My wife and I were in an antique mall in Hobbs, New Mexico yesterday. In one booth were a pair of Definitive Technology 3-way towers, in oak. The footprint was about a foot square, and they were four to five feet tall. The cabinets were HEAVY and solid - they thumped well. Drivers are a dome...

My thread "Lookie What's at Auction...!" is not getting too many views, and no replies, sooooo, I'm posting here to bring it to the attention of some PL fan on this site who needs some more PL. The site shopgoodwill.com has [RIGHT NOW!] listed a PL 400 and 4000, and the auction ends tomorrow...

Well, I did a thread titled "Amp Juggling," in which I concluded it was a good thing to know the capabilities of your different amps. Now, for speakers... I went for a walk today and thought about my MX-1 minisystem. I do some of my best thinking while walking, and I remembered an...

One of those CL ads...off to El Paso and back tonight. The guy, an ex-audiophile, had sold his last good speakers, and had these left, a working unit with a very worn faceplate and a mostly dead unit with a good faceplate. I'll be inspecting innards and swapping faceplates. The MD (mostly...

During the long process of getting my wife's computer upgraded (now done!), we switched to a set of Altec computer speakers we had lying around, and I trashed the other pair, as they did not sound nearly so good. As I often do, I opened them up to see what the innards looked like. The...

Well, there I was, the other night, watching a movie with my wife. Ahhhhhhh, there it is again - the right channel is dropping out, now in, now out. We need a remote volume control in the A/V rig anyway. There's nothing to do, but reinstall the MX-1, motorized volume and all, and I can't even...

I just got my Sony linear-tracker going again - the little belt from the motor to the worm-drive which pulls the arm back and forth was stretched, and I replaced with an o-ring of the right size. It came with an Ortofon TM-7, and I also have a Technics P-34 on another TT. Is either of these...

Well, there we were, my wife and I, leaving the Mexican buffet in Artesia. Right by the eatery was a beautiful bronze statue of a vaquero (pronounced more like "ba-kero" and our "buckaroo" probably comes from it) roping a cow. Next to that on the sidewalk were three park benches with...

Many years ago, an LP came into my possession, and it became one of my most precious possessions, as far as music is concerned. The music label is Kebec Disc, the album title is La Tete en Gigue, and the artists are Jim Corcoran and Bertrand Gosselin. Well, the album title needs a tilde...

I stumbled across this today, and if you click on the links to the left, you can find information on several plasma tweeter systems. Interesting, but much of the site is in German. http://www.plasmatweeter.de/

I've got at least two cassette tapes which bind so much that my deck will not feed them, but slows to a stop and quits. In both cases the feed side of the cassette has a bind at one point, where the tape has shifted to one side (with cassette vertical). Is there a way to fix this? They are...

I got a sort of reminder from this site, an e-mail I decided to take a look at, got a new password, and here I am. No posts, but it seems I joined last March. I'll have to make up for lost time. I just hope this place is not as moribund as some audio sites have become...:confused3:
