Chrisflex,               If I was going to clean up the rough speakers to look good again, I would remove the plastic vinyl stuff by peeling it off. It is usually stuck on with a contact glue which by now has become either brittle or soggy.  Sand down the wood or mdf which you find under the...

I agree with all above plus it shows that he has a REAL father, one who obviously supported him in all his dreams and aspirations. Without his parents support and encouragement, he would have stayed a quiet,shy etc nonachiever. Ask me how I know. I see on a daily basis ,and council those who...

i want to be like Rodney Rough Rider.I have heard in my own listening room the difference between a NAD 3020 and a Plinius 200 watt amp. The extra power is audible from the first watt.

@ Steerpike. Is that you standing next to those other Revoxes in your avatar? If so ,you have very sucessfully copied your "old" avatar. Very clever. Your work on the hybrid Revox is nothing short of magnificent, the level of commitment is admirable.

So,  what this excercise has taught me is that we all will need a variety of systems for our varying moods, and if the cost of only the many pre amps needed is so exorbitant then what will we end up spending on the rest of our varying systems?  Therefor we all can assume that in our relentless...

I fall asleep listening to the music and wake up suddenly to find the music has stopped playing. Fortunately I dont have yellow cones to glare at me or NAD equipment to keep me awake.

I think the right person to speak to is our very own Ghost in the machine of this forum. Or I might be wrong.

Greetings Maestro, I am one of the fortunate people who own a set of Quad 11 mono blocks which have been restored to their former glory by the revered Ampdog> If I can offer some good advice, "get those two Quads to Ampdog as soon as possible." Everyone who has listened to my amps have been...

To all those professed "hoarders", dont feel guilty, This guy is a real hoarder.

The second set of Quads are already sold??

After listening to a  HK system like yours, you will find most amps like Marantz,NAD,Yamaha etc sounding 'thin' in comparison. I had my HK system stolen and the insurance gave me enough to buy a Denon replacement system and even though the amp is more powerful than the old HK amp, the sound is...

The biggest advantage by going used speakers route is that you hear exactly what you are getting before you even put your money down. The problem for me going DIY is that you dont know what it sounds like until you have finished building it and if it then sounds "wrong" for your ears,you are...

Pre amp = ARC LS 5 Power amp = Graaf GM 20 OTL.

Francois, I have also learnt in my life time that "make me an offer" sellers are trying to catch someone who isn't aware of real prices and then takes that person to the cleaners. I am also relieved in a way that he didn't accept your offer because I spent a lot of time thinking. Where will I...

I am an old fogey and drive a Merc E-500 auto. I still have fun at traffic lights when the "main manne" in their Subaru WRX impreza's get left behind on the pull away I like auto and big V-8 motors. I can't choose the "old fogey" part ,it just happens

Francois lent me a Goldring 1042 to test on the Moxie turntable which I got from Ghostie, and when my "help" had finished cleaning the workbench, the stylus was crescent shaped. I am still saving up to replace the stylus. Fortinately Francois is not in too much of a hurry to get the Goldring...

Will Schalk honour his "Life time" guarantee when the insulation cracks off and the amp releases its "magic smoke" even VA Preedator has a breaking point.

There is this joke. My grandfather on his deathbed gave me this sound advice "it's a good thing to spend some money on a good set of speakers"
