| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? JD, am I understanding that you are after an Electra Schematic? I'm not sure, but I may have one. Please confirm before I go crazy looking. | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? Yep, Jim Made Charlie the Tuner under Gas and Sumo Labels both. The Sumo was a better sounding piece, the best sounding tuner that I have heard, but its reception was mediocre at best. | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? @stevethe4th The short answer to your question is "yes" it is certainly possible to use a car woofer in a home system. The problem that you run into is that the automotive environment requires a much different woofer than a living room and are de... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics The advice that most mirrors my experience comes from audiotroy. If someone come to me asking me to build a speaker for them and they had a lot of boundry room issues. I would have recommended one of two. One was nailed above. An MTM with a r... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? @marqmike Yep, Rich Did Polaris and Jason did Polaris II and III. I've listened to the Polaris many times, I sold that piece, It had a slight coloration that was pleasant. I've not sat in front of the Jason's Polaris models. I've been told tha... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? @roberjerman Jim's Sumo Preamp was the Electra... Rich May did some tweaking and the called it the Electra Plus, Rich May then did the Athena. Jason Stoddard tweaked the Athena and that was the Athena II. James did the Andromeda... bipolar output... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? Randy Patton last owned Sumo.... Rich May took over design after Jim died, He designed the Andromeda II and Polaris. Jason Stoddard was one of their last product designers, Jason Did Polaris III, Andromeda III Athena II. Randy had PS Audio, Meit... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8 speakers Without knowing the issues, your question is tough to answer. These speakers need someone who can work on them. The woofers typically dry rot and need the surrounds replaced or the entire woofer replaced. The mids turn yellow and dry up and the ... | |
| re capping @g_nakamoto... I apologize, I did not intend to have your thread go awry. @kosst_amojan Leaving an amp on all the time sounds better, period. Again, I didn't turn it off for years upon years and caps measured at spec. As, I'm sure that yo... | |
| re capping @kosst_amojan Very nice of you to put it that way to me... So, I've clearly never owned the PURE Class A amplifier that I just referenced that I am currently rebuilding? I am changing the 85 degree caps to 105 degree caps, but I haven't shove... | |
| re capping I am restoring my highly Modified Old Sumo Nine right now, It took a lightening strike a few years ago and I have missed it. In 1983, we put what at the time was a very nice Panasonic electrolytic in the power supply, they were an 85 degree part. ... | |
| Episode vs Def Tech vs Jamo The Definitive are the best built, slightly better sound quality than the Jamo, but the Jamo are much less money and will still perform admirably. Really comes down to what you are trying to achieve. At one time, YEARS ago, I sold Definitive and... | |
| Infinity RS1B ? Buy or runaway Unless you have a real technical ability to take care of these, run. If you feel comfortable working on these, you need to be below $2000. I'd rather see $1500 | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers @moskaudio I hope all of this hasn't been too confusing. To directly answer your question... No, you do not need more power simply because a speaker can handle that much power. You might have seen that others quoted that you have an 8 ohm sp... | |
| Musical Fidelity A308CR Pre Pricing Hi Jillian, You can always list it at a price and add "Best Offer".... Should take care of figuring out what it is worth. |
