    Anti-skating vs. "lateral balance" on Sansui SR-2050

    I'm sorry. I misread your post. I thought you were talking about the anti skate weight. My 2050C has gone to another home so I no longer have access to it or I'd measure the weight for you myself. Hopefully someone will chime in with the correct weight.

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

    At the time all I got, if I recall correctly, was the board and a BOM.

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

    As a lock down project I finally built the CNC phono. I bought the board in 2012. I've got it in a cigar box for now. Power is two 9v batteries. I want to add a power switch. My first thought was put the switch on one of the power rails but I notice that I get a little pop when installing...

    Finally a functional stereo cabinet

    Cheddarbob, Would you provide some details on the cabinets you have the 150FRs mounted in? I have a pair of these drivers and cannot really find any details on how big of a box they should be in or what sort of ports should be used or ....

    Where do I find cardboard mailers for LPs?

    I would take a look at Sleeve City or Bags Unlimited.

    TPA 3116 vs the tripaths

    If I'm reading the resistors correctly mine are sent for 32dB.

    TPA 3116 vs the tripaths

    Thanks! That's what I'll do with mine as soon as I get the bench cleared off. :) I have the two tube version of the 6n3 preamp.

    TPA 3116 vs the tripaths

    How did you lower the gain to 20dB? I've read that all you have to do is remove one resistor but then I've also seen a chart that indicates that you would have to also replace another resistor with a different value. What did you do?

    If you could hear it again for the first time. . .

    American Beauty is a good pick. I'd add Abbey Road and Climax Blues Band's FM Live. Very influential in my current musical tastes.

    Thanks for posting about the 6n3 pre mated with the TPA3116. I had been running an unmodded blue/black board with a stepped attenuator in our bedroom system. The mailman brought the little preamp yesterday afternoon (and dropped it on the concrete between the truck and the house). I hooked it...

    Heresy I mod advice

    I agree with KentTeffeteller and Dadbar. My Heresy I's have Crites tweeters and crossover mods. That made a BIG difference. I drive them with Bottlehead Paramour 2A3 monoblocs that I built myself when they first came out. The Heresys really go well with the 2A3s.

    Building a lathe so I can make wood horns

    I'll be watching this with great interest. I don't have room for a lathe that big. I've often thought of trying to do some HF horns on my old Craftsman. :lurk:

    Your first Klipsch speakers?

    I started out with Oiled Walnut thrift store Heresy's. The tweeters were blown but Bob Crites sent me a pair of diaphragms. When he came out with his tweeter upgrade I bought those and modified the crossover. After a few years I sold them to a very good friend. Regretted it but got them back...

    Keeping tube amps cool

    I use a fan on the Magnavox 8802 that I use in the garage. It gets pretty hot out there most of the year. In my office I recently did an experiment with a Magnavox EL84 amp that I felt was running too hot. The transformer got quite hot. I could still touch it but it was uncomfortable. I...

    Here It Is: The All Singing All Dancing HTMCPS

    Question about resistor calculation I'm getting ready to put in an order for parts. I want to get the proper resistors to run the HTMCPS with my DL103R or my buddy's DL103. The specs for the 103R list output impedance as 14 Ohms and the output as .25mv. That gets me 14 Ohms and 420 Ohms in...

    1960's? Magnavox Speaks, Grail or Trash.

    Can you remember where you might have read this? I know I have a pair of those horns around here somewhere. I've got a pair of Magnavox 15" woofers and maybe a pair of 12"s too.
