I have just completed the tear-out of all the original equipment and speakers from this Magnavox console. My plan is to build the top to accommodate a modern turntable and a Marantz NR-1200 Receiver. I'll probably construct a slanted shelf that will allow the receiver to be easily controlled...

I have a 25 yo B&W mid range speaker, a multimeter, and the lack of belief these speakers really sounded as bad as they currently do, in their prime So, i wanna check to see if the crossover is withing tolerances. Is there anything else I should keep in mind, besides checking capacitor tolerances?

I have been trying to decide on Dali Oberon 1 or Spektor 2. I ordered the Loxjie A30 to power them. The difference in price is about $100. There's not a stereo shop around me, and I haven't had time to travel to the other side of the TLV metro try them out, though I have zensor 3s I like. I'd...

Like many my 'CS-G303's are ok. But the paper on the midranges is shot. I think this is a common issue with vintage-paper-cones. Especially this model. It looks like when you search on ebay for parts, you can't even find people selling ones that aren't 'worn'. I seem to remember people...

Looking for some advice about my vintage Rega Planar 3. It's been in storage for some years. Some many, many, years, actually. I just haven't had space or interest, but with the confluence of two events, it's now in my living room, and I'd like to use it: - I "cut the cord", which now gives...

Hi (sorry for my english) I have a beautiful HK 340 that is working like a charm. It says that its power rating is 20 Watt per channel, but when i'm using it I'm like 25% volume and it's pretty loud for 20 watts in my opinion o.o speakers are Electrosound Classic 60 Type Bass Reflex. (60watts)...

Hi, I recently picked up a pair of speakers that I could use some help identifying. The only marking on them is an L and an A in Gothic Script with an oval shaped Union Jack between them. It looks like a 6.5" woofer and maybe a passive radiator with a "TITANIUM SUPER BULLET TWEETER" between...

Hi there. This may be a long shot, still,I am an unrepentant vintage Marantz fan. I scored my first piece at goodwill 20 years ago and have since been adding to it on the (mostly) cheap. HERE'S THE PROBLEM: I currently have 3 x 4K HDMI sources running through a POS surround decoder. When I...

I am new to home theater and thus trying to get used speakers of craigslist. I am getting a 6 or more year-old Energy Take classic 5.1 system. Is it a good idea for such speakers? How to make sure that the speakers are not degrading or not kept well. The person selling me says they were kept...

Emia's latest project are a flashback to the Quad era. They are custom-built powered speakers that each contain two completely reengineered Quad ESL-57 speakers (aka stacked Quads) and integrated biamplification using custom-made tube amps. They feature passive line-level crossovers and silver...

Selling for $300: Legendary speakers with a MONSTROUSLY loud sound, if you're into that kind of thing. One works great, another has some occasional crackle and fading but totally fixable. Some minor stains on top and bottom of the cabinets that can easily be touched up. Grilles in decent shape...

selling for $200: physically, the condition is 9.5/10. aside from the dust cover, it looks pretty much like it did in 1968, the day it was made. it recently started playing significantly slower than normal. the last time this happened, i got the idler wheel fixed and it worked great after...

I found a pair of Zenith Circle of Sound speakers at an estate sale and really liked the way they looked but I don't exactly know how to set them up. The wire that comes out the back of them is like a component cable it is not like the new speakers with the red and black wires. I tested them on...

Amateur hour here. I bought an old RCA Victor cabinet that I want to put new audio equipment into. The only thing I really want to play is vinyl. My main problem is cramming the gear in there. Is there a way to do this without a receiver? Here is the record player I want...

Hello everyone! My father had aquired a beautiful early '80's CRT projector. Now I have a very very difficult time researching this item. I know that the internal parts are stamped with 1983 and I wanna say it says IIIc as well. I honestly want to keep it and maybe someday figure a way to get it...
