Hello fellow AKers, I received a pair of IMF Studio's from a family friend a while back. I replaced the dead b110 woofers and had been using them however the quality seemed to be off and finally got to me. I used a tube to listen to each driver and noticed that the super tweeters didn't seem to...
So I got this amp in a trade deal a few weeks ago, and after one issue of basically building it back from scratch, from a blurry schematic from 1960, I still am getting some 120hz hum when the unit is idling, with the inputs shorted. I just replaced the selenium rectifier, and that seemed to...
Hi! I've been working on a Studiomaster Mixdown Classic 8. I opened it up to make sure the levels were selected properly (i.e. balanced +4 dBu). In order to open the console, you have to take out the entire board, not by channel strip. In doing this, I accidentally pulled some multipins in the...
Long story short, I went to a mid-high end audio shop today to do some R2R troubleshooting (wanted to confirm it's the tape and not my deck, which we did.) Though it's not a vintage store, the owner is a tape head and they have several (mostly functioning) reel to reels, including some studio...
I have two JBL Studio Monitor MKII and two JBL LSR310S. Hooking it in was a-lot less confusing than I had made it in my head.
I separated the sub and the monitors. I plugged the right Studio monitor in to the right subwoofer via XLR cable (Balanced) and then from the right subwoofer I used a TRS...

Hi:
I recently purchased a 3.5mm stereo jack to 1/4" stereo plug adapter online (cheap quality). Unfortunately, it arrived damaged to the point that the protective plastic had all broken off. Long story short, I was able to get my money back and was also allowed to keep the damaged item. I am...
Hi everyone. I'm picking up a Yamaha RX-V870 for $12 CAD. Does anyone have any input on this device?
I'm primarily going to be using it for music. Records in particular. Hooking up a Pioneer PL-255 turntable directly to it through the phono input. As well as 2 Technics 1200 turntables...
I've been refurbishing my DD300 deck and I am just about done. The overall condition was fair and it was working OK up to a few weeks ago. I ended up taking it apart and replacing the caps for the power supply filtering. I found two leaking caps there. Basic clean and lube, dioxit the pots...
Dear AK Strictly Sansui members.
I have been wondering for some time now, how the Sansui studio series and professional series are to be viewed in comparison to each other.
For those who don't know what I am talking about; the 'studio line' amplifiers and associated tuners, tape decks...
Guys, I really need an opinion here. Anyone's two cents would seriously be extremely helpful because I don't have the best experience with any of this and really anything would be helpful!
So, here it goes: I've had a very bad experience with buying professional headphones from the 1970's and...
