There was some interest in a meetup this fall. I would be happy to host it at my house in St. Paul. I live in Highland Park, just north of the airport. I have a huge garage with a room up top that I would be happy to volunteer.
I am open October 19/20 or 26/27. We could also look into...
Just finished building these new full range speakers for my basement. I wanted something compact that would sound good in a small space.
Built using Aurasound NS3-193-8A1 3" Black Cone Fullrange drivers from Madisound. Built 2.5 ltr boxes, stuffed and sealed.
Please forgive the veneer...

Here are the parts and costs-

Battery - $30
Drivers from Leesonic - $40
Scrap wood - Free
I am building a passive preamp with a Radioshack pot. However it is not working correctly. I suspect it may be the way I have the pot hooked up. Can anyone take a look and help me out?
Built this passive preamp based off the ubiquitous Redboy HH design.
The parts were purchased from AK sponsor Partsconnexion. Cost was $40. Bought the wooden box at Joann Fabrics for $1.25.
Used a single coat of walnut stain on the box.
Sounds great. Now, I just need to...
I just got into soldering and building my own audio projects. Google and AK have been my friends in answering most of my questions. However, one question eludes me...
What wire do you guys recommend for amp, crossover and speaker building?
Links for purchasing would be extra appreciated!
I downloaded this app a week or so ago and I love it. I wanted to pass it along to you guys.
Access to a wide range of the Bluenote library for a $2 per month fee. The files are high resolution. The articles are great as well.

I recently purchased a set of Polk LSi-7s in Bartertown and my modified Magnavox 9302 tube amp did not seem up to the task of driving the new speakers. That put me on the hunt for a modern integrated amp. After much research online I decided to purchase a Yamaha A-S500.
The key factors in my...
A few of questions on this...
1. Is there a possibility of damaging my amp running a 4ohm load?
2. How would this increase the wattage of my amp (about 10-12 watts now).
3. Is there an upgrade that could be done to make this safer and better sounding (Edcors, rewiring, et al)?
Thank you...
Lately, I seem to spend all of my time lusting after system improvements instead of listening to my record collection. In light of this I will not purchase another piece of equipment until I listen to my entire jazz collection.

I bought this preamp recently and I am now having an issue. Any advice would be appreciated...
Preamp has a new linestage board and updated power supply. The tubes in the line stage new, while the tubes in the phono stage are not. I am unsure on the age and condition of the 12X4. I looked over...
I finally feel that I can post my system. I apologize for the pictures, but it is impossible to take a good picture in the basement. Not impossible, but I do not want to get out my tripod for my small system.

I recently got a small bonus for work, and I would like to get into Mcintosh. Can I get in the door with an amp or integrated for $500?
If yes, what would you recommend?
I am new to this whole game and I have a simple question. How do I add a power switch to my Magnavox 9302-10. I have been studying the spec and photos and I am still confused. I would like to keep the harness in place, so that I can place the amp back into the console for the summer months...

I currently use a 50 wpc Denon receiver to push my EPI500 speakers. Yesterday while my wife was away I turned the receiver almost all the way to the top and it did not seem to be stressing my speakers at all. This seemed really odd to me.
