Seems the PS-1400 was very prone to an amp failure, and that IMO really turned people away from that otherwise stellar system.
So much has happened during my absence from this forum. This is one thread I did not want to see, but am pleased that so many remembered and spoke well of Tom.
I am blessed to have known Tom...
IIRC from my tech school days, electricity travels about 90% of the speed of light. That's about 165,000 miles per second or 871,000,000 feet per second (VERY rough numbers). If the long cable ran to...
Very well stated, especially about the founders and admins, many of who wither had direct connections to JBL or were a part of the speakers and other equipment we love so much. It's a BIG part of...
All change comes with good and bad. This site has always been a labor of love by the folks that run and manage it, so I always feared that as we all got older the steam would run out and it would go...
Sweet!
One of the things I've found curious is why the cards mount with the component side down? It's really not much if an issue for passives like caps, but the LF board has an option for an...
Thanks! I don't know how in the world I missed your thread, I really thought I had all the photos and info on these that there was to be had.
That photo you attached is gold! Do you recall if the...
Thanks for your offer! All I need is one card to validate the physical aspects. The layout appears to use standard through hole spacing, but having examples of the HF and LF cards would speed things...
I also need a couple of other dimensions for verification purposes. To get these you would need to remove one of the cards. It should be pretty easy to do so, but with the rarity of the DX-1 I would...
I have done my best using photographs (Bless JBL for the 0.05" hatch marks on the main board) but I really need a test fit to make sure. I figure that this community is the most likely to locate a...
One of my design decisions is that I want the crossover cards to be electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the originals. The electrical is a slam dunk as I have photos showing the...
Back in the hobby after a long hiatus with a foot injury that has sidelined me for the summer. To pass the time I decided to build a DX-1 electronic crossover since I've always wanted one, they are...
Posting one paragraph at a time since carriage returns are being stripped when I save.
This is by any chance? http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?27199-DIY-quot-4345-quot-Project&p=292188&viewfull=1#post292188
Dammit, reading through that thread again gives me...
The universe is supposed to be a hard, cold, uncaring place, but I've noticed that when you are doing something for the right reason a lot of times the stars do tend to line up right. You are...
You did great finding a pair so quickly and at a great price too! I'd only mentioned them to give you awareness as you began your search. Before I got my pair I'd scoured CL, eBay, and other sites...
Tom, that's too funny - I started out in produce before I went back to school at 30 and eventually into IT. :applaud:
I'd also recommend the L1's, but also add 18Ti's, and XPL-90A's. All three will fit in your budget, though the L1's are more likely to pop up.
I listen to 18Ti's all day in my office and find...
I just assumed Harman would use their excellent merchandising strategy for Selenium that's been so successful for JBL.
That long and you can still still buy them in the US? Does Harman know about this?
Lots of good packing info here: http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?10246-Packing-Instructions
I didn't like the way they sounded, but might have been how I used them. Mostly sounded fine, but had a definite horn/honky sound at some frequencies. I wound up going with 2344a's, different animals...
It's important to note that the frequencies where this takes place is WAY above the audio frequency range.
I'm happy to be one of those people who either are objective enough or deficient enough...
Now THAT will be an experience, and if I could I certainly would! I'm amazed to see that I own a pair of speakers that made your collection - XPL-200A's. As good as they are I expect they sometimes...
