I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but i recently purchased a car with a nice sound system that worked at the time. The car has has a lot of battery issues and at one point when the car died, when it started the front two speakers didn't play sound. When it died again, same with the...
Hi there friends!
I recently acquired a Sansui 7070 in beautiful shape. In sounds soooo good. The case is in very nice condition with no peeling at all. But, I can't help but to think how much nicer this piece would look if the veneer was lighter, blonde instead of brunette.
Is there anyone...
Recently was on Marketplace and found a McIntosh 2100 on there for what is normally pretty low compared to other McIntosh gear ($550 for those curious). Looked into the listing and the model and noticed the listing had customized it with tubes. I’ll provide some pictures but I was wondering...
Though I'd share this. Pictures and resolution don't do it justice but we went for a retro vibe with the colours, style and font. It was achieved using House of Kustoms root beer candy paint as well as Max Meyer Paints
Hope you like it!
I have a 2000X that has been in the family for 50 years. I had it redone by a local guy and it sounds better than I remember from my childhood. I bought a Sansui 4000 to go through myself. I have not researched any mods to incorporate into the design, but plan to do any upgrades that I can. I...
So, I killed my cart as a result of not having a dust cover for my TT, PL 550. Tough to find. I've worked with metals, wood, plastics and other materials professionally for many years and have a design background as well. The question is...........What do you think the market is for custom...
Hi!
Being a bit lazy and (as my wife likes to point out) bad at finding stuff, I would appreciate your best advice or links regarding making a straightforward heavy layered plinth for an idler driven turntable with all the stuff bolted in the usual way to the top plate. Some of my questions is...
Just became an AK Member so I hope i'm using this right.
I have fully restored this pair of vintage Infinity Kappa 8 speakers from top to bottom, inside and out. With over 100 Man hours invested I can truly say that it was damn well worth it. I'm an old soul at heart and boy, do I miss when...
Hey Everyone,
I have a 1950's Magnavox 477P (I think) entertainment console - TV, radio, turntable.
My mom told me it died before JFK due to a lightning strike near her parents' house.
I pulled the chassis out and cleaned it up a bit..
There are a lot of different tubes. The only ones...

Hi everyone, I've just bought me a pair of Tannoy T115, really eager to get them (will be shipped). A picture from the seller below.
Some call them Cambridge, but I saw a picture of the Cambridge and they say Cambridge in the label. So not sure if they're the same.
Anyway - I've learned they...
Hello, My name is Aaron and have a Sherwood s-7310
I recently acquired this amplifier from a girl I know's dad. He gave me the amplifier and I have been using it for a while now with a record player, and recently the left speaker stopped working and I realized the fuse broke so I did some...
Perhaps I just found why I shouldn't own a tube amp. Music was playing, at low-ish volume. My wife was standing beside the amp and I was looking at her, in conversation. There was no flash, no pop or buzz or noise of any kind. No odors. The music quit playing, the tubes faded. Won't fire...
Hi All,
I've just inherited my dad's late 1970s Sansui Setup (turntable is a Dual 600), and I'm having a heck of a time housing it. The Amp, processor and tuner models are of the type that could be screwed into a rack (consumer not commercial), but my dad threw the rack out sometime in the...
So I bought a pair of Technics SB-L50's at Goodwill the other day - in really nice shape, the look like they've never been used. Anyways, I bought them for a project for my 12yr old son and I. We are taking the speakers out and are going to build custom enclosures. I want to do away with "Linear...

Can you...
