@jobrewer1983 I'm still kickin' and been hanging out with @Ben LaVigna since you connected us! As you know he's a wizard of everything tubes, and I've got a veritable crap-ton of tube gear so he's helping me solve my extra gear problem--he's taking it all for himself! That funny little amp came...

Very helpful, thank you. I'll grab my 18 and measure its chassis width and faceplate width to see how that compares.

Blue, if you still have the model 18 and case, could you give me the inside opening dimensions of the case? I have a line on one that is 18" X 5 3/4" not sure the depth but I'd like to know how yours matches up. Joe has done a few fine cases for me so its nice to know he makes one for the 18. I...

Huh, there was another reply (the first reply actually) that had some great info about the EM7 tube amp designs and apparently the poster deleted it. Too bad, wanted to go back and review the info there...

Chasing info on this amp yesterday, I joined audio afficianados (link in another site thread) and tried to find info on a 700+ page Dennis Had thread and never did, it was more recent Inspire amp info. Thanks for sharing this, very helpful.

I purchased this amp for cheap on a whim in 2020 and due to the pandemic it went into my storage area and has been AWOL until now. I know little about 6EM7 power tubes, and the circuit is a SE Triode putting out 1.5-3 W/ch. Transformers are from a Scott 222 (TRA 8-5-1) with matching serial...

:lurk:

Love the thought process and execution. Shows its not your first rodeo. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your "little grey cells" as Hercule Poirot says. Watching and learning!

Thanks for resurrecting this interesting thread. The 225 has moved on, replaced by a 240 which to my damaged ears sounded better overall. The 30's are staying, on the bench at the moment but still in rotation. The LK-150 is another beast that has not left yet but doesn't get the play time of the...

I have a 7T where someone removed the light/bezel and added a random knob and pot, which I removed to restore it to original. Now I'm looking for options on what to replace it with. Any suggestions?

RIP JB. I hadn't heard this LP before-it is a good live compilation of a lot of his good ones. JBL L40's, iFi DAC, and BelCanto S300i integrated amp

There's a pair of AR 1W's near me, maybe you could find the Altec driver laying around and convert one? He's selling them with the JanzSen electrostatic tweeters for $500. Of course then there's shipping from CA to CO...oh nevermind.

Eclectic stack audio: Thorens TD 165, Magnum Dynalab FT 101a, Marantz 7T, HK250 tube amp, Bluesound Node 2i, Marantz CD6005 through Stephens Trusonic 120CX in MCM custom cabs from the late 1950's.

Wow is that ever clean! Keeper!

Tentatively headed to Nor Cal coast on a golf trip with the guys. If that blows up we can make a So Cal run, the wife can hang with fam in MB and I'll head down your way.

It was a one-off, it is not something he's making still. I'll let you know if I get around to selling mine. Greg

I picked up this mono rig just yesterday...Leak TL/10 monoblock, Point one pre, Garrard Model A turntable and a Karlson cabinet, Goodmans full range driver. Supposed to have been working prior to sitting for 6-7 years. Check out the matching custom cabinet for the amp/turntable and the record...

Old threads never die, I have two SEL-200's, one lived a hard coastal life (grime and rust, Ser # Z 91484) the other was in much better shape but older (Ser # Z 23321). Different color boards, and the grimy one has a broken balance pot (knob and shaft come off in your hand if you pull). The...

YES!! Can't wait! :banana:

I ordered a couple of IBBA boards for my vintage Fisher receivers from @RS Steve. He sent them along quickly and they arrived safe and sound. I can't wait to deploy them but as typical for me, that may be a while. Meanwhile, I wanted to give him a shout out for the work and look forward to the...

@paulvo posted some Japanese Jazz LP's for sale, I grabbed 3 of them. They were extra well packed (super thick cardboard) and presented in excellent shape. Thanks for the safe ride and great tunes!

I have options to drive the 302's...This was the rest of the setup I inherited from my dad, along with a Roberts RTR and Garrard Lab 80 TT

I believe I have that same Bozak console (empty) to use with my pair of Bozak Urban 302a's. They were my dad's--the speakers I grew up listening to. I bought the console from AK'er @HBTim, who is famous on the West Coast for his listening parties, which someday I hope to be included in. In the...

Hard to type, harder to pronounce, buying gear from @Yggdrasill is worth the effort. Bought a rare vintage preamp and tuner for very fair prices from him last week, he packed them about as well as any gear I've received and was very responsive via PM for setting up the sale and shipping. Don't...

My username/pw combo for AK doesn't work for that link. Do you need a different username/pw combo for that site?
