    Acoustic Research AR3a woofers

    You are welcome to them, but they are 12 inch woofers and probably a bit large for bookshelf speakers?

    Technics Mania

    I've never really been a big fan of Technics except for some of their turntables like the SP-10 mkii, I recently acquired a SU-V9 integrated amplifier which has really impressed me. The same can be said for Marantz though.. is a vintage 1060 model really worth R4500 which they seem to go for? I...

    A sad pair of Tannoy Monitor Golds.

    Nah they are toast.. best to get rid of them, I can dispose of them for you free of charge.  :giggle: On a more serious note, I'd be keen if you decide to let them go and interested in a trade for something.

    Acoustic Research AR3a woofers

    marantz123 thanks for the info. I was thinking about replacing the woofers with something else with similar specs as the originals if I don't manage to find a pair of originals. I spoke with a gentleman from Limpopo who has two pairs of AR3A's including 4 new tweeters and crossover kits that he...

    Acoustic Research AR3a woofers

    I recently acquired a set of these beauties, in very good cosmetic condition but some bright spark replaced the original woofers with crappy modern ones..  :headbanger: Does anyone know where I can source a pair of original woofers locally? It doesn't matter if they need work, as long as they...

    Sansui AU 111 cosmetic surgery

    When I read your title I almost thought you were talking about my cosmetically challenged au111 which is currently being operated on by Dewald..  :giggle: Maybe I should also ask him to disable some of those unnecessary switches while he's in there.

    Prince Alfred Pass (R339) road condition

    I will be driving back to Bloem from Knysna beginning December and wanted to try a more scenic route, has anyone here driven this stretch of road recently? My car is quite low (Audi A4 3.0 with standard suspension) so I don't want to risk damaging the car's undercarriage or something on the...

    RIP

    Most of you probably don't know him but for the few who do I was informed yesterday that Mark Wilson had passed away earlier this month. I only met him on a couple of occasions and he was a bit of a funny character (not in the Ha Ha sense..) but he was always friendly towards me and had a big...

    Couple of cool vintage analogue gear

    While busy setting up at an expo yesterday I noticed a few interesting looking items on display at the SABC stall.. wonder what else they have stared away in a dark room somewhere.

    Loose Valves Bases (2018)

    A while back I had a pair of Quad II amps, two of the kt66 valves had loose bases so I tried acetone after someone suggested it to me(think it was Andre aka Kent) and it actually worked. Lots of info on the net if you google "loose valve base acetone".

    Replacement stylus

    You should also have a look on ebay. I was lucky to find a NOS original EEE-iiS stylus on there a while back.

    Plinth for Garrard 301

    I have a 40mm laminated piece of plywood with a cut-out for a 301 if you're interested. For the life of me I cannot remember what I was going to do with it but I have since sold both 301 motor units I had and no longer have a use for it. Think it might have been for a Loricraft style plinth with...
