"Your entitled to your own opinion but Its funny how ya always takes the opposite stand of the majority. AK is not about conformity but I think your a troll plain and simple. Thats my opinion and like you I am entitled to it..." Guess what Grump? You are a troll, too. ;) Your opinion...

You guys think police will solve everything? I don't think so. But it may help you some relief. Andy already sold the desk, and this was a mistake. The guy thinks he got screwed. Hearing both sides of the stories I say Andy should give the guy the money he got by selling the desk for.

The Chinese government are not ignorant. They are extremely smart but they just don't care. You will be shocked if you go to places like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, all the big cities. They have the fastest rate of change in the world. They have 1/4 of all construction cranes in the...

Layoff is part of life. 16k people got layoff is no comparision to millions of people have no job in China, Germany, or US. I went thru at least 5 restructuring and guess what. I survive!

It is global market. There is no such thing as made in China or America. It is "made in the EARTH".

Quality quantity is all that counts.

Vintagenut, Ah so you are the guy. I thought you have discount for AK members :) Yeap that was the one for pickup in SF but the guy was nice enough to hand carried it to me. Cosmetically it is average so it is in my garage :sigh: Besides the treble knob is broken. No, I don't know...

All right Thatch. I'll not ask for any more opinions and will go ahead and buy the Orange Drops. Thanks for being patient with moron like me. :)

Bought it by BIN for $50 and found it had a cracking channel. I didn't plan to fix it because fixing electronics is beyond my dream, but when I look at the SX-1250 design I could see a symmetrical layout. Ahhh so I switched the boards next to the heatsinks and was so lucky to be able produce...

Yeah I remember when that console just listed on Craigs. I hope someone will make good thing out of it so I didn't try to get it. I felt bad when I dis-assembled a nice Ampex console not long ago so I decided to restore a Heathkit one to make up for my mistake. It is a shame for not to be...

I was using the info from Antique when I compared the two types of caps because I took Craig's opinion on "Just Radio". So are these metal film tubular caps in Antique worthless?

I can't believe it either because in Chinese there is a saying that fortunate things can't happen twice in a row while unfortunate ones can happen continuously. I've been hunting gears every Saturday weekend and garage sale is always the most unexpected and rewarding. This best hunting day...

Craig, Can the metal film tubular caps good enough to replace the old caps? They are almost 50% cheaper than orange drop. I don't like to improve quality unneccessarily. You know, the caps in this amp were built a long time ago and their quality can't come close to the film tubular caps...

Heeeeeerrrrrrrrr Marantz 2325 My favorite receiver brand. I always have a feeling that one day I will have my hands on one of these big guys in a dirt cheap way. :naughty: And my dream comes true... :banana:

SX1250 on epay for $50 I BIN it folks.

4311B's Waiting for my wife's magic touch. The cabinets was in a so so shape and she helped me polish them after I sanded them down. What a wife and I feel so blessed :)

Crver TFM15 Sounds perfect.

Here is the Marantz 6100 bell driven turntable.

Here is mine. I won on Epay an SX1250 for $50 and the guy offered to bring it to my house since he was on its way to visit his friend who also lives in the same area as mine. Then 30 minutes later I was cruising along my favorite garage sale spots. In a far distance I saw a pair of...

The panels already have holes for all drivers. All I need is the outside boxes which should be easy for someone who has a decent set of sawing tools. I hope!

I have 2 panels of speakers which I took out of a console. Now I want to put them in speaker boxes. I need someone local to help me make this happen. Any suggestions?

I did not ask you to buy in CA. I only suggest a way that you still can have the amp with a much lower price. The risk is someone may BIN but I sincerely think such risk is extremely low. Sorry if my comments rub you in a bad way. If you like the amp that much BIN is truly justified. :thmbsp:

I agree with Gordon about cabinet volume may help the woofers but I think slightly larger hardly make listeners notice any difference in sound. It got to be much larger to make an impact in sound. So when I compare the two I'd go for the looks and to me the pro version looks so beautiful mucho...

Too late now. But if I were Krimney I'd wait until the auction ends with NO buyer then low ball him $1300 or $1350 and he will be desparately glad to accept the offer. I'm almost sure that no one will buy it at that price with an 8 feedback seller. I know a guy in Northern CA who...

It is pro vs. amateur. There is no doubt in my mind which one is better.
