https://radio.garden/listen/bbc-radio-3/zFCKLI6H would this work with Dot or Echo? I access BBC Radio 3 from Hong Kong. It plays superb through my audio. radio.garden allow one to access stations around the world.

Curious if any shoot-out or empirical AB has been conducted between 303 and 50E. I know for fact that Peter Walker said, "303 is a better amp than the 50E" However, based on audition of the 303 and 50E in isolated occasions, to my ears, coupling of an output transformer to a SS amplification in...

Run into this accidentally. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5338728743&icep_item=351000820656 What would you use instead as a replacement grease for a 301 grease bearing for this modern day?

Yes, when I say MS, it's indeed silvers. You are right, I won't touch on any of the original crossover.... This is another reason why I want a 3rd party crossover to test some of my postulation.

Hi Tony, In fact, I have a pair of Tannoy MG 15 and MS 15. I do have the original crossover for BOTH pairs. I have a LOT of respect for them and won't be fiddling them without absolute certainty. However, I found that there is some sort of imbalance, in particular in the MS pair, in terms of...

I am looking at acquiring of these Tannoy 3rd party "improved" crossover. Would like to seek some experience sharing from this community in case this may be popular amongst the serious Tannoy community here in the forum...

Hi, I have recently taken delivery of a pair of the captioned amp, AM8/17. They both sound right. As a usual practice, I would look for service documentation or the very least a schematic such that I could have my technician to have a standard health check on the vintage items before long...

Would some Brik experts, help to get a sense what are the vintage of the following pairs of Brik, 1. 33xx, 33xy 2. 60xx,60xy Thanks and best. zoltm

This may sound like a stupid question but, I have to ask. Is it better to conduct this operation having the speaker unit mount on the enclosures or it's better to have the driver unit detached from the enclosures before conducting the operation?

"Place the drivers at 45 degrees at each side of you whist sat on the floor. Approx 1m from each side of the head but in sight." I re-read this couple times and still puzzle what exactly is this action..... can you re-word it a little bit. Or if this is something that would become obvious when...

You guys get me curious now. It's the first time I open up the magnet cover. I was indeed surprised I did NOT see something similar to what I saw on the speaker exchange photo. The normal unit should have a Black well textured Aluminum cap. However mine comes with a grey/silvery cap. I am...

I do not see any reference to soldering and de-soldering, does it mean the seating gap cleaning operation can indeed be performed and completed without touching the soldering gun at all?

"Slide some paper under the metal and follow it round raising the metal so the unit comes away from the seating." I am not sure about "the metal" what does that refers to?

I want to make sure I got all critical terms properly understand. 1. Seating gap. 2. Coil, diaphragm and paper ring 3. Aluminum cap I want to confirm that the Aluminum cap can indeed be separated from an integral item that is formed by the paper ring, diaphragm and coil joining together...

That's fantastic, love this community. It's less than an hour, I got a super high quality answer. I will do some homework and send in some photos to make those points more illustrative. I do hope this post would then be useful for some other newbies. Dear Strange Brew, if you don't mind, may I...
