I agree with blue, if they are in good shape and everything works you can't touch them for that. They were my first Polks in '78. Serial number 572 and 3. Better crossover quality than now or even my...
I just got 5 of Alan Maher's CBF's (circuit breaker filter) and I consider them the best bang for the buck tweak as well as the most immediately noticeable without a doubt as well.
They are a...
I remember first bi-wiring and finally bi-amping my 1.2's and what an improvement it made. Enjoy! I was an NAD dealer back in the day and sold a few of those amps - none ever had problems.

I had some extra Kimber 4TC and redid the internals of my SDA 1's. Talk about wire that's a pain to work with times 6 drivers per box. It helped a little, not worth the effort. Crossover upgrades...
As per Jeff @ Sonicraft I kept the .25uf, got rid of the silver micas (750pf). Also got rid of the polyswitchs. Right out of the gate it is a very impressive improvement. The HF is WAY better in...
Went to the store and that size did it. Much appreciated.
I do use spades and I am going back to the hardware store today to try that size. Much appreciated!
they do, thanks
Yes when I re-do my x-overs I wil replace them. Not ready for that big a project time or financially. I have been getting parts here and there. I have foil inductirs for the HF side and Mills...
I will buy some nice WBT's which I can get at cost. In the mean time I want to just put better nuts than the stock plastic to better hold the wire in place. Can you help on that F1? Do you know the...
I took a red and black plastic stock binding post nut to my local hardware store that has a great stock and found they threaded onto a 5/16" fine thread perfectly. I then bought 8 nuts to replace the...
There is a .4 and .7 coil in the HF side. Anyone know the DCR of these two.And if you do how about the 1 and 2 mH on the LF side. Thanks in advance. I swear I posted this already but its gone now.
I have SDA-1's with Oak veneer. SO much nicer than the vinyl crap. I also put brown grill cloth on them. I always hated black cloth on a brown wood toned speaker.
Regardless of what you think of the man, his product and the like this is both disturbing and a little funny. It should serve as a caveat to buyers of his items. His Audiogon ad with this as a first...
Put me on the payroll as a consultant for $1K/ week. It will be the best money you ever spent.
It took time and trials to find the best spots. Luckily my opening is in the center so I don't have an L. Jon Risch's DIY is what I used. Cheap and effective.

This one works fine. Just did a frequency sweep and it sounded clean. DCR measures 7.6 w/my DVOM low batt indicator just came on. $15 plus actual shipping, I will pack it up well for free....
I will make you an interconnect. You can even decide what type wire you want to use. Matching what you have is a good idea. Let me know here or PM or email.
Butler stuff is cool. Mostly all hybrid with tube driver stage and SS outputs. I have their car amps that are balanced by the way and sold them starting in 1994. They were reliable too.
which stands for Board certified Hearing Instrument Specialist. His article is mostly good and shows he never had a good hearing aid fitter. The digital aids that he voted all bad can be turned into...
My gear is the same as 3 years ago but my system sounds WAY better! Why? Mods and tweaks. Room treatment, wall outlets and covers, footings, better caps and so on....
When you look at some pretty nice crossovers by some good manufacturers like JM LAb/Focal you see that they use a nice quality series caps but the parallel caps are much lower grade electrolytic. So...
I hear you. Unemployed almost a year now- no more benefits. Can't quite live on wifes pay. No added debt yet but savings almost gone.
But to the topic Bent has cool stuff. I talked to Mr. Chapman...
I don't really understand why you want a specific link(s). The point of the post is there are a lot of good deals in all categories from many sellers, probably due to the weak economy. Besides I have...
