Anybody seen one of these? Looks cool- but I doubt that it's a true "audiophile" record deck. Built-in 2" speakers (claimed to be "full range", but we know better, don't we?). More: http://www.gramovox.com/products/floating-record (Photo lifted and cropped from their website...)

Getting the urge to put my Rek-O-Kut out with the garbage and replace it with a Dual 1229Q Of course I want one that's NOS and never been assembled or out of the carton, but I know that's an unrealistic expectation and an unaffordable quest. Keep me in mind if'n you's happen to see one layin'...

Just found this on YouTube. Apparently, non-polarized capacitors indeed have a polarity! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BnR_DLd1PDI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Is the BOM posted in the documents archive? Anyway- got my kit today, and I have a backup system ready to go. My PL400/II sits 75% WOPLed and I'm getting ready to complete the remaining upgrade: the backplane kit! <iframe width="640" height="360"...

Probably nobody remembers the "PlayTape" format, similar to 4/8 tracks that pulled from a center hub and then rewound to the outside of the tape "pancake". In the mid 60s, there was an offbeat format called PlayTape, a two-track 1/8" mono format with maybe 10 minutes of program material. As I...

As of Jan 21 2015: Nice looking, sale from second owner: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Phase-Linear-700-Series-Two-power-amplifier-/151557852308?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23498d4c94

Has anyone done a Klipsch DIY project here in PhoenixLand? Found some cabinet plans: https://community.klipsch.com/forums/storage/3/979211/1977%20LaScala%20Plans%20HDBR.pdf The cabinets don't look to be beyond my ability to build, but they say nothing about the woofers, squawkers, tweeters or...

Thanks, Ron! The cart is great!

Is there any reason to worry about playing less than perfect records with your expensive elliptical point? I buy a lot of used vinyl, and of course not all of them are in pristine condition. I won't play a wrecked record with my Ortofon stylus 30, but will a VG graded record pose any threat for...

Found a PL 4000/II preamp on ebay a couple of weeks ago. From original owner, they even had the original box and user manual. Sounds great, could probably stand to have some electronic refreshing. At least now my signal path is much cleaner. Blew my Christmas budget, it was a buy-it-now at...

My transformer buzzes. Not objectionably, but I do hear a 60Hz "heartbeat" coming from the back. It just sounds like a clothes iron or an electric train transformer that's been energized. Anyone else? It's a PL400/II. Is it an imminent sign of death?

Most of the posts (AHEM... ALL of the posts...) for the WOPL conversions have been on the PL 400s and 700s. Do any of these conversions apply to the Dual 500 amps?

My ADS L1290s from the mid 1980s could probably stand to have the crossovers recapped. They still sound great, maybe slightly crisp in the midrange, but I wonder if a recap would smooth things out a bit. There's not much literature out there on any ADS speaker systems, looking especially for...

FIRST: For my first four days on this forum I didn't know what the hell a WOPL was. SECOND: This post is redundant because I posted links to the vids in my introduction. Hopefully this will help someone overcome their fear of circuit building and subsequent house fires. I'm gonna try to delete...

Hello, all- This is Mark posting from South Carolina. I heard from someone that there were a lot of Phase Linear fans here, it was suggested that I jump into the stew. I just finished two of the three major White Oak Audio upgrades to a 400 series two, and I'm still amazed at the performance...
