    RT-707

    Hi, in your opinion, if this works and is decent working condition, is $100 a good buy? Awhile back I saw this in a shop for like $300 and it's still there but he said he'd take $100. What's it worth non working? I don't know a lot about these. Thanks

    Victor VV-VIII 1913

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxIE_4zTxls I just picked this up today. Pretty decent shape for being almost 100 yrs old. Best I can do on a phone camera, but it came out fair enough. Peace [attachment=0:17wu94df]IMG_0415.JPG[/attachment:17wu94df]...

    Most users ever, today.

    I don't know what was special about today, but everybody came out of the woodwork I guess. Today was the most users online at one time at this forum. The last time was back in august I believe. I'm not sure if anyone else was watching but I have been curiously watching it myself. This has been...

    New Furniture

    I've been wanting to make things a bit more tidy in my music room. Found this little stand that fit the bill as the SX1280 is a tough fit. It's sitting unused, still a bit sentimental.

    Synergy

    Yes, right now I am enjoying this "synergy" with my system. Sounds beautiful to me. However, my opinion on synergy is what happens when you take components of less then the best of quality, and use other components to offset short-comings. A balancing act. So none of the components may be...

    Tweaks/Accessories

    I was wondering if there sure be a section on this. Like for non-component products (powerline, interconnects, speaker cables, room tuning etc) I'm looking for a surge protector/AC filter and I guess I would have to post under Amplifiers? Thanks Joe

    Money in the car.

    You guys think $500 for : 4 new tires, rear plate light, wipers, alignment and loose sway bar linkage repair is in line? Seems ok. I need to go easy on this old Focus, I ride corners way too hard 2005 / 125,000... Bought a new one last year for the wife. Not even the same car. I was going 100...

    Furniture....

    Wasn't sure where to post this. But it seems impossible to find a rack that will accomidate a 22" wide component on inside shelves. Unless I'm looking at double-wide TV stands, glass/steel. Even then I'm looking for nearly 20" deep too. Nando? Anyone? Prefer not to pay "Billy Bags" prices...

    Replacing Capacitors in Loudspeaker Crossovers

    I've never done this before. I have some basic knowledge about crossovers, caps and some basic soldering skill. I entirely recapped a 1950's oscilloscope successfully, did some crossover work. But I've never recapped an old speaker. I generally have an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality...

    Snell EII

    Picked up a pair off of craigslist for $135.00 today. Cabinets are in really decent condition. Typical foam rot. 1 rear tweeter pushed in. Internal wire looks like it needs replacement. I happened to have some practically brand new replacement woofers from snell, that sounded kinda crappy in...

    Woofer stuck in cabinet...HELP!

    I need to pull the 10" out of my Snell CIV and it appears to be stuck in there good. Maybe too good. The speakers weren't well cared for as it is. I almost wonder if the woofer is a replacement, and some unscrupulous person glued them in! There is a potentiometer for the tweeter that is really...

    VTA

    I was looking at my SL-23 and I don't see that there is any way to adjust the VTA. There doesn't seem to be any way to raise or lower the tonearm. Might be due to the nature of the auto-return design? No idea. Anyway, I decided to double up on the TT mats as I have another one. This will of...

    Review: Bellari VP129

    Bellari VP129 I have found some difficulty writing this review, which I'll do my best here to explain. The reason is due to the fact that I've had limited down time to listen over the past couple of days, so I've spent all of my time listening rather then writing. In other words, I would have...

    PM Outbox

    Maybe I'm being dumb here, but why do PM's sit in an outbox rather than go out immediately? :confused3:

    Odyssey

    Has anyone ever looked at, owned tried any of their products? I heard a Stratos amp on some morel speakers like 10 years ago and it was nice that I remember. Seems like if someone was looking for new solid state, the prices are good for USA made, 20yr warranty to boot.

    Klipsch Heritage

    Is it just me or do the prices on the new old-school klipsch speakers seem totally unreasonable. I Remember selling birch Lascala's for around $2500 in 2000-2001. Now they are $7000.
