khorn51 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I found two klipschorn stlyed hifi cabints one is loaded with cool 50's gear. The othe twin was never populated. I saw theses khorn styled cabinets ect on Craig list and juat had to have them, never really thought I had a chance as they were price real real fair(did i say cheap). Anyone ever heard of the Audiophlie custom? This stuff looks very high end and real well made. Even came with a mint custom made klipschorn with trusonic bass driver and altec 802b monted on wooden horn that look like the orig proto type klipsch mid horn. This khorn was electronicly cross over with tube electronics. The funny thing is i never look at craig list and there it was the next town over 6 miles from home. Now to see how that altec 802b/woodhorn compares to my klipsch drivers. hope to have this up and running soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wow, you got a Browning AND an adapted KHorn with a Stephens 103LX in one fell swoop! Outstanding! The Trusonic was normally crossed over at 800 Hz, so you are right in the wheelhouse with the 802D driver. You could find a 511 lens that would do a better job, along with a 902 driver, but sometimes having a vintage original is more aesthetically pleasing. Browning is one I have only heard of, so you found a real rare one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorn51 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I should have this up and powering the khorn it came with in the next week.. Now to hunt for some more MONO recodings. I still cant not find any info on "the audiophile custom". only company using audphile in the 50's was Audiphile records. From what I read about the owner of Audiphlie records was he made a lot of custom electronics for his studio, maybe he had somthing to do with this?

seti Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 There is gold in them old consoles. I always pray I'm the first to get to them when I see them. That turntable and controls are classic. Awesome score!!!! If your interested I scanned a proffesional turntable and tonearm article I found in a 1950's Popular Electronics article. It has a blurb about your Pickering tonearm on that table. http://picasaweb.google.com/iain42/PopularElectronics?feat=directlink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
