    Manual or information for Fisher DS-826 Speakers?

    Does anyone have the original manual, or have specifics on the drivers in these speakers? I am trying to get my dad's old speakers back into shape. These came with a rack system he bought in the mid-80's. Woofers are in good shape, and still sound great, but the tweeters and midrange drivers...

    Here's a different take on the home theater setup and how I actually went backwards. Background: I'm not so much into running a mess of speakers in the TV/living room. Instead, I wanted two channels of good, theater-like sound. We run Pandora, youtube and all of that through the stereo in the...

    Fisher 500c Phono Stage Replacement Tubes

    I just picked up my first tube amp, a Fisher 500c. The phono section of the amp has been recapped, but when using it, there is a lot of tube noise, I think a little too much. I do not think those tubes have been replaced, so I'd like to do that. Looks like they are spec'd as 12AX7 tubes, but...
