    Did Germany make 6SN7’s

    Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light on this pair of tubes I ran across. I got them a couple years on the common auction site and recently rediscovered that I have them. Does anyone know if any 6SN7’s were made in Germany? Can anyone identify anything about these...

    Cabinet Lining/Filling question

    Hello Friends!!! I have built a cabinet called the Crystal-Menhir by Leon Huigjen. I am not exactly how to go about lining or stuffing it if it needs to be done. The cabinet is a little like the Frugal-horn style cabinet but it is different. In the Crystal-Menhir cabinet there is a slanted...

    Mystery (ESS?) Tweeters

    Hello Collective AK Awesomeness. Years ago I was at a guys place buying a Yamaha CR-620 and I say a pair of speakers there that were pretty ratty but said ESS on them. I forget what model they were. Over the years the cabinets went away as I was green and didn't realize the woofers had been...

    Help with Grace m900

    Hey Guys! I've been gifted a Grace m900 and I have a question about the signal inputs. I'm going to use it on a computer system and the easiest audio out on the back of my desktop is a 1/8 " mini stereo. If I understand the Grace m900 inputs correctly, I can use a S/PDIF input or a TOSLINK...

    The Jeff Bagby Continuum II

    Today I finally finished building a pair of Continuum II's. I have to say I am very happy with them. I only had limited time to hear them and some of it was done with youtube. But I did get a chance to throw Excitable Boy on and listen to both sides, what a fantastic album. Lord help me...

    JBL 125a, recone attempt

    Hi Guys and Gals, I think I'd like to try to re-cone a pair of my JBL 125a, one if fragged and when I got them they had both been re-foamed, but as often done, foamed on top. So I'd like to pick your brains please ;) Has anybody had good or bad luck with the re-cone kits available? Which kit...

    Tantalum caps in a crossover?!?

    I opened a very interesting speaker today just to have a look see. It is a Hegeman Model 1. The main driver is driven wide open and there is a tweeter to help out. Tweeter is a Phillips sitting atop a bowl above the main driver and I can't locate a capacitor. I tried to get the Phillips off...

    Dynaco ST-70 or Fisher 660-A

    I have both of these amplifiers and I'd like to get one up to snuff. I'm just curious as to which one is generally thought of as higher on the food chain. Which amp is more dynamic, which output transformers are better, which power supply is more robust, stuff like that. I am hoping not to do...

    Tannoy 15" Red Crossover question

    Quite a while ago I ran across a pair of these these drivers with crossovers but the home made cabinets that they came in didn't seem to generate any bottom end at all. I tried a couple cabinet configurations(what ever was around) but never really fell in love. For whatever reason I put them...

    JBL 035ti repair question

    Hi All, I have been trying to muster up the gumption to repair a 035ti. I took it apart and found that both voice coil leads had corroded or were fried. I hope to extend the leads so that they can reconnect with the terminals. I think I recall that voice coil wire is insulated with enamel...

    Cartridge Suggestions for AR-XA

    Hello Collective AK Knowledge! Here's the score... I've come across a large record collection, I mean REALLY large. And the stuff isn't in that good a condition. Some of it I'm not even going to throw a needle on. Some of it is in decent condition though. I'd like to give lots of it a shot...

    Motorola Console Informational Booklet

    Anyone want a free pamphlet for their Motorola Console? It is pretty generic but it does list elementary specs about the DD10, DD11, DD20, DD40,DD41, DD50, and DD70. It doesn't really list tube compliments, but I found it in a tube console that I no longer have and just wondered if anyone...

    Turntable Tech in KC

    Hi Guys and Gals Putting some feelers out there. I've got a nice Miracord 770h that has started misbehaving a bit. When it cues up on a 12" record, it drops the needle about 1/3 of the way into the first song. Also, sometimes the player just doesn't respond to its buttons at all- like...

    Hartley Concertmaster IV Question

    Hi All, I have a pair of these delightful speakers but I have a problem. The amplifier I prefer in not quite powerful enough (especially if the wine is flowing). What I consider doing is to biamp them, but I do not understand crossover theory or application. I consider splitting my preamp...
