I need help with a very old mono valve tt and tape player ( wire recorder ) it is made by Charleroi ACEC Electonique. It is really a stunning piece of history and in fair condition. I need some replacement valves and one is missing but I migh be able to track it down from the owner. My goal is...

Okay so now the big question, if you had to sell all but one pair, who will stay? To be honest I have a number of speakers which I enjoy chopping and changing on a regular basis and a couple that are on there way. Must just get the cabs restored back to former glory. Each pair is unique and...

Achim that is incredible, very nice. By the looks of the room and flooring, do you have a old suspended floor, and if so did you have to add extra beams to support the weight. Serious load bearing monster speakers. Art work is crazy, unique and very cool, compliments the whole setting. Do you...

Thanks for all the feedback, very proud of my system and what I have managed to achieve on a low budget for a high end system. I have used the mains as rears as I do not have a back wall but the beauty of the Definatives is the fact that they are a dipole design speaker and the drivers are...

Mission complete, have spent a number of years tracking down my ultimate home theater on the second hand market, patience pays off. No yellow cones so I decided to paint my DIY floating shelf yellow. Meridian - 568 processor, 596 DVD, M33 centre, M60 mains, M2500 sub, 605 mono blocks for rear...

Amazing speakers, they are actually my old Penta's, traded them in with Shamil for his M60's Meridian floor standers. Incredible base, detailed mids and highs, warm sound. Must say I will buy another pair in the future. You do not need a sub with the Penta's, I also had a pair of Belob 6000 and...

Kinkyafro nice setup's you have, question I see you are using some sort of power regulator / surge protector, can you tell me more. Regards.

Not to sure about the clingwrap, but had a look on ebay and that looks like my only option. not to expensive for a 40m roll. Should give me some extra material to practice the tensioning. Will report back on my findings and success I hope.

I have a pair of Quad esl 57's, the dust covers, front and back protect the panels from dust etc from getting in between the Mylar stators. Must say when I took it apart there was a c load of rubbish that collected over the years. I was also a bit surprised to find dust covers but just to keep...

My collection is growing on a weekly basis and time is not really a issue for me, my main objective is to have dirt free records and to eliminate the pops. Is it possible to clean a record by hand and achieve the same result as a vacuum cleaner system. Thanks for the offer Hi-Phibian, not a bad...

I am in the process of replacing the dust covers on a set of ESL's, dose anybody know where I can get Mylar film locally? I asked google but not much luck. It needs to be really thin 6 microns.

my wife got so frustrated with my vinyl she went out and bought me a clear plastic crate with separate wheel base that I can move around as I please. Works very well.

I figured my next mission is to get a record cleaner, there are a number on the market but the question is which one. It must work and not cost the earth. I have never experienced the result and is it worth it or should I just continue cleaning by hand and try the wood glue option.

I would buy time, give me more time to spend listening to music, time with family and time to go windsurfing.

Hi all, I picked up a Ortofon test record, interesting and after reading the instructions I am still not sure what I suppose to hear and what I am not meant to hear. any advice? Do the set LP's work?

Just bought some new vinyl @ the listening room Cape Quarters. Had a listen to there Quick Silver and Vandersteens, awesome. Nice small selection of new vinyl.

try Mullard Radio & TV Services 122 Voortrekker Road (McDonald Road), Cape Town, South Africa

Hey Jq can I have my turntable back now ;D, smashing job. look forward to see the final master piece.

Very cool, looks like new. every component is clean and polished. I am a B&O fan and have not come across a B&O valve setup yet. Can one use 8ohm speakers on a classic like that?

I owned a pair of paper box speakers back in the day, donated them and upgraded.
