| DIY TT Thoren are pretty easy to fix up. You can get a TD160 super or any of those belt drives, they are easy and fun. Easy to add whatever you like as far as tonearms. Most of the parts interchange. The 121 and 124 are a lot nicer but they are for reco... | |
| selling Pass designed F5 Turbo, DIY built No, there is not a policy that I know of. Disclosure is a good idea, tell your potential customer what you did. If there is a return policy, or not. State weather you can ship it and where. State your payment options. Good pics tell a story a 3" t... | |
| bi-amping with Tube and SS amp Please explain why this would not work? If you keep the jumper and connect both amps the speaker will sense the signal from either top or bottom binding post. If OP turns off his SS amp, his speaker will only get signal from the amp that is activ... | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I hope there is a run on valve equipment, more for me.. I just picked up a pair of MC30s that look VERY good.. Yup.. 15 years since I owned a pair and they looked bad. Sounded great. I haven't even tried to fire them up. They look that good. I'm ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Well I'll tell you what laoman and tsushima1 IF I post the cases next to my dog will that satisfy you or are you going to continue. Will you promise to leave and NEVER come back? Heck Mike is fine you two though. He has a purpose, what the heck a... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Honest works for me.. I'm a grumpy ol fart until I see the neighbor lady. She's a peach for sure. I'm no party pooper. Who cares what others think, they have the right to be wrong and ashamed, and all about the same thing. Mcintosh is, like JELL... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Mr Mike you'll notice I give almost as good as I get. BUT I never met a person I didn't like. Some of the things they do is a different story. I'm no different. That speaker is the last place a dog I had for 16 years loved to hang out. Toy Fox Ter... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? Your house is protect by the breakers. You are protected by ground fault circuits. The fuse is to protect the amp. Houses don’t burn down because of fuses or breakers in equipment. The neighbor did manage to burn 1/2 her house down behind an elect... | |
| VTL repair I've never heard them turn down work. EVER!. You mean it will take longer than you're willing to wait? OR They won't put you in the Que? There is a difference. Bea, she is so wonderful to deal with. Like a corn on my big toe that I keep smacking.... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Thankyou acresverde, I’ll take it as a complement. I have a pair. They are so well done they have a high jewelers rating on the finish.. I like um.. MC240s how many people can say they have heard a tricked out MC240. If Samra would come out of th... | |

| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? Yes, red copper, yellow copper, silver, I like red copper. 5mm thick and 20 or 30mm long. First get the video going. Turn the power switch on take the 5mm x 30mm wire or round stock, smile at the camera and plug it in. When you wake up send us th... | |
| Anyone else here interested in, or built, or even heard Folded Well Diffusers?? Interesting. | |
| is the 1990s "WIDE MODE" setting the 'soundstage' of today, and a gimmick? One of the reason I'm not a big fan of speaker crossovers being potted. I can't see or fix the silly things, usually. I don't like it when the speakers are wired out of phase to get a flatter response, either. OB you almost can't help it but in a ... | |
| Ridiculous resale price of vintage equiment No they're fine. I'm a Mac guy.. The only thing better than Mac Vintage is more Mac vintage. Price out a pair Model 9 Reissue. Sansui when it's done right is one of the best sounding valve amps around.. Marantz has a flavor that's hard to beat if ... |
