I have a copy of that on vinyl. Bought it brand new when the jacket had "at Albert Hall" printed on it. Never did open it - still sealed. Consequently, I've never heard that recording before.

Thanks for the input. I will assume then that the parts list description, "electrolytic capacitor" is wrong. My intent is determining the cost of replacing electrolytic capacitors in the amplifier. Excluding the large filter caps of which there are four, total expense of ordering lots of 4...

The unit is a Sanyo Plus P55 power amp. I have been reviewing capacitors contained in the parts list and found what I think is a descrepancy. The capacitors at positions C723 & C724 are described as 150V - 0.047uF - electrolytic. Was there ever such a thing as a 150 volt 0.047uf...

That squealing is a hideous sound. I experienced it with Sony PR150. Several PR150’s actually. Kind of a shame because there was some good stuff recorded on them. And my one and only prerecorded open reel tape, Rod Stewart - Smiler. The first 1/3 sounds great then the squealing starts. What...

No baksheesh, no tickee, no washee.

I see Y-I-E-H-E.

I have, I think, one only Cocteau Twins album and have played it maybe twice. Can't remember the album title but it's got the track Sugar Hiccup on it. That song is an ear worm for me that crops up from time to time. Like right now......thanks a lot Mark.

Whenever I've revisited the Lower Mainland, I went to Urban Repurpose. Since my workdays were spent nearby, when my shift ended, I went to that store frequently over several years even since before it relocated to Brooksbank Ave. There was never a ton of audio but what I did find there were...

I had to look that model up myself. In the 1970's I was in a band that rehearsed/jammed in my basement. The drummer worked for a company with a connection to Roberts. He brought one of those things (branded Roberts) over one night so we could record ourselves. With two cheap mics hanging...

And from me as well, Lee. Glad I spotted this and could squeak in my well wishes before today becomes tomorrow.

An EQ hooked pre out to main in will work but each time the volume control is adjusted, the EQ settings would also need adjusting. Or so I have found.

Does that Musk guy have money to burn?

Those things have a muting circuit involving J112 FET transistors. I had a DH110 once, and those created a problem. I learned it is not uncommon for them to need replacing. FWIW, when I owned the DH110, it was in conjunction with several other pre-amps. I thought I had too many and did a...

Thanks! Seeing that link made me check discogs for a soundtrack / compilation I've been wanting for a couple of years that I had no intention of buying on ebay. Found it, bought it and it's is coming from within Canada.

What happened to the previous occupant? Deceased?

I have a cousin who now lives across the street from me. He collects cast iron pans, pots, etc. He's been using an electrolytic bath set up to clean off crud and last year switched from 12V battery chargers to PS3 power supplies. According to him, the power supplies are better. Says the...

The DLK speakers look like they're worth having. They look small and probably sound OK. I bought a pair of Epicure M50's a few years ago. Didn't need them but being small, I thought they might be handy to have some day. They don't take up much space in the meantime.

I had a pair of SDA-2B's for a year or so and powered them with a 700B and then a 400. The person who bought them complained soon after. Said they caused his receiver to fail. Turned out he either connected or disconnected the SDA cable while the system was operating. That blew fuses in his...

It would not be a total surprize to me if The Turntable Shop business continued with a new owner. If so, whether said person has the same acumen for purchasing and selling plus the skill set to perform repairs, would remain to be seen. As far as I know, a business can have value even if there...

It was about a month after the fact when I learned of Nick's death. That news was told to me by the owner of a record/vintage stereo gear store 50 km away from Nick's store. And the day before I intended to visit Nick and take back my TD124. I totally believe that anyone and everyone within...
