YAMAHA NS-100M
I found a Yamaha Hi-Fi general brochure for that time period and it lists the NS-100M tiered below the NS-1000 and the NS-690III. Ir is described as follows:NS-100M3 way speaker system + True bookshelf size, yet with excellent sonic qualities + Ta... 
Budget Linear track table?
I still have a Technics SL-QL1 Linear Tracking Turntable which came as a package when I purchased a used JBL L-212 some twenty years ago. This quartz direct drive plug-in p-mount cartridge turntable still works flawlessly today although it is hard... 
Thorens TD126mkIII power change
I have had many Thorens turntables and have had experiences with them, but I have never had a TD126MkIII. However, I have just now made a cursory research on this matter thru the internet and have found out that the MKIII, unlike the other TD126 m... 
Thorens TD320 power supply
Sorry for this late reply but I have only now seen this posting of yours. Please see my response to the person who has the same requirement for another Thorens model. I have had this problem and have found a replacement in the form of a 14 to 16 v... 
Anyone Familiar with classic EMI speakers?
I have a pair of EMI DLS 529 two-way speakers with the oval woofer and coaxially suspended tweeter. They are pleasant sounding speakers with a good mid-range and sweet but not overly extended highs coming from the paper cone tweeters.When found us... 
Upgrading woofers in a/d/s L2030, need help
Ed_sawyer is correct in his assessment and it is truly not prudent to modify unless the experimentation can be done so that the mods can be removed and the speaker restored to original.Why not experiment by adding a sub-woofer to meet your bass re... 
Best vintage receivers for FM?
The Kyocera R-861 has been the best receiver I have had. I've even used it as a tuner/preamp feeding a tube amplifier. The matching DA-610CX CD player still does a credible job. Even the lesser R-461 does a good job as a receiver. I see where the ... 
More Sources than Inputs
You can use a Radio Shack Realistic 'Tape Control Center' box feeding into one of the line inputs and this will allow three inputs switchable at the front of the box. The only concern is that this unit is not in the class of your equipment and you...

Recommendation needed for four pieces of music
Ruggiero Ricci and Jascha Heifetz are certainly master technicians and their versions of both the Sarasate and Saint-Saens violin pieces are splendid.Regarding more recent recordings, Sarah Chang plays both pieces well and the sound of her new Gua... 
Hartley speakers--anyone heard/heard of?
In the mid to late fifties the Hartley single cone 10" MS220 was placed in a modified infinite "boffle", correctly spelled as mentioned, and it was touted to have a performance between 20-20,000 Hz. They were demonstrated with a demonstration reco... 
Polk SDA Speaker info needed...
Sometime back I had a pair of similar speakers and they do need to be connected between the two speakers through an "umbilical cable" which was quite ordinary wire but with special plugs. On a temporary basis, you should be able use 18 guage wire ... 
looking for preamp with built in tuner
Correction on my earlier posting, The NAD 1600 is a Preamp/Tuner with a full remote. It has performed for me more competently than the Adcom GTP-500, the Carver CT-7 or the Carver CT-6. I live in a spot challenging for FM reception and the NAD out... 
looking for preamp with built in tuner
The NAD 1600 is a competent Tuner/Amplifier with a decent phono section. In fact, I am presently using one connected to a Krell KAV300i integrated amp as my tuner/phono sectionall feeding into a Triangle Celius and it does a pretty good job. I als... 
Krell KAV-3001 left-channel cut-out
I have experienced this cutout of the left channel as well but I was able to correct the situation by manipulations on the remote control. You should use the remote, manipulate both the volume as well as the balance control and the dead channel sh...
