REGARDS SNOW

I am bored, and you are paying the price.
Here are the innards of a somewhat bastardized Heathkit SS-1 speaker from the 1950s. The woofer is a Jensen P8RX, not the P8RL that should be in there. Indeed, the P8RXs I have look to me to be recones, but so it goes.

Found the speakers at the dump some years back, with nasty R/S 8" woofers replacing the Jensens but the RP-103 horns intact and working. Bought the P8RXs to replace the R/Ss; one of my first eBAY purchases.

Finally found a good home for these (besides my basement, that is).

Very simple but not necessarily in a bad way.

Nice vintage stuff as usual...:cool:

They actually sound pretty good. Amazingly present and lifelike midrange.

My Cambridge Audio 840C has arrived! First impression versus. . . Oppo/PS Audio Trio A-100, What? Kick that duo to the curb. The Azur is in the house!

... and way, way at the other end of the spectrum...

How about an S-5 Electronics "K-12" kit (actually the almost identical K-502 from www.tubesandmore.com, which used 11BM8 tubes instead of 11MS8s), with its seldom-seen factory enclosure kit?

This very modest amp is very nice sounding and a great intro to tube kit building or tube hifi for that matter.

Happened to have the top off Saturday and snapped a few photos in the morning sun.

If you are referring to the round blue casing, that is a transformer. Its an off the shelf sealed torroidal tranny, you can get them at Digikey or Mouser.

Yes a nice little toroid.I bought one from Digi key to use in my modded DVD/SACD player.

Actually I was referring to that ...and I stand corrected....When I looked at the picture and saw the way the voltages were labeled at both ends of the component it was identical to the many solid state relays I had worked with over the years. When I saw where it was mounted on the board, and the ac coming in extremely close to it ...all pointed to ssr ....hadnt seen toroidal transformers encased that small before. I figured the transformer would be larger and remotely mounted. Good catch...I was so intrigued I looked up the manufacturer... http://www.amveco.com/Low_Profile_PC.htm

I popped the top on my Musical Fidelity A308. Not as robust as some the amps above but the best in my house so far. I am very pleased with the way it sounds. It makes me smile while listening instead of wishing for something better.

I see a drive motor for your large knob... interesting.

got it?

Very nice,dual mono using a pair of hefty looking toroids.MF have a great track history of making great sounding gear. The Audio store I used to work at back in the mid 80's carried the line and I have fond memories of the little
A1 integrated (20 watts pure class A) and the monsterous A470 and A570 beasts also pure class A.

Musical Fidelity makes some robust but sensible innards.

Thanks guys. I really like this piece of equipment.

Does this work?

I'd just like to go on record as saying this thread offends me and I wish it to be shut down.

Ricardo

I opened the Belles for the first time today for some dusting. I posted pictures of this one before the upgrade to reference somewhere in this thread.

That's a mother fu(ker toroidal :eek:

Looks like you could use that as a table saw also:D

Found this little guy at the dump two weeks ago. It works, although output from one channel is low.

nice find...

Opened my B&K av5000, not long after I recieved it, to work on the gain pots. Its unbelievable how huge the transformer and the 4 blue ps caps are. The biggest I have seen so far. No wonder it weighs a ton. Will take pics tomorrow. I have seen other 100w/ch amps, but nothing that compares to this amp.

You're not allowed to talk about equipment without a pix...

Did you miss the memo?:rolleyes:
