[WTB. High End Tube Gear & Speakers]

Not sure how to refresh my ad. Thanks Rick
Hi Guys.
I'm looking for a variety of vintage high end tube Pre/Amps. Single piece or huge collections. Top of the line models from brands like Brook, Western Electric, Marantz & McIntosh. Ect Ect.  Some of my favorite Speakers are Altec 820's Electrovoice Patricians & Jensen imperials. Of course I want to hear about other top of the line brands & models.
Please inbox all msgs.  I'm located in Rockford IL. Distance is no problem since I travel a lot. Looks like I might be traveling to Nebraska in the next couple weeks. If you have any gear in Iowa or Nebraska please let me know. Thanks Rick


Ps. I might be parting with my Black 1986 K-Horns

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Today I tried a newer (2 yrs old) Yamaha receiver and this unit is dead silent. Sounds like its turned off. Thanks for all your help. I guess its time to tear into the big Sansui. Later Rick

Thanks Guys

[K77M Tweeters sound Bad]

Thanks guys,
That is the speaker ser #'. So what do the diaphragms cost? It sometimes sounds like a rattle. Thanks Rick

[K77M Tweeters sound Bad]

Thanks for everyones help on my K-Horn hum post. Changed amp & the hum is gone. Now that I have had some time to audition The K's properly I can hear something funny coming from the tweeters. Sounds like a rip or torn paper/plastic cone. Words with the letter S sound worse. Do the diaphragms tear or break? Can anyone tell me the man date? Ser # 265394578 Thanks Rick

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Thanks for your time.
The amp alone (No Input) makes the hum, The 1975 Sansui Amp has a 2 prong plug. The hum gets worse when I ground the unit. The guys on Audiokarma belive the problem is a bad power supply cap. Here is a link with pics & specs of the Sansui Ba-5000 Amp. Thanks Rick

Warren as in DR*Audio?

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Thanks for your time. I got this amp in Sep along with the CA-3000 & TU-9900 tunner. All in mint condition. I was told by many to recap the amp (Audio Karma) I don't want to ship this 108lb amp. I was going to look into some Chicago tech's. Thanks Rick

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

The hum is faint but there. Might not be a problem at all. I just could not elimanate it with some basic tests. The problem is moving this heavy stuff for testing. Thanks Rick

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Thanks for the reply.
The Slight hum is on both channels. DC Offset is 3 MV on both channels. The unit has never been serviced. I posted this ? on the Sansui / AudioKarma site. The hum is there weather the pre amp is on/off connected or disconnected. I will try the phono adj next. thanks Rick

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Thanks Guys, I will look at it again in the AM. The speaker wires run behind 1 of them. Thanks Rick

[Slight Hum on K Horns]

Hi,
My new to me K Horns seem to have a slight hum at idle. I can hear this coming from the tweeter & mid. Is this normal? I'm using a Sansui Ba-5000 Amp & Ca 3000 Pre Amp. I had the Sansui hooked up to a pair of AR-9's that are dead silent at idle. The dc offset is 3 MV on both channels. The unit is plugged in to a dedicated circuit. It gets worse If I ground the amp. I reversed the power plug & no difference. I tried turning off all lights & no difference. I guess these speakers were built in 1995. Any help would be great. Thanks Rick
