakers, and I was pulling the rubber grille grommets. Behind one on each cabinet, I found a serial number sticker that matched the serial number sticker on the back. It was just sitting behind the grommet in the hole, like a fortune...

    Rebuilding a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls

    Here’s a side by side of the finisher speaks and how they originally looked! Actually, they looked worse, as they had 1970s era brass casters/wheels on them and a bunch of dust! Now to start the second one… what did I do? Mahogany veneer, upgraded crossovers, bi-amp capability with a new set...

    Tandberg TR-2080 preamp help?

    I picked up a 2080 the other day, took a gamble on it I tested for $200. I figured I could get my money back out of it, even if I just parted it out. Well, the right channel works. The left doesn’t... kind of. If I run a signal straight into the amp side when I remove the jumpers, both play...

    HK CD191 speed issue?

    I grabbed a Harman Kardon CD191 cassette deck to fix up for a friend who wants to dabble in cassettes. If was free deck, and good for a starter. The belts are good and I got it to play a tape, but there was a bad hum. I looked at the power supply caps and they were not pretty. I replaced...

    Akai hiss in right channel?

    I’ve got an Akai AA-1050 that looks clean and sounds clean... except for a hiss in the right channel. What would cause that?!?

    Nikki help?

    I’ve got a Nikko NR-719 which ran fine for several years. It recently stated acting up in one channel. The left Chanel sounds like the bass is all distorted. The last piece of get I had something like this happen to (and Audiosource amp), I spotted a cap that was leaking. I replaced it, and...

    Audio Technica LS500 stylus suggestions?

    Ive got an AT-125LC that plays very well, and I know there are a few other stylus options that will fit it. I’ve also got this LS500, which I know is a good option. But, it needs a stylus. Are there any optional models to look at, or is the LS500 stylus my only option for this cart?

    Ortofon on a 1019?

    I picked up a really clean Dual 1019, and it has an Ortofon OM5e, which seems like a terrible matchup. Shouldn’t the 1019 avoid a low mass cart? It likes the heavy dudes, right?

    Ampex amps?

    I have a line on a pair of these little Ampex 2012 tube amps, but I can’t find much info on them... reviews, thoughts on possible mods, value, etc. there’s one on eBay, but that doesn’t really give me any review or upgrade possibilities. Soooo... anyone have or had a pair? (ebay pic for...

    JBL 18” neo drivers?!?

    Like I need another project... but, the idea of building something around the JBL 2268HPL is so tempting! It’ll handle 35hz to around 1khz, so a three-way system would be in order. Has anyone else played with these before...

    Thoughts on the IMF TLS50?

    Not looking at value so much, as I know it’s affected by geography, and I’ve read several posts that reference the 50... but, the people who are familiar with the IMF line may be able to answer a question. I can get a pair, I’ll need to source a new woofer for one. If I get them back to...

    Dual 1009 vs 1009sk plugs?

    I’ve had a 1009 in storage for years. It looks clean, but it doesn’t have a power plug. I recently got a super rough 1099sk, which I know is a somewhat different model with a few parts that aren’t interchangeable. I want to dig out the 1009, if the power cord and little connector will unplug...

    Dynaco PAT-5 headphones output?

    I’ve got a pat-5 that came with a stack of other Dynaco gear. I was testing it tonight, and it lights up. However, I didn’t get sound through the headphone jack. I haven’t run the outputs into an amp yet. My pat-4 worked just fine, and I assumed the 5 would just swap right in... nope. Where...

    JBL E110 8ohms in a transmission line?

    I know it’s really a midbass driver, but does anyone know how the e110 would sound in doing bass duty in a transmission line cabinet?

    Bluetooth or WiFi speakers in every room?

    what is a good way to go, if I want wireless music to play in the living room, play on the vintage system in the game room, and maybe even have a portable option to move outside on nice days? Should I look at all-in-one Bluetooth speakers, or is there away to incorporate more vintage audio into...

    Miles Davis reel?

    I spotted this tonight... it’s not a question about price/value/buying/selling, so I’d prefer if this doesn’t get moved to the bartertown section. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264059876029 It’s labeled as a Miles Davis rehearsal from the...

    What to do with this iron?

    I got this for a dollar today. I’m not sure what the piece originally did, but I saw the giant transformers and a spot for a 12ax7 tube... I was hoping these could make a nice hifi tube amp. Besides checking the thing for continuity on my meter, what else should I do to better understand what...

    ID this chassis?

    Went to an audio hoarder’s estate sale today. I picked up this chassis. It reminded me of some of the old Knight amps I’ve seen in the past. They had a ton of old pieces just piled up in the back yard, pulled from a shed. On a side note, the worker said someone pulled a McIntosh amp from the...
