    beware of chinese capacitors

    Francois of Audio Exchange has a cluster of faulty Chinese transistors hanging at his door to frighten the flies away, they look like spiders There must be about thirty of thes shiny things with their legs bristling ominously. Chinese is a very costly learning experience.  B@st@rds

    Power amplifier

    Thanks for a very good answer Ingvar, My post only exposed my ignorance. In other words, there is no inexpensive way of getting this amp to play good music. Then my advice to OP is to look for a good used hifi amp , either on this Forum or do some shopping at Cash Diverters etc. Good hunting.

    Power amplifier

    Since the OP wants to use this amp, couldn't he go and buy one of those 100V transformers and connect his speaker via the transformer as was the original  manner of use?  In the situation where this amp was used , it must have also been used for background music ,as well as announcements and...

    Stripped screw on my B&W M1 wall mount - what do i do?

    Another remark from the peanut gallery. If the screw only goes into the bracket a short way and then gets stuck, maybe you have cross threaded it. The best advice is go to Tswhatevergp, and let him fix it for you . From the sounds of it , he knows all about taps drills and threads.

    Special Old School Bookshelf Speakers Suggestions

    What about some AR 11's  and those big KEF 104's if my memory serves me well. For good looking speakers there were the big Sansui  and Pioneers with the wooden lattice grilles.

    Remastered *%#$!?@!!!

    I agree with Shonver as to the quality of the remastered music on Deezer. I was unpleasantly surprised when I dialed up Beatles classics on Deezer and found that the nasal John Lennon sound was missing in all the tracks I listened to, The remastered tracks sound very much like a very good...

    Output transformerless valve power amplifier

    @kubusi,    Trancendent Sound sells kits and also Bruce Rozenblit has a book out which describes in detail how to design and build a 15 watt OTL amplifier, I used to own a Graaf GM 20 OTL which sounds amazing.  Treble and mids never heard before or since on any other amp. Andre of this forum...

    I am leaving this forum ..

    I like Fdlsys' reply. I have met Ilko in person and he is always " interfering with science" by trying to improve his kit. @ Ilko.  Dont stop being who you are , and dont leave the forum. Many genius' were not taken seriously either.

    Grey water to toilet cistern - possible systems?

    What about using a fish tank (aquarium) water pump? If they are safe for fish, will they not be safe for humans?

    Pet-peeves

    ^^ They are trying to justify having spent the better part of a bar on a car. They could have bought a Chery for much less which uses the same amount of fuel .  That's my theory.

    Standmount Fest, Ming-Da, Perreaux VA product release [12 Nov 2016]

    I notice the lack of Tannoy speakers. Can I bring your Tannoy D900 "bookshelves" just for fun.? I'm joking of course, but are there no Tannoy bookshelf speakers out there?
