As some us go to great lengths or over stretch ourselves or even stoop too low, Ray has gone to new heights in his Audio Quest. Good work Ray. See new home...
Unlike Ray's installation, my house is shaded by 200-year old trees which cannot be cut down to provide better FM reception. Thus, the three Radio Shack FM-6...
Hi all, I have enjoyed the posts about DIY speakers recently. I have recently finished 'designing' and building a pair of small floor standers for my dining...

-Hello Derek, Very nice work. I love DIY speaker projects, especially when they give a new life to old components. What about your main speakers? Do they also...
Hi Ray, My main speakers are BBC LS3/5a monitors by Spendor. I have recently re-housed them in some new cabinets (rose wood veneer) made to BBC specification...
Hi All: About 20 years go, an old high school friend patented a speaker that used two ten inch drivers secretly connected a special way plus three dome...
Gentlemen, I need advise. I have a Dynaco FM-3 tuner. I am planning on doing the popular PEC and power supply mods. Also I will be replacing all non-ceramic ...
Hello PM, Here is one opinion. I would keep the tube tuner and get a Sansui (x)17. Any of the three. They sound good and probably will be less problematic for...
Jim, thanks for the response. Your opinion is valuable. I again went to the Sansui section of the TIC and re-read what has been written about each of the x17 ...
I happen to own a FM-3 which I did modify at least in the de- emphasis circuit. It sounds much brighter and less woody than in its original form. Your...
In case my first query was overlooked; I am asking again if anyone has ever encountered a speaker using two ten inch woofers in a "secret" patented hookup and...
I believe it's a great audio/video room. I especially like the diffusion/absorbtion of the toys. And at least two tuners! And tubes! These are exciting times...
I have a couple of good preamps, and some good power amps, but none of them have headphone jacks. What's the easiest way to add a headphone jack to a preamp...
My opinion/experience: Simple mods to my FM3 made it sound better than my Magnum Dynalab FT-11. Mod away and enjoy!!!!!!! D ... another ... above ... STJ-...
not sure if you can connect a headphone to a pre-amp and yet get good results. A pre-amp out is typically 'high' impedance and headphone is 'low' impedance. ...
The preamps are very low source imp outs (cathode follower on one and about 100 to 1k on the other). I thought someone might know of a matching circuit I...
The easiest thing to do is turn on your cassette or reel to reel deck and set it to source monitoring. The electronics should be extremely transparent for...
Hello D Sorry to be so late in responding. Nearly all integrated/power amps and receivers with headphone outputs just connect them to the speaker outs through...
Thanks Ray!! The resistor would be a series resistor, I assume (watch that spelling!)? Dave ... amps ... speaker ... to ... source ... to ... none ... ...
Hi Dave, Yup, series,and should be 1 or 2 watt carbon,not wire wound. If your amp has A-B speaker selector switching you could connect your speakers to A and...

Sweet. We need interior shots! Also, were the towers original or added? If added, what are they and what do they do? Inquiring minds... Greg in Minneapolis ...
Hi Greg, I've created a folder in our photos section titled SCOTT NIXON. It has an interior shot. Also a shot of a fancy Bottlehead Foreplay where I got the...
