This is the one I really hate to part with. As you can see it has the wooden end caps/panels and all the original transistors in place. Unfortunately it's missing the transistor covers. BUT, those are all original Phase Linear branded power transistors. Cool as hell !!! When I hooked it up it...

This one came out of a single-wide trailer in the middle of nowhere, north of Kernersville, NC, 5 or 6 years ago. It was hooked to a set of very early Infinity speakers with those Walsh 'ice cream cone' drivers on top. They rocked!! This one is fully functional. I tested it recently and it...

Like most vintage amplifiers, this one has a story. I picked this up out of a long closed night club in the middle of nowhere, east of Clover, SC, 7 or so years ago. It worked when I bought it but I'm selling it for parts now. When I got it home and opened it up, it literally had a layer of...

I've finally decided to part with my 3 Phase Linear amps. I have two 400's, a 4-fin and an 8-fin, and a 700 Series 2. The 4-fin should be considered as parts but I figure if the right person gets it, the repair will be fairly easy. See individual postings. I'm starting with the forum members...

Regardless of your opinion of Stereophile magazine, the October issue contained a real gem. Pages 187 and 202 tell about finding well over 1000 reels of unreleased tapes that were recorded by Owsley Stanley. From what I've read, he was a REAL purist (minimalist?) when it came to setting up...

I thought some of you would be interested in these upgrade kits that are posted on eBay. They're posted by seller kchamber. Before you jump over there you should know that this seller has been at the forefront of Acurus/Aragon upgrades for years now. I don't know of anyone more knowledgeable on...

Like most of the forum members, I don't really hold much stock in high priced interconnects and speaker wires. I'm old enough I probably couldn't hear the difference anyway. So I've decided to solder up my own interconnects from the snake nest of old cables I have laying around. Most of what I'm...

I ran across this on CL this morning. It's very local and wondered if any of you have an opinion on this Kenwood gear. From the late 70's I think. From what I can find, it's a decent deal if you're just looking at the money side of it. Not a screamin' deal but a decent deal. Not sure what the...

For all you RTR fans, I don't know if you've seen these or not. They look like pretty nice covers and they've been at it for quite a while. Here's a link to an eBay listing and their own website. I'd think they'll do custom work and I'm asking about speaker covers...

I was finally able to make my way to a new vintage/used audio store in my area today. Vintage Audio Exchange is owned and operated by Ed Parks and opened in March this year. Ed look to have very good taste in his used gear and is a great guy overall. I'd encourage any of you to give him a call...

I'm not sure if any of you have stumbled across the http://kenricksound.com website or not. Based in Tokyo, they restore and recreate mainly classic JBL speakers but work on other brands and electronics also. They post an insane number of videos you have to wade thru. Below are a few links of...

This guy had made some small Real Time Analyzers a while back that were pretty cool. He sold a few on eBay. See his other videos. This one is possibly a replacement for bad VU meters. Take a look at this 90 second video of his new digital VU meter. https://youtu.be/cYZYT5RS5f8 I contacted him...

Within the past couple of years I saw a center channel speaker build (I think in Parts Express, Speaker Project Gallery) that caught my attention. It wasn’t so much about the build but the principle behind the design. The builder/designer placed great emphasis on that center channel with good...
