    Possible ADS C2000 (C1000) prototype in the making

    I have been in a collaborative effort to recreate a C2000 (bass extender not in this proto). I have been given the schem for a multi purpose board that can be populated for the appropriate speaker and will allow bi-amping of the 1290/1590/1230/1530/2030 for those that DO NOT have a C2000 or...

    Dumpster MC240’s and an MX110Z (and resto)

    These were in Oakland. Friend of mine lives up there and sent me a link to the sale. I jumped on them as fast as I could. I offered a price I would pay and he said yes. By the time my friend got there he had people offering $5k plus… I was so anxious, but he honored what we agreed on. I was...

    Going from SoCal to San Francisco and back or vice versa

    I live in SoCal. I have a preamp that needs to head down from SF to me after April 7th. If no one is doing so, then I will be making a trip up and back possibly April 15th and turning around to come back same day or maybe the next and spend the night. If absolute need be, I can take my truck and...

    Ambience Reference 1800 - on a gamble

    As the post states, and after reading @MATT0404 ending post after an epic L2030 journey, and having a line on pair of L2030 myself, I made a very quick decision, not actually believing there was anything available for sale, and rolled the dice. Here is the pics of the ad: SOOOOOO...

    B&O fun grab

    Grabbed these today. Should be fun to clean them up and give a listen. Everything works… amazing in that itself! Couple of cassette belts are in order, a TT maintenance but all works great. Styli on TT is in perfect shape. That is pretty cool too. Pretty happy about the nostalgic and artsy find...

    Sony CDP X777ES - Optical Anxiety

    So, I have an X777ES and everything works. Plays great. Sweet… one thing, I know it is a matter of time for that laser to give in. I have a slight issue with it having trouble starting the first track every now and then. So, maybe a lense clean? Ok, don’t want to make things worse so it would be...

    Impromptu So-Cal Meet Up Review

    I spent Thursday after work in a fixed daze of anxiety. A worthy recipient of a seclusion room and soft walls... Story for another day. I had possibly made a critical error. How could I accommodate so much, so soon? Tomorrow was September 3rd. I had taken the day off previously to take...

    Too drunk to do the write up.

    At the prodding of @Greg Nal I have been entrusted and beckoned to do a write up of our impromptu So-Cal meet up. Not really a meet up. Well, we did meet, so maybe? Since it has taken me a half hour, maybe an hour… wait, what time is it…I don’t even know now, to txt this sensibly… to the point...

    Speakerlab K’s? Speaker ID?

    Picked up some maybe Speakerlab K or Khorn or Klipschorn clones?? I went digging around and can’t seem to find anything that matches up to what I have here. The horns have a wood mouth and possibly fiberglass from there? I have never seen those tweets and the rear access panel with all the...

    Good Karma Chameleon

    Fist off, I wanted to find out how to even start something like this or if there is something like this already out there but can't find it in the sub forums. I have a difficult time selling gear. I would rather have someone that could benefit from what I have and not using anymore. I find it...

    Need advice - what is the best way to approach?

    The audio gods have smiled on me many times. I have had some fair scores and some very decent scores. But, all and all, I have now a few too many tubes amps that do not make the rotation. It make no sense to me to be sitting there doing nothing. I have a trusted back up if my others have issues...

    Vertical Cornwall - Perplexed/Identify?

    Hi all, picked up a pair of Vertical Cornwall’s. Did some research and understand these were decorator series as possibly center channel and also can be laid on its side. Where this gets very weird is that they were badged Cornwall ll’s. Mine are not. Also, I have not seen them with grills. Mine...

    Estate sale by chance

    Picked up a few things that I had no idea about but looked interesting. One was an oscilloscope that I know I wanted but not sure at 40mhz is a good one to have for audio. Really know very little about them other than I have wanted to learn. I thought for $50 bucks... let’s give it a shot. That...

    What Garrard 301 do I have here?

    Well, apparently I cannot find what year mine is. There is a page I went to that lists all the years produced and trade mark identifiers for each. I know that it was at least between 1953 and 57. http://www.gramophonemuseum.com/garrard-301.html I have no clue where mine fits in. It is rimmed...

    New to me snag.... I will be previewing it Saturday on some Altec’s. I did demo it at sellers place and it sounded really really good to me but they were on mid level speakers, and really don’t even know what they are.

    Help with a decision 604b - L250

    Having never heard the JBL L250 and currently own the 604B this may be an apples and oranges conversation. My decision is that I have a bonus check and can do one of the following. A) I can get some authentic, very early, black 612 cabs for the two wonderful 604b's B) I have an opportunity to...

    SX-1010 - Intermittent Channel

    Need a little insight... I was playing the 1010 hard one night and noticed a channel dropped out. I turned it off and put it away thinking it would need to go to a tech. Swapped the amp with another to rule out speaker. Speaker worked fine. So, as it sat for the last few weeks I swapped it...

    Just got the cart on the table after years of pining over a completed one. Got the table about a year ago, and the arm a few months after that. Cart showed up yesterday. For years and years of TT searching, hunting, buying, alignment, research, resonance charts, dynamic compliance charts...
