Woofers blown -- Rogers LS 2a/2
A quick dive came up with the LS2A/2's woofer being 160mm (still needs to be confirmed with a 2nd source). B110 was smaller in my Ls3/5a's (maybe 130-135mm depending on how it's measured). Found pics of the LS2A/2 woofer backs, but the hand writ... 
Woofers blown -- Rogers LS 2a/2
yogiboy: He states that it is "based" upon the 110 and he is discussing the LS2 (not the LS2A/2). I have not been able to verify that the LS2 and the LS2A/2 use the same woofer. Rogers used different versions of the white translucent woofers th... 
Woofers blown -- Rogers LS 2a/2
As far as I can gather the LS2a/2 used the white translucent (plastic?) woofer - not the B110. If the woofers produce sound then perhaps have them repaired (as suggested above). A few "sales listing pics" that I ran across showed distorted rubbe...

NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp
Suggest running the (new?) QS for 200+ hours with the stock tubes without changing/moving anything.   DeKay

asvjerry: Thought I would experiment with spicing up the pegboard (tried and true) by adding a mattress and some Texas hot sauce. I'm quickly running out of new ideas @ my age.   DeKay

What is your gear? I just ordered a bottle of Yellowbird hot sauce, a mattress and some 1/4" pegboard (my wife's birthday is coming up).   DeKay

OK, if weather is out try putting Peri Peri sauce on everything (and I mean everything).   DeKay  
What's Up With Jane's Addiction?
I suspect that Navarro's goatee was the root of the problem. I used to see them in the mid 80's when they played @ a few local clubs that I could walk to - good live band.   DeKay

Purchase gobs of cheap thermometers from TEMU and then peruse the free online weather stations with the rest of your remaining time. This has worked for me. Weather is REAL.   DeKay  
Rectangular versus fancy design speakers?

Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
"Mad Dogs and Englishmen". Cocker's live album is killer (both sonically and musically).   DeKay
