Would anyone know of a good person to calibrate a Hickok tube tester in the SF bay area?

Well I bought a beautiful pr. of 416Z from ebay and a local seller in the Bay area. Nope, don't fit. So I guess I'm looking for a "wide" lip 416a. Anyone have a pr they'd like to trade? Or want...
I have a pr of cabinet custom built for Altec 416-8b's that I'd like to replace with altec 16ohm woofers. Does someone know if 416a's or 416z's will fit the same bolt patteren and frame size as the...
Here's my new system.
Custom Onken cabinets
Altec 416b woofers
JBL 2405 Slot tweeters
TAD 4001 drivers
Altec 1003 horns
(someday I'll have wood horns, sigh)
Custom 2A3 SE monos...
Is that a bichon frise?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, my wife's favorite pup.:o:

Hapy Face, You're right on. These speakers will benefit from bi-amping. I'd like to try a pr of 2a3 amps on the bottom. If that doesn't do it, and I think it would, then maybe go solid state.
The Olympus with your walnut horns were exceptional, both in looks and sound. I've never been happy with another driver since using the TAD4001 with those 2397 clones. Hence this purchase. As you...
Thought I'd post a photo of my new system. After much JBL vintage, here are my latest aquisitions. Correct size cabs with TAD 1601's and TAD 4001's with 500hz horns. Cabinets have an unusual "horn"...
Steve,
I've also had many tube amps in the past ten years. Push-pull, OTL, Kt88, EL34, then 300b SE, 2A3 PP (14wpc) and now a 211 driven by 300b that I have yet to run. So far I liked the 2A3...
I see. These would go into the Hartsfield cabs. I wonder what the original 150-4 sensitivity was?? It seems to be cut from the same cloth.
...
Since neither of these speakers list sensitivity in the library how does one know the differences on paper?? Or do you know by experience?
Yeah, those are the ones. They may be gone already but I've emailed to find out. I talked to the guy right after they appeared but couldn't get away to pick them up. We'll see if he calls back...
Hi Widget,
The crossover is a JBL 3115 and I thought I might try a pr. of 130a 8ohms woofers that are available. My LE15s have a rub and may get a full reconing.
What would be the result if I mixed an 8ohm woofer with a 16ohm compression driver using a 16ohm crossover. ie 130a and 2441. Would I be guessing correctly that the woofer would be somewhat...
Do you have a price in mind for one or both of the B460's or are you set on epay? PM me if you like. Thanks.
Ken, You've got a pm.
If it's an S8R, it will have the N7000 xover and an 075 tweeter in addition to the (substituted) LE85.
Today I enjoyed a short visit to Zilch's sound lab & emporium. The fare of the day was a listen to his mini-everest setup. Very empressive. My ususal critical listening is many hours of hearing...
I'm sure someone else here can give you a more in depth answer, but to me the line level preamp adds gain to all input devices whereas a full function preamp has an extra phono input (stage) that...
Here's a shot of the diaphram on the "opened" 375. Looks like it's the original wouldn't you say?
The seller said they "sound great". Do you think it would hurt them to try to run them? They were just shipped to my home, maybe that's the conection issue.
Another question, the "good one" has...
BTW this driver still has the wax seals.
I saw a pr. of 375 drivers that looked nice but when I measured them one was 6.7 and the other read 92.7! Would someone tell me what this likely indicates?
Thanks!
I rarely play vinal and have been without a phono section for some time. Just got a one-off battery powered unit and have rekindled the love.:D
Now playing Elvin Jones, "It don't mean a...
