rare

Hello, does anyone have the manual for either the Project One Mark 1500, or Telefunken TR-1500 DC?

I recently bought a seemingly rare red Technics SL-6 from Japan. I don’t know much about the red variants(didn’t even know they existed until recently) other than they were perhaps only sold in Japan?? I have experience working on turntables and especially love the jacket-size Technics linear...

Hey audiophiles; Looking for some advice and or direction on an old school magnavox cabinet. Definitely seems to be unique, as I haven’t found a similar cabinet online so far. Ended up getting it for 40$. Even got some bonus 8 tracks. Van Halen, Aerosmith, Steve miller band and Styx! Thought...

First time poster here! Been collecting records for about 15 years now, but just recently got into the speaker/gear side of things so if anyone could help me out here that'd be awesome. Was out hunting for equipment this morning and found an old vintage pair of speakers, "Wald Model 800C", at a...

Anyone have any leads on a ride from Austin, TX to DC/MD/VA for a pair of rare Cerwin-Vega 313's? Or even just a place for them to park in Tejas so Goodwill doesn't give them away before I can move them? I bought a pair new in the late 70's, still have them and love them, and this pair would...

So I have a tps l2 that's almost completely working again but suddenly the microphone stopped working. The only thing it picks up is if I blow into it or if i tap the microphone. I measured the resistance over the wires and on the connection on the board but all seem to be fine. I assume the...

I spotted a pair of these at a junk shop not-yet-priced for sale. The cabinets and grills look great, but I have no idea what's under the hood. The back panel states 3 way, 20-40 watts at 16 Ohms. I can't find anything anywhere on these speakers on the internet and I'm intrigued, but not sure...

Have of pair of these, they seem pretty decent and sound nice but nothing comes up online when I search for them. Wondering if anyone has ever heard of these or knows anything about them.

I got this pristine quality silver Yamaha PF-50 for 25€ but i have only seen pictures online in black. Is my turntable rare or is there other reasons i don't see silver ones anywhere ere online?

Good morning audiokarma! I am brand new to the site and wanted to get your opinion. I had the chance to purchase the most rare Marantz in perhaps the world! Why, because it is Marantz 2325 completely brand new, still sealed in the factory box!! I also have the original (nos) walnut case for it...

Man o’ man, I didn’t need another set of speakers (as evidenced by the surrounding sets pictured below), but these Onkyo D-77RX are close to GOAT status to my ears. Got them off the son of a marine in Okinawa who thought so highly of them he paid to have these 60lb a piece (!!!) bookshelf’s...

Hello It was suggested I post here regarding this obscure kenwood receiver I have. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it. Tuner works but it needs new globes which look very strange and it is filthy. Turntable is missing and dirt was coming through the hole, looks like years...

Hello I couldn't find any info online so I was wondering if anyone has heard of this model of receiver. It looks too far gone for anything but the tip. Shame though it is a kenwood. Thankyou, sorry if this is a nuisance.

Ok, so first is first. I'M new but not new. Been lurking in the shadows reading, learning, experimenting, putting into effect, contemplating, etc., a lot of things here on AudioKarma that I have come across throughout my home theater journey. Finally have come around to the point of trying to...

I just bought these at an estate sale in Ohio. :jump: Quality-wise looks excellent to me. Loaded with cast aluminum. Nice grills. Just all around good quality and workmanship. Very heavy! 73.4lbs each with grill and stand! The pictures are of the left speaker:rockon: I'm going to be...

I believe these are from late 70's / early 80,s. Made in Scotland. I think Linn grew out of the ashes of Ariston. They are concrete lined on the inside of the cab's (2" thick?), have 12" Bass (including rubber mount), 6" ish mids and 3" Decca ribbon tweeters. They stand 93cm high, 41cm wide and...

Hello! Created an account on here because of this stereo. I'm truly stumped about the history of this unit. https://imgur.com/gallery/3Uq16LS The only identification on this stereo is the big STERLING badge on the front. No model numbers, serial codes, etc. The rear of the stereo contains FCC...

As most of you in here know, these are pretty rare amps. One has come for sale in my area. It is a Model 650 with the bronze face. I was told that caps and things were never touched and the the inside had been "cleaned" at one point. I like the the specs of the amp and I also like the rarity of...

Does anyone have any info on EMF brand speakers? I came across a pair of EMF speakers for sale locally (Portland, OR). The only other reference I can find is a pair for sale in the Seattle, WA area on another for sale site. Based on the lack of info I am guessing they were a short lived speaker...

I thought this may be of interest for you guys as I've not really seen or heard much about this tuner amp, however, going by the little info I have, it could be considered one of the first designer pieces of HiFi as well as one of the first Solid State amps. I picked this unit up from Ebay. It...

So against the wishes of my spouse, I jumped on this find on my local Craigslist. It was an okay price but once I saw its condition I didn’t hesitate. This unit is really close to being mint shape with just a few scratches and nicks. The seller took really good care of it and cleaned it...

So, I'm a huge fan of Sony's higher end lines of APM speakers. I constantly monitor local Craig's and EBay for listings. About a week ago I saw a post for a pair of Sony APM 33W speakers on EBay for $100. They will not ship so, being in NJ, I'm left out. These speakers will require...

I've found a Marantz HD 880 for a ridiculously cheap price. However, the Super Tweeter and Tweeter drivers do not work on one speaker. I have found the Super Tweeters online but I can't seem to find any Tweeters. Could anyone help me on what websites to find them?
