Russ69That's most likely true but leaves me not knowing how long I will have to wait to get my speakers working again. I believe a quick call to take the order and let me know about how long to expect shipment would be in order for an existing cus... 
Vintage vs newer phono cartridge
I installed it this past weekend. Better than I expected. Surpassed the alpha 1 and dynavector ruby I have even using for the past 20 years. Thank you for the push into better.Partroysound

No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
By the way, in the car audio world for speaker wire thicker is always better just harder to hide.

cleeds1You're right. I don't think that would make a difference though.OPI was and am serious. I have easy access to wire and really wanted your advice. I am in the car audio business and I have a good crimp tool and I can terminate. I plan to try...

Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker

Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker
I was following your thread  and saw your comment on electronic crossovers. I agree with you on the advantage an electronic crossover has H\however I am having a hard time finding a crossover that sounds as good as the passive on my system. I ...

re capping
You are right, there are also 4 1700uf caps. After I replace those 8 caps should I stop there? There is no other sign problems and the amp works well. I am not trying to be cheap there's just a lot caps left. 
re capping
Everything looks good and the amp sounds good but it's a 1987 and I don't know the history on it. I have a Chinese ESR meter and a regular capacitance meter and so far every cap I test has shown good. The amp has 4 36000uf 100volt caps that are to...

When you recap a 30 year old amplifier do you change the big power supply caps or do you replace all of the circuit board caps?  
Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?
