    Denon PMA s10 iii help

    Dear AK Friends, I have a dillema. I used to love this amp till i got a Sansui CA / BA 3000 set and had it recapped. I find the details in the music and the smoothness amazing, especially in the mid an high band. When I use this amp, it sounds flat and lifeless and extremely boomy / flabby on...

    Leestereo's Restoration & Upgrade of a Rotel RA-970BX

    On the bench for restoration and upgrade is a Rotel RA-970BX integrated amplifier. Although consensus is relatively rare in the audio press, the RA-970BX has managed to garner praise in the Stereophile Recommended Components list, the HiFi World Buying Guide and What HiFi? magazine; it is also...

    In at the shallow end. 2215B recap and such

    So I got this goodlooking girl, with an Akai receiver, for cheap. A recap was in my mind already and after switching the thing on (onB&O variac) it lacked all the lights but there was sound. With plops and cracks. First inspection underneath did show nice soldering and no cold solder joints...

    Pickering XSV 3000 cart on Linn Akito 1?

    Hi all, been a lurker and researcher for a few months as I embark on a restoration of a poor particularly abused Thorens that came out of a church basement.

    Pioneer CS-767 upgrading?

    I have a set of these I bought when I was just getting into audio. Over the years I've stopped using them in favour of other speakers such as a pair of Sony SS-S9's which really are great performers. Good bass response and very clear highs etc. Despite the 767's having large bass drivers, you...

    JBL L100A Jantzen Crossover project with photos.

    A while back I inquired here about doing either the "Murphy" crossover or the commercially sold "Jantzen" crossover "upgrade" for the L100. Several people in this forum including leesonic and especially Richard Swerdlow were kind enough to go out of their way to produce a diagram and a parts...

    Numark Pro TT-1, opinions?

    I've been getting more serious into records and my collection has grown quite a lot! Unfortunately, I think it's time to upgrade from my Audio Technica AT-LP60. I found a Numark Pro TT-1. I realize it's a DJ turntable but I'm not looking for the highest quality. Is this a good option? Should I...

    New woofers for 1977 Cornwalls?

    I have the itch to upgrade. My '77 Cornwalls still have their original woofers (K-33-Es, I guess). Tweeters and crossovers were both replaced with Crites parts about twelve years ago. Would I benefit from a fresh pair of Crites CW1526C woofers? And heck, may as well refresh the wiring while...

    Thinking about upgrading energy 3.1e

    So my current bedroom set up is a set of energy 3.1e, and a paradigm pdr 10, running off a technics sa ax7 (not an ideal set up bud for what I have into it, it seems to sound half decent). There are a set of paradigm 5se mk3 for sale for $90, I was wondering if they are worth it, and if not what...

    Speakers upgrade

    I am wondering whether I would make more sense to upgrade my B&W CDM2 speakers or to get a subwoofer to go with them. Any thoughts? I am in the middle of upgrading what was a Rotel system to a used NAD C720BEE receiver (being shipped now) and Rega Apollo CD player. (I am waiting to see just...
