    Picked up Kappa 6.1 Series IIs today

    I have been looking for a speaker upgrade lately by searching eBay within a 25-mile radius limit. $307 won me a pair of really clean Kappa 6.1 Series IIs. I picked them up this afternoon and am 'tuning' them now. :D These are the first floorstanding 'tower' speakers I have ever owned, and...

    I thought I'd never get a SR-929.....

    I thought I would never buy another turntable. My Technics SL-D2 direct drive semi-auto that I bought new back in 1978 for $119 is still spinnin' fine. The only turntable that I had any desire to replace it with was a SR-929. But the price of them on the auction site in the past few years has...

    SR-929 tonearm rewire advice?

    I won an "as-is" SR-929 on that auction site for cheap.... It's got some cosmetic issues in the black lacquer, a few scratches in the dust cover (but no cracks :)). It was cheap, so the flaws don't really bother me. But there's a intermittent sound from one channel and hum that gets louder as...

    Sansui Professional E-1

    It looks to be related to the 'pro sound' B-1 amplifier. http://cgi.ebay.com/SANSUI-E-1-Balanced-Phono-Stage-PROTOTYPE-for-CES-E1_W0QQitemZ180046507831QQihZ008QQcategoryZ67807QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

    Help! BA-F1 stuck VU meter needle

    Well, not exactly stuck. When the amp is powered off, the needle goes down where it should. when the power is on, however, the needle rises up to the 0.1w mark on the meter. If I crank it up enough, the needle will bounce above that level, but not go below it. It's obviously not a...

    SE-7 by ADC?

    I have seen lots of SE-7s, but this is the first that appears to have been made by ADC. It has just one tape loop. I wonder if it has a Sansui S/N? Sansui/ADC EQ

    PC as source component

    I've been using a PC more and more lately as the source component for my stereo system. Primarily for internet radio bitstreams (128mps mp3). I just got a Chaintech AV-710 sound card for $25 (an upgrade from a $30 Turtle Beach Santa Cruz). I'm very happy with both the analog output...

    Pioneer Linear Tracking TT ???

    I almost bought a Pioneer linear tracking TT around 1980-82 that I thought was very nice. Now I can't remember the model number.... Does anyone recall one from that era that was nice and did it stand the test of time?

    12vdc Cooling Fan power source

    I just ordered a DVD player for the family room. It is a slim 1.7" high. I previously had a 2.6" high DVD player in a shelf in the " corner unit TV stand" with a DirecTV receiver box sitting on top of it. With this setup, the DirecTV box had only about 1" above it and the shelf above it. It...

    Matched Pair - 1979 Separates

    Just thought I'd post a pic of this pair. I've had the AU-819 since buying from Wisconsin Discount Stereo (mail order) in Nov. 1979. I bought the TU-719 only a couple of months ago. EchoWars and PunkerX recently made it nice. Mounted in the GX-5 rack, they look like they were meant to be...

    EchoWars and PunkerX

    I recently bought a Sansui AU-TU-719 tuner on eBay. With a description of 'Except for minor scrapes, cosmetics are mint." and "Not DOA!", the $99 BIN price was too good to pass up. 0r so I thought.... The scrapes were not minor, there were several in the top of the faceplate, and the cover was...

    Preamp out for headphones?

    Can you use the ouput RCA jacks of a preamplifier (Sansui CA-F1) to power headphones? The preamp has listed output specs of 1V/600ohms into a 47k ohm load. It has no headphone jack, so I was just curious. RobV

    I just can't sell it!

    I've been thinking lately of upgrading my subwoofer and how to raise the funds to do that. Ever since I bought an AU-919 last summer on eBay, I have barely used the AU-819 that I bought new in 1979. I thought I would put the 819 on eBay and see what I could get for it. The only thing "wrong"...
