    I am seeking a way to determine which output terminals of speaker crossover networks feed which components. So, what I have is a set of 3-way frequency dividing crossovers, but I need to figure out which wires should attach to which driver components. There are no indications on the boards as to...

    PSB Strauss Golds are absolute units!

    Well, I broke my long “no more buying stuff” streak today. PSB Stratus Golds. Just massive bastards! Per pound, they were the best value of my audio life. The picture doesn’t give nearly enough scale, so you should know that’s a 120” screen and the 2 subs are 12” with spikes in a big enclosure...

    KLH Model Twelve, Five Pounds of Capacitors into a Four Pound box.

    I got these off CL last Fall. $200.00 since you asked. Had to hide them in garage until the time was right. You've all been there. I still need to refinish the cabinets. They have a bit of a milky look to them and I like crisp grain. The contour box (crossover) has nice crisp grain and...

    Dahlquist DQ10 Recap and Refoam and Such

    I landed a pair of Dahlquist DQ10 off CL for $250. Supposedly one driver was intermittent. The owner said banging on the side would usually bring it back. Wow like 1970's television. And they have not been serviced (or cleaned) since 1972 that I could tell. But there is a special place in...
