    Thank you Horn Fanatic for a clear explanation of cabinet resonance and speaker cone movement. I'm certain 1950's engineers carefully calculated exactly how much if any "porting" would be optimal. I...

    Yes it is...but the question remains....should the cover be removed thus venting or porting the cabinet, OR should it remain as it is in the photo, effectively sealing the cabinet air tight? Isn't...

  7. JBL C36 configuration 02 load...should cabinet be sealed?

  9. N2400 cap replacement

  11. Still waiting for my Solen 6.2 caps...then will rebuild that pesky N2400

    My last step would be a new diaphragm in my 075 bullet if the new caps don't do what I hope. Pretty fun listening to mono discs that I've collected over the years. Vinyl is a great way to slow down...
  12. Bogen mono amp arrived...huge headroom...love the sound. Now the N2400

    Amp sounds great with the C36...lots of power...still hearing noise (distortion) in the vocals...most pronounced at lower volume level. Found a nice matching box to combine the stereo source material...

  14. Mono integrated tube amp to match C36 002 configuration

    Wondering what a C36 speaker with 075 D123 and N2400 divider would love as far as a mono tube amp. Would a 35 watt Bogen DB-130 work? Any opinions appreciated
