I have a Harman Kardon A402 that is really clean, but someone wiped most of the lettering off of the faceplate, which apparently is something that is easy to do on these particular units. I have been searching in vain for a replacement with the lettering fully intact, but these units are...

This video is pretty cool. However, is it possible to use thing on a regular ol' solid state home stereo amp/receiver? If so, just use the same thing that this creator made and use it? Where in the amp/receiver, though?

Wait. What?

@ChicagoTom is a scholar and a gentleman. I recently traded equipment with him and he stepped me through the process of packing amps correctly. Great guy! Buy or sell to him with the utmost confidence that you are getting a good deal.

@BigscreenBob is a great seller. Nice n quick and the manual was packed incredibly well. Nothing was going to happen to the manual with that packing.

That's really cool looking. Can you share close up photos of this with the lid open?

I believe that it is the same as this (and probably what @leesonic was referring to?): https://www.parts-express.com/TriTrix-MTM-TL-Speaker-Components-And-Cabinet-Kit-Pair-300-702?quantity=1

You think that will go sufficiently low enough? My listening room is only about 12'x15'. Maybe? Something like that.

Have you ever built a tower speaker kit from Parts Express? I'm kinda looking into it right now. If you did, do you like them? What's your favorite?

If you don't have a bust of the USA's 27th president, William Howard Taft, as a headphone stand, can you really call yourself an Audiophile? I think not, my friend.

OK, thanks guys. I just ordered a pair of new caps, will install and then check out the sound. If it all comes to nothing, I'll just make them shine like new and sell 'em locally for cheap

I recently bought a set of Utah as-2ax speakers from a thrift store for just a couple of bucks. They're small, clean, and are very nice example of mid-century modern design. I'm looking at the caps inside and they read 4 - 50VDNP. The 50VDNP obviously means 50 volts DC non-polarized, but the 4...

I just recently picked up an Onkyo TA-R301, but I had a guy in another thread telling me that it was a crap model. That unit just got dropped off at a tech's house to get the speed adjusted and anything else that it may need. Seems like a nice unit to me, but I don't know nothing about tape...

I'm sorry, yeah, I should've stated that I'm looking for recommendations on used units only.
