    The Infinitesimals Made It..

    Those are awesome speakers . They can kick a bunch of big well known speakers to the curb. Congrats Lee.

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Lee . yep the 808-8b's but I have changed the diaphragm to the 802. GPA still builds all original Altec parts. so the 808-8b now is a 802-8g with the phragm swap. As you know, ya got to be easy on the power to compression drivers. One reason I like active crossovers . I can drive them with...

    For Sale TASCAM 42NB Very Nice cond. works excellent

    Thanks Perry. Yep that is what I thought it was. Those Faceplates with the notches and square corners were an option order for rack mounting. Didn't know if you were having that style made. I like the sharp square corners over the typical rounded ones. Cool thanks, jM

    Thanks Lee. Lee remember the old Jubilee that was at one time said to become the Klipschhorn II . But was the moved into Klipsch's commercial line ? I'm sure you have checked whats up in that division these days. Here is a link : https://www.klipsch.com/pro/cinema/behind-the-screen...

    Any one recognize this WOPL 400

    Hi Stetter You might want to build you a Dim Bulb Tester to test before going direct to the house power. It will come in handy on your next build also. And congrats on your 40th Anniversary bud. My wife and I hit our 40th August of last year. cheers, jM

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Yep . Seeburg used Altec's 811 horn (painted them gold) and 806A Driver. I believe the Woofers were Jensen. Heathkit also rebranded Altec horns, drivers, and woofers in there high end speaker cabinets

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Ray, I got most of my Altec stuff from a old theater that closed down years ago. I don't use the 811 horn with what I have set now. I'm using the larger 511 horn. So I may have a pair of 811's in my stash. I'll check when it warms up a bit. jM

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    You can come close on a few. But on the 800 series only the 8g and 16g have the tangerine phase plug. the rest are aluminum. There is a bunch of info about these on many of the Altec sites. There are two sizes of rare earth (Alnico mags) mags used in the 800 series drivers. 802's and the...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Hi Ray, This is what is so confusing about Altec drivers. So many different numbers. the 802-8d is a Pa driver . The 802-8G is the driver that is used in the Model 19. Has the special phase plug and diaphragm for higher power and Alnico magnet structure. Ray keep your eyes peeled for 902-8b...

    Looking to upgrade to horns

    Hey Roccus , Lee is spot on. Horn systems are expensive and if the wrong components are not selected to work together, it can drive ya nuts. I running a pair of Altec Votts as we speak. They sound awesome, but it has taken me many different Altec pieces to get them to sound right in my room...

    HDMI into RCA cable

    Hi Craig, Hi Jer, You really should not need a USB cable at all if you go with the Dragonfly DAC. It plugs right into the USB port. Yeah the one that looks like the Saguaro Cactus. Then just a 3.5mm to stereo rca male like this one ...

    HDMI into RCA cable

    Hey Stu, Good to hear you are on the mend brother. Hang in there man. Here is my take on what you have as far as outputs on the Laptop. Yes one of those is a HDMI. That is a digital output so it would work into a HDMI input which your preamp probably does not have so forget about that one...

    Mark goes at it again... just bought a PL700/II!

    I think you would be fine . Are there inline fuses on your main speakers ? That adds a little insurance for the tweeters on start-up. My first original Pl700 series II I bought new in 1978 I think. I still have it but its shelved waiting for an upgrade someday. Still works. I used it on...

    Mark goes at it again... just bought a PL700/II!

    Hi ya Mark. Good to see you buddy. Enjoyed your video, but would have liked to have seen the dbt test light go all the way to full bright and then back to dim. Or was I missing something ? I would like to hear your opinion on how the Amp sounds now compared to your 400 on the same source...
