I had just about quit posting on the site after reading that FB turns your likes and comments into metadata. I've been dropping in from time to time to see what friends/relations are up to, but today, I log on and find that they want my blankety-blank phone number. No way in hell!! If I had...

I had never seen or heard of these - three-way speakers with a conventional woofer in the back, and in the front, a ribbon tweeter and a midrange I do not understand. http://kansascity.craigslist.org/ele/5117220000.html

Laz's Speaker Rescue Well, I spotted these on CL, and for $5. I scan it every day, and most is either stuff I don't want/need, or it's way out of my price range. These Jensen's had 12-inch woofers, and I happened to have two good ones in boxes. Barb and I picked them up in Liberty, and they...

Interest Check: Heil Air Motion Transformer (SOLD) Maybe one of the members here wants or needs this. I found it at a garage sale (where I bought the Sumo Short Stack) and the diaphragm looks good. As I type this, it is running off the tweeter leads of the Energy speakers I am redoing (dead...

Well, I went to this garage sale thru CL, and just like in the photos, it had gobs of audio gear. I picked up a Heil tweeter, and what I'm calling a Sumo Short Stack (no power amp). Here's a list with comments - perhaps someone has an interest in some or all of it: 1. ESS Heil Air Motion...

Well, as I stated on another thread, I bought a short stack of Sumo gear the other day. The best part seems to be the Diana preamp, but the gain is VERY scratchy. How do I clean those sealed-looking Nobel potentiometers? I'm used to the kind with holes into which I can spray Deoxit or whatever...

My Monoprice wire (real copper this time!) arrived some time ago, and I finished the bi-wire connection yesterday, using all banana connectors. I put it together carefully and came off the "Front" speaker connections. I put on a CD. Nothing. Tuner. Nothing. I knew the amp had been off the...

I bought an NAD tuner a few weeks ago, from a fellow a few blocks away, and it was mediocre. I took it off the Sanus rack and replaced it with my trusty old Proton 300. I know it's a table radio, and not a tuner in a strict sense, but I knew it had an excellent tuning section, and the amps...

Me, you?

When you have things on a rack, access to the back to switch wires around, or whatever, can be a problem. My wife introduced me to super sliders, so I made new feet so I could slide the rack around on the carpet. A super slider makes up the bottom, and on top of that, I glued a stout, large...

Beware Of Junktronics By Ted Twietmeyer 4-19-15 Junktronics is a term I've coined to describe junk electronics which are everywhere now. You would think that finding a power adapter or battery for a notebook computer would be a easy thing to do. To keep a late model notebook...

Barb and I watched Road to Perdition last night. The Aiwa's were making static-y noises, especially the flea market unit. I switched the preamp to mono and threw the balance knob all the way to the right. I then left them both powered up overnight, put on some music this afternoon, and...

I mentioned in another thread the JBL HSL610 speakers I put into my shop system in place of the Mission 70 mk II. Well, they had a tweeter in a shallow, square horn, and looked like a Klipsch product. The top end was more mellow than that of the Missions, and they are staying - just more...

Nope, not audio, but I'm selling this and mostly wanted to share the photos. It's going on eBay today, and I'm asking $1000 to start. If one of you just has to have it, let me know.

Oh, I wonder...what could possibly go wrong? He misses the PGP but is in Fukushima's plume the whole way. He's going to get French fried. http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/water-activities/swimming/An-Illustrated-Guide-to-Ben-Lecomtes-Nightmares.html

Got up early and finished the belt replacement on Barb's old Pioneer CT-F600 cassette deck. She had it when we met almost six years ago, and it sat in the basement of the house I grew up in, in Gladstone, while we lived up here, while we lived in New Mexico, and for the almost-a-year we've...

I've had this tube buffer for a while, and don't use it much anymore. Function is fine after it warms up - it does have two 6112 "microtubes." Cosmetics are pretty good - there are a few tool marks on the back, which I did not do. I have the stock wall-wart power supply for it. IIRC, MF made...
