    Just like the title says. Need help in deciding which tube amp to purchase. For the past month or so I've been reading, reading, looking up amps for sale on the internet, and reading until my girlfriend has finally gotten sick of me stuck on my phone all the time looking up amps.

    JBL L36 crossover

    JBL L36 crossover

    Greetings guys, I recently acquired a pair of L36s from CL. I hooked them up last night and only the mids were working. Sometimes if rarely while turning the knobs on the pots, the tweeter would work. Well, I figure this is a good opportunity to rebuild the crossovers. However, I've never...

    Show us your JBLs

    Here's one of my pairs of JBLs. My 62Ts. Got these off of CL a few years ago. The original owner drilled holes on the bottom and sides. There was a good size chunk of wood missing from the side. I patched up all the holes and did what I could. Since they aren't very expensive, for sh*ts and...

    New JBL's to play with

    This week I was able to score a couple pair of JBL speakers to add to the collection. A pair of L80T3s that need refoaming. Purchased from the son of the original owner who had fond memories of them while growing up. The 2nd set are 4311Bs. These guys need nothing. The cabinets have very minor...

    Cambridge Audio 640p recommendation or not

    Greetings everyone, I'm thinking about purchasing one for my Dual turntables to play with. I currently have the Cambridge Audio SR20 and was wondering if the CA 640p would be a better way to go connected to the auxiliary rather than using the Phono input on the SR20. Also, I have an older...
