can you hardly blame the guy? that's one big-ass stack of rather distinctively unusual and cool stuff right then and there... it's probably the most interesting thing the fellow has seen in at least the last month worth of mundane and tedious appliance humping...

my mistake, i should have specified "not gold-chrome-plated plastic, but brushed aluminum-chrome-plated plastic. i have yet to know of any audio-A/V product at any price point that uses solid gold anywhere in it's construction. gold plating, copper plating, perhaps even plating with other...

i've done exactly that with a couple of Pio DVD players i've been through. i had PIONEER's very first dedicated DVDP, the 1996 DV-500, -a well made, but terrible, TERRIBLE performer- and stock the player had a pair of cheater peg feet in the back. those came right off, and the player already had...

nice deck, especially for the money!! congrats Steve!!!

i still do plastic modelling off and on to this day. a few of my more recent projects, you can clearly see i'm really not particularly good at this;

i sure wish i could score a pair of DSS-9/-E10 for that. hell, i'd be more than satisfied with the 1010s. they look like they will serve you long and well indeed. congrats...

a couple weeks or so now after stuffing my main system's Pio CS-G503 4-ways with fiberglass insulation, i finally got some time to sit down for some serious disc pulling, and a couple hours later, i am blown away. this is EXACTLY what these cabinets were lacking in, and sitting down for some...

at my local privately owned pet shop (one of the very last in the area) the owner (i presume) has a nice little solid Hi-Fi rig perched atop a wall of reptile aquariums set into a wooden casework. it is an ADCOM power amp, with a KENWOOD receiver running into it (for TUNER functions, i presume)...

how much for them all?

my small collection;

boy has it ever, now that i've had time to get used to the change and really take a stab at analyzing it. they really do sound better now with less tone control assistance. and indeed, the cabinets were very nearly "nekkid" inside before i got to them. a VERY tiny patch of insulation planted at...

that's actually the "DUSTAMATIC" accessory for the PICKERING cart/styli. came fitted to the PL-112D when i got it second hand. i've never bothered even attempting to use the thing;

though i'd be quite content with just the PL-510A depicted, i wouldn't much mind taking immediate possession of both those items there, either...

an M-90/91~C-90/91 AMP/PRE combo would probably be just the thing to tear me away from receiver-based amplification once and for all. too bad they tend to command such serious beans even today...

they're probably worth re-foaming. i successfully re-foamed my mother's pair of ONKYO-OEM RCA "DIMENSIA" 3-ways a couple years ago. it was my very first attempt at such a job, and it was completely successful. there is one in my hometown of PORTLAND, OR. that will re-foam anything for a flat...

after a few days of listening... it sure seems to. LFs seem... much tighter. i was kind of worried that the tonal balance was being thrown off, but then i realized that the modification seems to have improved bass response to the point where it is no longer necessary to have the slight bass tone...

the two Pio models are for the PL-112D/-115D/-117D series, and possibly the PL-510A as well. the other is from a KENWOOD i briefly had in between the REALISTIC i had before and the Pio PL-112D i have now... (BTW; if anyone has a copy of this type of headshell lying around that they don't mind...

i've three... all garbage, so far as popular opinion seems to indicate; * Audio Technica PRO11E * ADC VLMmk.II * Pickering XV-15 - the ADC was my original, the last Remanent of my original system inherited from my dad around 1999/2000, the PICKERING came installed on my Pio PL-112D when...

does it hurt to line the interior a reflex-type enclosure with insulation? mine were sorely lacking in insulation, and i just "corrected" that today...

and they sure do sound pretty darned good too, for still being on their original set of X-OVER components...
