You would ideally need something that is 22K Linear - Stereo (Dual). More likely to source a 10K, 25K or 50k lin pot in my experience. Not a log pot which is for the volume. Back in the day - Maplins (no longer) stocked a decent-ish 22k. Give HiFi Collective a call - they are very good but can...

a.palfreyman - thanks for mentioning me. Reading this thread made me realize that it's over five years since I last opened up an A&R A60 amp. I used have at least one of them on the bench being modified/upgraded. The notes and tips already posted here are pretty much what I would have said. 1...

When I did more touring ( decades ago) - we did not always take our own system on the road. Sometimes, we would supplement the in house system with a locally arranged pa hire but not always. The aim of the team on the renovation of Massey Hall, Toronto was to install a system that no touring...

I go to quite a lot of concerts, here in Toronto and elsewhere. I used to be in UK at many of the aforementioned venues ( both with shows and as audience ) so know and have heard both great and bad sound, often in the same venue, even between support act and the headliner. Not always the...

My Quad FM # is connected to a Magnum ST2 Aerial. https://www.magnumdynalab.com/st-2-omnidirectional-fm-antenna/ Not outside but just leaning up against the bookcase that the Quad sits on. Works just fine here in Toronto and even did when I lived 4500 feet up from sea level in the mountains of...

There is a vintage McIntosh system in our local coffee shop - Jet Fuel - Toronto. It's also at the centre of the hifi system in the Tv series "Bosch". The amp is a McIntosh 240.

Elco = electrolytic capacitor In the service manual its the same tags for 220v and 240v so I would assume there is some tolerance built into the power supply side of things.

You can find the user guide and the service manual at HiFi Engine. https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/quad/606.shtml You will have to register with the site (free) in order to download the pdf. The service manual does have details of how to set the incoming power voltage - what tags to...

For me it was listening to her show in the mid to late 70's whilst doing schoolwork for O and then A levels. "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" was the intro theme to her shows and as others have noted, her choices were often a pathway to the more energetic Peel shows on weekday nights.

Mike Maybe I am just wifi lucky. :) I have just been working on a changeover to a Pi4 / LMS set up and running it from my basement - as that is is the most handy place. The Pi4 seems to have no problems serving three other RaspPi and one Wiim - even with different queues of songs lined up...

I feel sorry for your wife - my spouse and I have been in that scenario. She reacts badly to bedbugs but I seem not to. She takes Reactine that helps to calm down the reaction. When relocating pack all your clothing into a bin bag except the clothes you are wearing. Go to a laundromat and put...

Just a few weeks ago I bought a lightly used Wiim Pro and found that super easy to set up and get going. I knew this amp version was in the pipeline and I look forward to testing it for myself. It will be great to read other PFM responses from actual listening. Keep it going.....

I have a Pi set up with a HDD formatted as ExFat. Picore Player rather than Volumio. Not the same set up as yours so this reply is probably not of much use. Anyhow. The HDD can be seen and I have files copied back and forth both from my Windows Desktop and my MacBook Air laptop.

As a JR149 owner I covert those woofers but I just don't think the lovely wife imagines them as a "coffee table" in the living (listening) room. Alas.

I have a pair of (cheaper) MA R252 bought with my first proper salary cheque in 1985. Still going strong in my basement system.
