    Dynaco SCA-35 Heat with Wood Case

    Hey everyone, I’d love to hear from anyone who has run a Dynaco SCA-35 with the Dynaco wood case that has the routed slots on top — that is, the Dynaco cab 1D. I’ve read some people speculating that the SCA-35 would get too hot in a wood case, but I would be curious to hear from anyone who has...

    Is gluing a must for building a speaker box?

    Hi all, I'm thinking of making a speaker box with two 4" full-range drivers and one ~6" passive radiator. I've come across many speaker/subwoofer box builds online for inspiration and literally every single one of them shows the box panels being glued together and/or screwed together as the...

    Adding wood on the side of a black Pioneer receiver?

    I have a black 2003 or something Pioneer VSX53TX that I got at a pawn for 40$ a while ago. Recently I saw someone on Reddit add wood sides to their black CD Deck and it looked marvelous. I want to know if y’all think it would look good on the receiver, how to go about it, what type of wood to...

    Wood Receiver Cases/Cabinets-How I Built a Few

    Here are the steps I took to build these wood cases: After exhaustive searches of the interweb I found only one relatively complete guide on how to build nice wooden cases for vintage (or modern) audio receivers.

    Wavy Veneer, KLH Speakers

    Hey all! Just found some FREE KLH 6 speakers -- right!? Anyway, caps and new resistors on order. I've got cloth sealant, and getting some thin weatherstripping to seal the woofer. One issue I haven't found a solution to: Wavy veneer. Likely from moisture damage. It's not super awful, but...

    Bahco 665 Swiss carbide bladed wood finish scraper

    Holy smokes! a vintage furniture reseller/restorer posted about this “cemented carbide” scraper tool and I just had to try it. It’s unbelievable. You pull the blade and somehow it just cracks and obliterates old wood finishes. Magical. used it on a beat up Aristocrat cabinet, where the old...

    Home made headshell

    hi to all, Finally I finished another headshell. This one is made in brazillian cherry wood. With a homemade 4 pin connector. The pins are sterling silver soldered to the lead. The main idea was create a light headshell for the heavy Empire cart. The lead should be shorted soon, are too long.

    Just as the title states I'm curious about adding wood resonators inside some headphones, or all that have the space, to change FR and have possible favorable effects.
