Yes, those terracotta saucers leak if water is standing in them. Very simple and elegant setup. Wondering if you need some kind of isolation between the speakers and the TT being in the same piece of furniture.

Hi Woody, that Marantz scope tuner came, and it's great. Sounds better (to me) than the Sansui TU-717 that it replaced! You did a fine packing job, and it came quickly. The little video you made for me was reassuring, and guess what--the Stereo light works, I guess you needed that dipole for...

I did figure it out eventually, and managed to score a Marantz scope tuner, which is what I was hoping for. Thanks!

Trying to remember who in Philly sold Maggies...Radio 437? Muchnicks?? I was a mystery shopper for Harmon International then, and went to all the stores....

Nope, the docs say that there's a contribute button at the top right of the Home page to access Barter Town, but it is not there!

I met Bud Fried a couple of times. He had a retail store near where I grew up for a while, and later a workshop where he sold off some stuff when he was moving out. Very nice man and quite down to earth.

Hi there. Just to let you know, for some crazy reason I'm looking for a record cutter. Probably would like to avoid the Recordio level machines, would prefer something like a Presto or Rek-o-kut, or perhaps something more modern....Thanks.

Uhhh, sorry, in editing down to 1000 characters, I deleted the part about the pre amp section of the Marantz being out, and recapping it in general...that's what I'm looking for assistance with. Thanks.

Hi Lee, I stupidly hooked up speakers hot and incorrectly yesterday and probably blew some output transistors on a Denon 4308. This is anticipation of replacing my old TV with a Samsung Smart TV, the F8500 which is on order. Anyway, instead of repairing the Denon, I'm thinking of...

Some Pio speakers on CL I am interested in...

Exactly. Conversely, how much juice are my 70's monstro receivers pulling out of the wall when they're just idling?

You're right. I actually do have it connected this way, because I didn't have an available HDMI port on my TV, so I am running USB out of the PS3 to my receiver. Need to have the TV on to navigate, but I guess I could turn it off if playing an mp3 playlist once it started. I will have to...

Yep. I had some fullfiillment issues with Soundsmith, but once it finally arrived, i was highly impressed with their product.

Bought a PS3 without even realizing it could function as a media server. Works pretty well, though it has issues with certain video formats. Also, when file sharing program VUZE is running on my Mac, it sees this instead of the designated share. The Mac needs to be awake, which means I need...

Also, is the switch in the back narrow/wide filters, or antenna attenuation?

Is the case real wood or "faux"?

Anyone ever notice the similarity in looks and specs between this unit and the Pioneer QX-9900? I wish I had room to take this home and compare it to the Pioneer, the price seems reasonable enough.

If you break the wire, you just tie a knot in it. At least if you're a former scout. i guess. A while back a friend modded mine to use the preamp of an aiwa walkman. Kind of a frankenstein job, I would've rather had it recapped and maybe just an output jack installed. It was pretty expedient...

Right you are. I will list this as parts in the correct place, and edit this post. Thanks for the tip!

Quad DOA Receivers--Anybody Want 'em? Sorry to hijack this thread..... <<<<<MOVED TO THE CLASSIFIEDS, THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!!>>>>>>> Any interest? Insult me with an offer. I am in NW Philly, no shipping, please.....

Nice Auction!!!!! Wow, this looks like great stuff, I am trying not to buy any more big stuff, but vinyl, mics and tubes will still fit in my collection. Thanks for the tip. Could be some shoo fly pie in my future.

Just searched Roberts and found this: http://cnj.craigslist.org/ele/2029607767.html Wow, I could use that Marantz Quad receiver, and the Masco amp for some dirty guitar.

Glenside Thrift The place down from the Blue Comet? They have a lot of one buck LP's in pretty good shape, last time I checked. Can't recall the name, it's on Easton Rd, and it's a Stationary store (remember them?), and there's a lot of not particularly rare vinyl in really nice condition...

Philly I just picked up a Dual 1245 off CL last night. Once I adjusted it properly and replaced the cart, it sounded shweet. There was a guy up in the NE that was posting stuff to CL last year, but he's vanished. I don't know the far NE very well, but there are some thrift stores on Rising...
