I asked my pal Ken Valliant to try and build a DIY 12 inch tonearm. Results of his latest valiant effort are on the Home Page. I'll add a photo folder too. A...
Hello all, This is my first post as a recent joiner and lurker. I'm pretty new to getting serious about modifying my audio components and the elusive pursuit...
My vote would be for a good quality soft dome. That said I just picked up a pair of speakers MTM with a Ribbon tweeter, my first ribbon. WOW, I like it very...
... The pros and cons for either material are very simple: Some people like them and some don't. It appears from your experience that hard dome tweeters lead...
... I don't believe thats the case. Not all hard dome tweeters affect me that way. I was thinking since this particular tweeter dome is damaged that may be the...
I'll assume they won't mind me borrowing the photo as I'm posting the link too. jim... http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/69/696451.html...

(Praise de lawd and Hi-i-ide the silvah de young Massha am BACK!) Yeah I decided to have a bittuva rest from groups EXCEPT AA. anyways here's the audio DIY...
... NB I haven't yet read the other posts. However, one of the BIG issues with going active on existing OEM passive xover spkrs is getting a good match to the...
I was reading this post(keep in mind it's 6am) and was thinking wow, I planning the same thing. Then realized hey, that is my post. LOL. I have put the project...
I have recently brought a Singer portable record player, which uses AC current or batteries, back from the dead. The last thing I am hoping to do is eliminate...
Sounds like a power supply filter cap has gone away. The schematic shows a connection for an external AC adapter, which presumably outputs a DC voltage....
Thanks - I will check that out. I know that while I was working on it I was using the AC adapter. I don't remember whether or not I ran it on batteries....
LarryO - I put in batteries and you were right no more hum, just a quiet background whooosssh. Unlikely a unit like this gets much more quiet than that! If...
Anybody try these? I liked them very much. Donsidering all tweaks in the last 5 years, these had the most positive impact, with the gold plated fuses coming in...
I have been thinking of trying them for some time now. But, just was not sure. Would you care to describe the benfits you got from them? I guess know one else...
I am not sure if I should be bothering you folks in this group with my amateurish audio problems...also, because it is actually part of my HO train hobby audio...
Thanks, Larry. But nope. That didn't work. Still a great hum that increases if I place my hand anywhere on the stereo amp metal cabinet or controls etc....
Well, seems I am not so inept at my new hobby as I am cheap. The problem was a shorting RCA cable that I pulled out of the junk drawer. Should have known...
I recently purchased the tuner off E-bay..everything works..but when I tune a FM station the readout is off by .1,,,I mean if i tune to the stations ...
Post this on the FMTuner list for a more comprehensive answer (and solutions), but I believe that indicates that the tuner needs to be aligned... not uncommon...
