    Hello from Sacramento

    Good Evening: I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but I wanted to send a message to those AK'ers in the Sacramento area. I purchased a Roberts 990 /Akai M-6 tube Reel to Reel off the Shopgoodwill website about a week and a half ago (07/10/16), but am unable to pick it up (It's...

    P.S.S. My apologies as I wasn't trying to hi-jack this thread, but thinking I was posting a reply just to Mech986. Again my apologies.

    Falcon Acoustics LS3/5A build

    Good Day Mech986: I just contacted the Yahoo group about some speakers I found here in Portland Oregon at a Goodwill. I believe they may likely be "Too Good to be True," but stranger things have happened. I may have stumbled upon 2 Swisstone Gold-Badged LS3/5a's sequentially numbered...

    Realistic STA-2100D Score!

    STA-2100D Adjustments I just picked up a 2100D at GW for $30. Hard to find too good a deal at GW anymore, but I feel happy with mine. This forum has talked about the 2100 vs 2100D on a number of levels. I've been able to download a Service Manual for the 2100 from HiFiEngine (thanks guys)...

    Craigslist: Portland, OR

    Phase Linear-Phishing??? I saw that Phase Linear 400 as well and was drooling at the thought. You can see that it's still listed today. I wonder if it was just a fishing attempt to get email addresses. This happened to me after responding to a "Free" ad on Craigslist. I hope someone who...

    Fisher RS-100 RS-200 RS-1000 RS-2000 Series Library Reference Thread

    RS 2004-A Find Good Day Cbottorff: Thank you for all you work in this area. I just picked up a very clean RS 2004-A today at Goodwill for $10. I know from reading up on it that the 1000 series is better, but it's my first vintage Fisher after all. Do you have a service manual to the...

    Craigslist: Portland, OR

    Thanks for that Susurus! I'll lay off the series idea and just stick to using my more powerful receivers. That way, I'll be less likely to hurt things by drawing out too much current into those four ohm 20's.

    Mad Town I've only been in Mad town a handful of times, but my uncle did his graduate work at the U of W there. I will seek more technical assistance on another thread, but I wasn't really looking to run 2 sets of speakers. Instead, I was trying to think of a way to bump up the impedance so...

    Craigslist: Portland, OR

    re: Goodwill KLH 20 find Hey Bucky: an off topic question, but I'm guessing you're in some way related to the U of W at Madison. Anyway, I picked up 2 KLH 20's in great shape at the Eastside Goodwill Outlet last week for $5.:yes: In studying up on them, I note they are the 4 ohm...

    Craigslist: Portland, OR

    Hi All: not a craigslist find, but a Salvation Army special. For you Realistic fans out there, a nice (8.5 of 10) set of Realistic Solo 3-B's (2-ways both with papercones) for $25 in Hillsboro. Today was a half-price day, so it would have been $12.50. Not really what I need right now, but a...

    (Advent Speakers) What Is All The Fuss?

    Stacked New Large Advent Mods Thanks! I think that's the better way to go given my limited experience with x-overs and audio dynamics and given the great step-by-step that zilch et. al put into the econowaving thread. I'm sure this will keep me busy for a while, as long as I don't get...

    (Advent Speakers) What Is All The Fuss?

    Stacked New Large Advent Mods I had looked at the econowave idea (described so nicely in that thread). That keeps them as 2-ways, but does the horn set-up really extend down into the mid range enough? That is, does it fill in what some have described as a bit of a mid-range hole in the...

    (Advent Speakers) What Is All The Fuss?

    Stacked New Large Advent Mods Hi All: I've been waiting in the wings awhile and have a question now about modifying NLA's to use in the stacked configuration. I picked up 4 NLA's (newer versions with the foam vs. the earlier insulation) at SA for $6 each. All woofers refoamed, but only 2 of...
