    My ultra-vintage setup: Restored 1959 Magnavox Cabs

    Hi folks, I shared this over in the tube audio forum, but honestly, this thing sounds so good and my buddy did such a kickass job on it over the last 6 months in his free time, I wanted to share with a slightly wider audience. Hope that's okay! Last Spring, I inherited a 1959 Magnavox Berkley...

    Help: Quiet Magnavox 185 with new TT

    Hi, all. I posted here about 5 years ago when I was refurbishing my Magnavox console (lots of photos in there for background). Thanks to all your help I was able to get my console working and we've had countless hours of enjoyment from it. The amp is a Magnavox 185 and everything has been...

    Another Magnavox 185 / 175 conversion

    I’ve done some of the mods I’ve found on this forum. Love this place by the way. 1. Separated the bias to the power tubes and removed it from the hum balance pot. 2. Removed the balance pot from the circuit. 3. Changed the NFB loop to a 100r resotore in series with a 47pf silver mica cap...
