Eventually a pair became available, a sorry state they are. Quickly ripped one apart to see in what state the box itself was in, it appears most damage for the R speaker is on the outside and cosmetic in nature, maybe salvageable without replacing the veneer, we shall see. The tweeters I assume...

I have a few items, this is one example, that will need repair or replacement. On some others, it will require complete replacement. I have never worked wit veneer, but have done and do woodwork and are well equipped. Where can I buy veneer sheets in SA, and what is the glue options like heat...

Since I am waiting on the parts for my Marantz model 18 resurrection, and yesterday I fooked my Lawnmower beyond economical repair, don't ask, time for getting a look at this Bush radio today. A very clever mechanism as part of the Tuning process, works almost like clock hands. Will at some...

Non functional but not completely dead Marantz Model 18. Will take some pics over the weekend. No idea as to what is wrong on this yet, but nothing functions apart from the dial lights and there is a spot on the scope. We will see what does and does not on this one. But first I need to resolve...

@Air asked a fascinating question over at Non linearities in our hearing See that thread for relevance. Here at least are known good recordings made with Stereo mic pairs. That prompted me to add a few Albums here: Here are some examples of albums that were recorded with a stereo mic pair, will...

Having the Quad 44, 303 and the ELS-63's, this is a real trip down nostalgia lane.... the 303 from 1967-1985 and the ESL-63's from 1981-1995. Now looking for a reasonable TT from around that era, mostly late 60's to mid 70's. AR or Thorens or even Linn, would prefer it to be British if...

Managed to snag this lil one, thank you @NSWanderer! Cleaned up, de-dusted and washed down proper. Have not properly tested it yet, just did a basics check, power on, FM tuner working but no speakers connected yet. Hunting for fuselamp replacements now, cannot imagine getting any locally. She...

Got @Mars to build me a custom upgraded Sweet 16. I imagine it was a difficult birth but he was great to work with. Frustration for me was obviously waiting way beyond the original timeline, but parts availability for certain things is just tough. Supporting local guys is way more important...

Been looking for an hour meter to see the use time on my cartridges. Have not been able to find something useful yet? There are mechanical timers and digital ones, but all requires a hooman to start and stop the timer. I forget mostly :( So looking for something automated. Otherwise I will have...

Lets see how many people use tools and setup the TT, or have it done by someone else? Select as many as you got :D Groetnis

CDs were announce in 1979, the same year my Yamaha CR-2040 and YP-D10 was manufactured, and I was almost done with school. Life started to happen for me, very impressionable youth, that was me. You can see those on my other postings, if you care to. Abba was first out the gate with a CD album...

For those so inclined, it's always exciting to receive new or new to me goodies, so welcome to share here. Kindly include pictures or it didn't happen :) Ill bite: Life long supply of Ilfotol. Also the Hana SL MC cart, thank you @achim much appreciated.... Groetnis

So I have this YP-D10 that I refurbished, there is another post on that. It had a Shure SC39ED cart on it, but the stylus is a goner, collapsed. likely due to fiddling or dropping the thing onto the platter. I need to find something suitable, either a MC preferred or a MM. Please suggest...

It's finally Xmas :) 👌 Unknown condition, 1979 vintage Yamaha YP-D10 and a CR-2040 Amp, sadly the speakers were stolen, was NS 1000M's.... I am now the second owner.43 years young.... Groetnis

Been searching on here and could not find a playlist thread. A few playlists was shared, thanks CTHFC, and a few other in random posts. Maybe this can be a catch all for playlists, like on Spotify, Plex, Tidal, Amazon and Youtube as examples. Could be structured like this: Use: Roadtrip or...

Started looking at my very early Quad 44 preamp last night. Uhmm it needs a clean desperately, tho not as bad as the very mangled Quad 22 I also have. That one is half disassembled and no valves at all. Things are missing on it. Back to the 44. See this here QUAD II collection for it’s origins...

As you know I am experimenting with flat panel DML speakers. As part of this I am looking for a set of Bookies between R15-20K to use as references to benchmark against. There are a few I am considering like B&W 606, Sonus Faber Lumina II, Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G and others like Focal, Polk...

Anybody any ideas? Maybe better asked here. Why would there be Prestik stuk on the speaker cage frame and magnet gap? This versus below... Groetnis

Ever since the Frugal Horn folks started that design I was following along with interest. There were a couple of local people that build some for themselves, even sold a few on here. I am seriously considering building a pair. These are good for low power amplifiers like SET Valve Amps as an...
