    Pianos

    My missus is a classical musician. Plays Double bass and violin, but knows a few people. I asked her for details, as soon as i get back from her i will PM you. I got my upright for under R2000 from a friend a few years back. Woodwork has... uhm... character. But the frame is perfect. I also...

    Monitoring Eksdom

    I know, sorry about that. I figured ill ask on the open forum so others who have the same questions can maybe find what they need... That is what it boils down to i suppose. I have been able to manage our usage much better using the prepaid meter. It is an older Landis+GYR units that can give...

    Monitoring Eksdom

    Very informative thread. I have been considering going solar for a while now. New building plans on the horizon, adding to our existing home and I might even get this cost added on as part of the building. The idea in this instance would be COMPLETE independance from the grid, with the...

    replacing cartridge advice

    Thanks for the pricing, PM sent. After some good advice and some research I am going with the Sumiko Pearl for the RP2500 for the everyday stuff. The Dual with the V15 will go into a second system, eventually set up for classical. Thanks Hi-Phibian.

    replacing cartridge advice

    I have that Rotel 2500 with the Shure M44C cart. Tracking weight is over 3g as per my previous post. Otherwise it is fairly nice table. I want to set it up as the main 'everyday' TT in the lounge to give the V15 on the Dual a rest, and want to get a new cart. Thinking sommer an AT91 to start...

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    I dont think Ron even ran these speakers before the day I went to pick them up. He drove them on a Sansui G2000 using an ipod at low volume. They did sound bassy but not too muffled. I just assumed it was the amp / ipod input or levels issue . . .  Listened like my ass cause I was excited about...

    Members' Kit pics

    So I know my kit is NOTHING compared to most posted here, feels a bit silly posting this one... The old A60 and CB-10's doing service in the office.  :coffee:

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    Thanks Hi-Phibian. Hmmm. I will try contact them for repair / replacement options. I will also check the terminal wires... Still does not explain why the other tweeter was also not working if i assume there was nothing wrong with the crossovers then...? Wonder if it is worth the effort then...

    Share your unexpected budget amp and speaker combos...

    Nice. Some of the Logitec stuff will do that... I have an OLD 2.1 set on the missuses PC and on the HTPC a wireless 7.1 headset (G930) not too great for music, but for gaming and 7.1 movies it is awesome!

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    I posted a pic just before you posted... ;) Yes terminals were correctly linked.  Removed link to test and plugged amp straight into treble terminals only, no sound from either tweeters. Wouldn't dream of even opening one of those tweeters...

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    Just fyi. When it comes to electronics i am standing in the shallow end of the knowledge pool with my green froggy wings screaming for my mommy. But i tend to jump head first into things, so there's that... The last speaker i remember opening, was my moms Blaupunkt cabinets. That was in '82...

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    Yes sure 1 is not working. It is completely open circuit. The other measures 4.3 ohm which i guess is normal. With cabinets assembled we tested and 100% sure no sound from tweets. How do i go about definitively trouble shooting to make sure where the problem lies? Measuring the control...

    Mordaunt Short MS20 - Tweeter and crossover repair

    The 1ohm measure correct. The 4.7k is open circuit on both crossover boards. Burnt right bottom... Sorry for the k@k pic. . . What would repair of the tweeters entail? Will post of the front tomorrow. It is a metal dome. Speakers seem to be a more recent model, with rear baffle.
