If I sister two speakers together, can I use a simple rheostat/potentiometer to reduce the volume of one in comparison to the other? If yes, and I am using a 100W amp with two 100W speaker, what K value potentiometer should I use? Total DIY newbie here, and just asking for a little fun...

Hi All, I haven't checked in for a while, but am looking for some car audio advice. Was there a car audio part of AK, or am I making this up? If there isn't, where should I go? I am looking for any info on a Sansui SA31504 car amplifier. Google has nothing. Greetings Frank

Is anybody familiar with these speakers? I'd like to find out a bit more, for example were they sold in the USA, personal experiences, anything really. To give a bit of background, my brother bought those speakers ages ago in Germany when they were new. He still has them and loves them. From...

I finally sold the pair of AR3 speakers I brought with me from the US to New Zealand. Too many speakers - or not enough rooms! I hadn't done anything with them, since buying them more than 10 years ago. The new owner collects Acoustic Research speakers. He re-foamed the woofers, but hasn't done...

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what's the difference between a Denon DCD 1015G and the DCD 1015? There is no shortage of info on the DCD 1015, but I can't find any mention of the DCD 1015G, and I just picked up a silver one with rosewood side panels. My very first system was a Denon...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1982-Denon-DCD-2000-CD-Player-Extremely-Rare-In-Good-Condition-/331888647599?#viTabs_0 I always wanted one of these. Often they show up in pretty beaten up shape, which makes them kind of useless for what's basically a collector piece. That one looks awesome...

I am thinking the slot at which the red arrow is pointing might be some kind of aux connection. This thing is old - I am thinking pre-USB. It's too small for a CF card or PCMCIA. SD card looked good but doesn't fit - still a smidgen too large. Way too big for micro-SD. What else is there?

What's a realistic price to pay for a Denon DP-45F turntable with an Ortofon OM30 cartridge? Looks to be in top shape apart from a cracked dust cover.

I don't own any, but I am curious. Do we have any aficionados around here? Any wisdom to share? Any good places on the net to get more info or to ask questions? My interest would be in a dutch oven a.k.a. oval roaster and maybe a skillet to be used on a ceramic stove top. Does anybody have...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231023819355 Kinda cool, but $500 is a lot for a 1st generation CDP. I guess you'd really have to be a collector, but "only working example in the world" :scratch2: Still, worth visiting the auction for some great photos of an unusual item...

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ele/3822911623.html Obviously the CR-820 is the nugget in the whole deal, but the YP-211 is not a bad turn table to start with or for a second system, and NS-5 would make decent speakers for the same purpose. I particularly like the included solid oak speaker...

I used to own a pair of RS-4b that I re-foamed and enjoyed quite a bit. Eventually I sold them - long story, stupid decision :dunno: Now I might have a chance to buy a pair of Kappa 8 (not 8.1) locally at a very attractive price. They are in need of re-foaming so listening isn't really...

Very enjoyable interview with Joe Cocker by German public TV ZDF. The interviewer seems like a bit of a dork, but Joe is fantastic as usual. The above link takes you to the interview in English. There is also a short documentary which shows Joe's ranch in Colorado and clips of his long...

I found a box with two of these puppies on the curb the other day. Drivers seem to be working and even the surrounds are ok. The only issue I have been able to find is a cut in one of the cones (bottom of right woofer), but since it is a clean cut, that should be an easy fix. I have done...

I am somewhat of a cable skeptic, but I hope I'll never be too old to learn, so I've recently been reading up on some stuff. Here is somewhat of a conundrum I have come up with. Maybe somebody can help me to understand. I understand from our recent thread on cable risers that a static...

Yesterday I discovered an interesting little system at my local GW. I don't usually pay much attention to mini-systems, but this one is a real eye catcher. When I picked it up, the receiver was astonishingly heavy due to a very meaty power supply. Lots of attention seemed to have been paid to...

This is the weirdest looking operating manual I have even seen :D

I just found those caterpillars on my tomatoes. Within one or two days they virtually destroyed 4 large plants completely. They seem to prefer the tomatoes green, and ate all but the stem of some of them. There were only about 6 caterpillars, but they are huge - easily 4" in length. As large...

Today at the local GW I spotted a mixer - not something I would usually have much interest in, since I am not into recording, but on this one all the writing was in German - eg 'Mischpult' instead of 'Mixer'. Being German myself, this attracted my interest. On further inspection, the mixer is...

Apparently word has gotten out that Tannoys ain't cheap: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ele/1935027702.html :rolleyes:

If you sell a car from one private party to another, do you put a contract in writing and sign it? If yes, what do you need to put in there? I had a great standard contract in Germany that protected me when selling cars, but I have never sold a car since I came to the US. All advice appreciated!

Pioneer's claim to fame appear to be mostly receivers. I've only got a lowly SX-550, but I can surely understand people's enthusiasm. Maybe I am not looking in the right place, but I don't seem to find much info on Pioneer CD players - particularly single disc CDPs. There seem to be a lot of...

I went shopping to our local Walmart Super Center today - mostly for groceries. After over an hour of wandering through the isles and loading a shopping cart to the top, I decided to reward myself and have a quick look at the CDs. So I parked my shopping cart at the end of one of the isles...
