Hi all,
It's been a couple of years since my last JBL adventure, here we go again!
I bought a pair of L100t speakers brand new in the late 80's. They departed from my custody along with my ex...
Thanks for all the encouraging comments. I agree with the general assessment of the cartridge situation, I'll leave well enough alone at present. There are so many ways to "improve" this system...
Thanks, I'm really enjoying listening to it! Debating about whether to update to a a modern cartridge. Not sure if the table warrants it....any thoughts from vinyl fans? The guy I talked to at...

Thanks to all on this forum for all the help I received while I was doing the research to build this system.
It went like this: I lost control of what used to be my stereo system because it is...
incredible jazz guitar?
there are so many but the name Pat Martino comes to mind....an album anmed Cream....
all true, budding blues guitarists world wide use a pentatonic (that's 5 of course) scale to say virtually everything....years later they use the same five notes to say the same stuff.....but if it's...
watched a youtube clip of the RAH version of Further on Up the Road together with EC.....you gotta be doing something right when The Captain smiles at you after you finish the song!
Well Put!
Well now, that's a huge topic! I would think that this would only include only albums designed as such, which pretty much excludes everything before 1966 or so.....
I'd have to devote some...
EVERY time....me too Maxwedge!
Ok, I'll bite:

Cool thread, I've been watching it. I came into a pair of 4311b's and I'm in the process of building some stands myself. Although my speakers show signs of having been wall mounted in their past,...
Thanks, a new adventure is always fun!
Done deal, now need a phono stage.....tube or ss? Why or why not?
Anybody have an old Bottlehead phono stage kit laying around? Built or not...doesn't matter. Or maybe some other tube phono...
Understood Audiobeer, you speak with the voice of Reason and the "reasonable" side of me concurs.......but the crazy side of me wants to experience a wee bit of tube audio listening before the big...
Got it, thanks for your thoughts. Vintage feel is it on this system. I do have a couple of other stereo sets that have good ss preamps, this one is for pure nostalgia in the present tense!
Thanks for all the comments, it is all fascinating. I can see some parallels to the world of vintage tube guitar amps, with which I am more familiar.
To address some questions, and to refine the...
Thanks for the ideas and suggestions, keep them coming! There is a dizzying number of options out there. I realize I'm late to this party, gave up on a Marantz 7 and it seems even the SP3 is a rare...
Well, I've got a set of 4311 b's, a Crown PS200 on the way (thanks Triumph Don), now I'm looking for a tube preamp.
Preferably something from the same era or close to it, must have a phono stage,...
thanks for the warning brutal, now that I'm prepared maybe I won't be terminally disapointed when it happens! I already pulled the trigger on those, don't know if they are ply or not....we'll see...
junkodesu? He is selling repro black wood grilles with cloth for 43xx series JBL's. How close is the cloth to the originals...or does it even matter? Seems like an ok deal for $50 shipped. I've...
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'd be open to buying one of those too for a different application if anybody knows of one.
Also would be interested in another Crown PS200 if somebody else wants...
Thanks Triumph Don, I'd like to buy it. PM sent.
