I just picked this little beast up from Bill yesterday. It belongs to a friend of mine. One channel was quite weak. Bill replaced the caps in the psu and power amp section for a total of around 40 caps altogether. He also changed some bulbs. This is a pretty impressive little unit and at a guess...

While I'm sure its a rare piece, I'm just gonna throw this out there. If anyone ever finds one of these I would certainly be interested. I personally have never seen one, but maybe someone else has. So if you stumble upon one in your travels please keep me in mind. Bose RBV-1

While im sure its not news to some it was for me. After more than three decades together, iconic rock ‘n roll band MÖTLEY CRÜE announced today their Final Tour and the band’s ultimate retirement. The announcement was solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring...

Ive heard back from my technician regarding the 1801. This is what he had to say Left channel - 0.1V measured across the output. This is acceptable. Right channel DC offset of 34.5V measured across output. This measurement was obtained with the amp plugged in to 120V AC and not turned on...

Happy birthday Nando. Hope you have a great day and maybe sip some brandy while rocking some tapes.

Well, in all the years I have never seen an auction for NIB Bose 1801. While the price is probably fair, it doesnt change the fact that it will need the old zener diode repair so it doesnt hurt itself or speakers...

Anyone picking up any vinyl today. I likely wont be buying any Black Friday releases. That said though, the Vinyl Alibi is having a 25% off sale, so ill be making my way down after I get off work at noon. Were under some pressure at work, as this is the last day to complete the finish coat...

Some of you may remember the thread I had started here. After the work depicted in that thread, It still wont hold a stable speed. So I have dropped the PL off to my tech, wishful thinking leaves me hoping its simply caps, which seems to be common. If that is the case and everything goes well...

I been looking into these Crown Drivecore amps. The power and price point caught my attention. I believe there is a dealer for these amps out where my brother lives. Anyone heard anything good or bad about these amps? I guess worst case scenario it would always be a decent back up amp somewhere...

Was down in Barrie yesterday doing some work in my brothers basement. We planned this well as we knew OBS was hitting Barrie on their tour with Crash Karma. A relatively small venue, but had a lot more people then when I saw them last here in Peterborough. Another great show by these Canadian...

Saturday night we were down in Toronto to take in a show. Wednesday was the reason we were there, but the opening act Cold Blue Rebels put on a great show. They are a rockabilly punk/metal act, with campy horror style lyrics. I was pretty impressed by their set. The rockabilly style sound is not...

After seeing OBS with Buckcherry back in January, I been wanting to go see them again. We found out last week that they were playing a show here in town with Crash Karma, who ive also seen before. We were there more for the OBS, as KC's new disc isnt all that hot. They played a short set, but...

Anyone picked up GTA V? I picked up a copy last night. Some of the music is scored by Tangerine Dream. Not very familiar with that band, but I know some of you around here are(Miles.... Im looking at you :laughing9:) I havent been able to play all that much, but did try it out last night...

I contacted a local seller, who has a large lot of MD's for sale. I was originally only going to buy a small batch of about 25 from him. When I received a reply from him he told me he was moving in a couple weeks, and if I could buy all 200 he'd sell them for 1 dollar a piece. So, Im wondering...

This thread will be used by me, and can be used by anyone buying records to post up their latest acquisitions. I was out of town visiting my brother....starting the second phase of his basement reno. When we finished today, I wanted to hit the local shop out his way. Formerly know as Big...

There has been an SD 9000 for sale for some time within a decent traveling distance of me. The deck apparently needs octocouplers. Its a very nice looking 3 head. Anyone know what kind of work is involved in changing the octocouplers. I dont really need another deck lying around waiting for...

While perusing the local HMV I happened across a DVD I had never seen before. On The Edge is a live show recorded from the Razors Edge tour. This particular show is in 1990, and is clearly not long after the release of the Razor. I picked it up mainly becuase there are a few songs on it, played...

Should be an interesting flick, I hope to catch it at some point. There is an article here for more info about the movie and the production company.
