  1. Looking for a puffin, preferably with digital out. Thanks!
  2. So I added the JEM Performance Capacitors and I am challenged to hear a difference. Only one side has been upgraded for the moment. .. listening to mono recordings to compare. I'll have my 18 year old give it a listen, maybe it's old ears. Dunno...
  3. From what I have seen, and I realize this is subjective, some folks feel that the E net work is not as sonically pleasing.
  4. Thank you, @geoff. All really good suggestions. I will follow your advice and get a better iron and leave the old cans in place.
  5. I ordered JEM Performance Audio caps and would like to perform the install myself. I know almost nothing about soldering but this is what I have - see pic. Kester 83-4000-0000 SN60PB40 Solder Pocket Pack, 0.031" Weller 25-watt Anything else? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks!
  6. Great tip. Do I need to look for the same Type B or can another type be used? I have limited knowledge of this.
  7. Looking for conventional wisdom here on a budget. Cornwall 1's that sound great but nothing to compare it to. No leaking caps so should I just let it be?
  8. Still available. Lowered price. Make me an reasonable offer!
  9. Selling a matched pair Of Westinghouse 7591 and Fisher 7591 from a recently upgraded Fisher X202-B. Tested on a calibrated Hickok 539B tube tester. Results in umhos (micromhos) as marked. As you can see, one tests a bit low. Two Westinghouse branded and two Fisher $199 OBO with $15. shipping
  10. The goal was to to just switch amps, not preamp with one pair of speakers. So in looking into this, @muelwas right, my tube amp requires speaker load. A switch will not be a good fit for me.
  11. The SP 1 Amplifier/Speaker Selector looks great but a little too high at $220. The SOLUPEAK P2 looks decent but I dont understand in either case, how you connect your RCA from the amp to the banana plugs.
  12. Howdy, I have a tube and solid state amp used with a Schitt Freya+ going to a pair of Cornwall III's. I'd like to switch to my solid state when not doing any serious listening during the day. Can anyone recommend an affordable A/B switch that will do the job? Thanks in advance
  13. Still in need of grills for my stained Cornwall's. Would like to put the money into a replacement vs trying to recover on my dodgy mounting boards.
  14. I was hoping for some sage advice on the Belden 9497 16 Gauge vs 12 Gauge Pyle Speaker Wire . Currently using the Pyle thinking less resistance was better for my CW1's. Specifically looking at the Belden sold by HighEnd Audio Auctions - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Belden-9497-Speaker-Cable-16ft-Wire-Tube-Amp-Altec-Western-Electric-Shindo-/331941506380? Audible difference?
  15. The cane is somewhat stained @001. A light scrubbing did not improve. Also the board that the cane is stapled to, needs replacing.
