Sony introduced headphones made from plastic bottles
Wonder if there will be a future blurb (by an online influencer) in regard to plastic bottles being made from recycled headphones?   DeKay  
Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going
wolfie: How exactly did you rid static (an LED light)? I only experience it with low humidity, so my simple fix is to increase such and it works 100% of the time. This said, I still ground myself before touching the tonearm (just an old habit/m... 
Best sounding portable CD player/radio....some would call it a boombox
Jim: Forgot about this (owned one in the early 80’s to take to the beach). It has a stereo mini plug input on the side that a walkman type CD could be used with and an earphone jack on the top of the radio unit. The pop out radio and the base a... 
JBL model L150 woofer cone color question
Here's an odd bird I found on a closed auction listed @ Hifishark.     DeKay  
Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going
Just add humidity. I place a couple of large/wide/shallow enameled metal bowls out when we have Santa Ana winds and/or start using the heat and let the filtered tap water evaporate. One placed in the main bedroom and one in the living room (both... 
Upgrading tube for a MAC 275 mk5 what are you using?
I find the RCA dual GP a "tiny bit" warmer in the midrange than the BP (my system), but like both equally. I did prefer one slightly over the other when I tried Fostex bullet tweeters with my Stephens-Trusonic 8" single drivers, but forget which....

Upgrading tube for a MAC 275 mk5 what are you using?
You just saved a bunch having the Amperex on hand. The RCA 12at7's @ The Tube Store look good. The tubes I did not recommend  are good tubes, just not for the type of sound you mentioned. I have really fat sounding Ken-Rad dual flat plate 2A3's... 
Upgrading tube for a MAC 275 mk5 what are you using?
RCA black plate 12at7 and 6201 offer a harmonically richer sound (I use 12at7 to drive 2A3's). Mullard Blackburn production is also good for such. Avoid Sylvania and Eastern European 12at7's as they are leaner/brighter (I also include Mullard bo...

JBL model L150 woofer cone color question
Just cruised Youtube to see if any L150's had black woofers (didn't see any) and come up with this (custom cabinets).   DeKay  
JBL model L150 woofer cone color question
The black and white cone versions should be the same sonically if they have OEM cones, have been re-foamed properly and if everything else is in order. I don't know how this would affect resale value. I moved to the Los Angeles area in late 1977...
