    Help wanted: Celestion, KEF or Monitor Audio speakers?

    Hi all!!! I am setting up a vintage listening room and currently have available: - Dual 1229 turntable with Stanton 681 or liquid music - LEAK Stereo 70 or Fisher X-100 amplifier.

    Which To Keep And Refurbish

    Hey everyone, hope I am not breaking any rules with this first post, but I have just arrived, and I am still getting costumed (used to be more active around here, but the latest years draw my focus elsewhere!) to the AudioKarma way =) TLDR: I need help choosing which devices to keep and restore...

    Custom Terminal Build

    I'm finally addressing an issue that started, round about ten years ago, broken speaker terminals on my Fisher CA-2120 Integrated amplifier. I've been using this as a pre-amp for the Hafler P500 amplifier since the speaker terminals were junk. After the first two, the A and B R+'s broke, I wired...

    Fisher Preference STV-9030 Satellite Speakers

    Hey, I got these some time ago for a song (pun alert). I cannot find anything on them via Google--nothing. Zero. Thoughts? Fun info: They actually come with a "Superwoofer," the Fisher Preference SW-9030. See pics below. The construction and materials actually seem solid, which is often not...

    Fisher 400/500/800 vs Dynaco ST-70/PAS

    Hey everyone. I am thinking through a choice. I have a PAS preamp that works nicely. Do I A) buy it a matching, ready-to-go ST-70 amp, or do I B) sell the PAS and consolidate into a Fisher receiver? I have the tuners I need, so that really does not play into the equation. Financially, either one...

Right now I’ve decided to make a folding table to mount inside a cabinet underneath the TV stereo system that came in the RV, it’s the only viable space and it’s in the...

    In need of help (again) identifying some mystery (allegedly Fisher 125) transformers

    I got these from a friend who got them decades ago from a guy who said they were out of a pair of Fisher 125s. I believe he laid eyes on them as he said he passed on the transformers, but the number of pins on a 125AX opt transformer on the schematic is far greater in number than what is on...
