Has anyone ever seen or heard or used one of these LP players? Its cheap but solidly built. I think it is nice for a entry level player. According to the internet, these were built in the late 80's/early 90's. (picture from internet)

I am looking at a Cinema 60 as my next AVR. 7.2 channels is more than enough for now and I can afford it. But before I commit, what else besides Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha can compare to it? I have read MANY reviews and it is always compared to those brands mentioned. And also, what is your...

I need some advice on which speaker size would better fit a room. In the new house I have a small living room 4,2m x 4m x 3m high. We will be using it for entertainment - movies and music. Now I have started the downward spiral of vinyl but still have my CD collection and also streaming music...

We are moving to the Netherlands end of this month. House has been sold and most stuff in the house is gone or have been spoken for. Except for MY sound system. I dont have a fantastic setup but it is great for us to enjoy movies and music. I built my own main speakers and paired them with a...

I want to get a bandsaw but only have space for a small bench type. Like the Ryobi or Einhell. Does anyone know of a different make at a decent price? Not a fan of Ryobi in general but its not as bad as powerstar... Opinions on these? Ryobi ~R3800...

My awesome headphones failed me... not electrically (the drivers work perfectly) the ear pads foam disintegrated completely... As in it became a fine powder that sticks everywhere. Horrible feeling between your ears and head  :cr@p: The local Sennheiser people says that the earpads are...

Its very new apparently. It would seem that these types of drivers will mostly be used for tweeters and can be used in headphones as well. Very interesting development...

My daughter :angel: had this portable radio which she decorated with Barbie stickers  :facepalm:. It fell some time in its short life and the CD stopped working. Actually the whole thing stopped working and was "packed" in the karakas (without the "r") cupboard. It was still there on Sunday when...

I started this 2-way today. I am planning a transmission line tuned at 44Hz. The bigger driver is a Mission unit I got from Brian and the tweeter is a Dayton DC28F?-8 1? 1/8" Silk Dome. I plan to cross at 1800Hz. The box will be covered with American Walnut veneer whan I'm happy with the sound...

I recently were given a box of LP's by mom. A bunch of old mixed with some newer releases. It ranges from early 60's to late 80's. Going through them now and its quite nostalgic and some great songs which I havent hear since I was a boy. I have found that some of these have some scratches on...

What are the benefits of TL vs reflex design? And what type of drivers would work well in a TL box?

I need to do a deal with Audioholics in Edenvale but would like to know about their service. Anybody done deals with them? How is their after sales service?

My uncle measured his 703's impedance at 3.8Ohm and the nominal impedance is 8Ohm. This does not seem normal... His power amp (Marantz MM8077), when the volume is loud, goes into protection and needs to be reset to switch back on again. My money is on the speakers having issues. Your opinions?

Hi All, Can a Rotel RMB 1075 be bridged?

I have built a set of speakers and did my first test with HolmImpulse just now. I need help with interpreting the frequency response graph... :nfi: I think there is a problem between 100Hz and 300Hz. The bass from these boxes are pretty good so far  :2thumbs: The drivers have not been run in...

I don't know if it is just me but I see more Class AB than D amplifiers in the market. Or is this a misconception on my side? Which sounds better? or is this like asking how long is a string?  :nfi: Either way I have been looking at the different circuits and class D is way simpler to design...

So at what size does a bookshelf qualify as a floorstander? 600mm high? 500mm high? I saw someone sell an old Sansui set as floorstanders but they were about 600mm high - they did look very much like big bookshelfs to me.  :nfi:

I need some help as I get confused at what to look at wrt speaker driver. I want to build a new set of rear speakers for a first attempt at normal speaker building (I have made a active sub woofer). I want a 2 way bookshelf size to hang on the wall. Bass won't need to be tremendously low as the...

When I had my flood my old TV unit got some damage and insurance paid out. So instead of going and buying a new unit, I built this over the December holidays. Used 16mm and 22mm MDF which I had pre-cut to my design. I added a space at the back bottom for all my wires/cables to be placed into and...
