| Spica TC-50 crossover repair I just went to spicaspeaker.com and found the crossover. This one of the most simple circuits as far as building, but extremely difficult to match. Some real genius for its time when we couldn't model with computers like we do today. John used a q... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair The time alignment is mostly due to the reactive impedance of the inductor. It is possible that in impedance compensation circuits that it could make a difference but only if the coil resistance is needed. Coil resistance can easily be changed wit... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair I believe Bill does surrounds, recones and diaphram replacements only.... but the call is free, worth checking out. | |
| best used inexpensive cd only player The question is "What is inexpensive"My tubed beauty just went down, I picked up a NAD C515BEE used and cheap until I get her going again. It uses a 24/96 DAC. You can get one of these for around $175.00 and all said and done, its quite good. A li... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair Whyland, Don't you have both speakers? And aren't the crossovers in tact on the second speaker? Everyone is making this much too difficult. These are matched pairs. Remove the coils from the good crossover, measure them, then buy new ones for bot... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair Hi Whyland, Yes John Bau tested every woofer and built crossover parts to each matched pair... This is still not a problem. Most manufactures,even high end manufactures match parts to plus or minus 10%. I have always done the same as John building... | |
| Best used preamp for $1500? If you can do a fairly accurate job of what your speakers are and the music you listen to most, your room size and how loud you listen, you will most likely get more recommendations. | |
| Best used preamp for $1500? I've always considered the Speakers to be the heart of a system and the preamp the soul of a system. You are asking one of the most subjective questions out there and everyone is right, they found what is right for them. Your taste, your emotional... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production I am a Panasonic Dealer, My rep tells me that she would have a problem getting one for me. If there is an interest out there and you come across one, get it while you can. | |
| Almost set up Alright, looked it up, final tracking angle is based on the sylus cantiliever, so the little tube that the diamond is mounted on should be 18 to 24 degrees. I recommend to shoot for 20 to 22. Get a protractor and check out 20 degrees, replicate th... | |
| Almost set up Hi Fredg, The starting place for vta is the diamond itself should be a 90 degree angle to the album surface or the diamond sits perfectly straight up and down in the album groove. You are trying to replicate the original cutting stylus angle, whi... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? It may have been handled, I haven't read all of the threads.The Forest used a HiVi D6.8. I have built with it a few times and am using it now in an mtm with a Scan Speak tweeter. It is a very well built 6.8 inch driver capable of great bass and a ... | |
| best pre-amp new or used for under $500? If you are patient, you will find a Muse 3 @ $500.00. You won't find a Signature 3 at that price, but you won't find a better value than the Muse... Neutral, airy, nice slam and a remote to boot. Do your homework, read the reviews everywhere you c... | |

| best used inexpensive cd only player About a year ago, I bought an MHZS CD33F on ebay for $280.00. I don't think you could buy one now for under $400.00 (G version) It was very good. I went on line and found maybe 20 or 25 mods that could be done. They were straight forward most even... |
