Hello all -
I'm a telecommunications engineer living in Fredericksburg, Virginia. My biggest passion is photographing Bluegrass musicians (been doing that since 1986). Most of the rest of my time I'm trying to keep my audio systems up and running. Sometimes I fix things, other times I make it worse !
Here's a list of what I have on my bench or stacked up on my shelves;
QUAD II stereo pair with a lovely QUAD 22 preamp - just bought this rig on Audiogon and haven't powered it up yet.
QUAD ESL57 pair - traded a REVOX tape deck for these - I will have to replace the membranes for sure.
McIntosh MCD7008 - currently on the bench - it was eating discs (fixed that) but also wouldn't play, just spat the disc back out after 20 seconds (I've fixed this too, but now there's another problem - slightly distorted sound).
Thorens TD125. RABCO ST-8e combo - all is good here - just need to properly clean it and set the arm up.
REVOX B226 CD player - work well, am going to service it soon.
Pioneer SX-1050. I just finished repairing this one - found 1 bad cap, but replaced 90% of the electrolytic's - singing like a bird now. It was my fathers -
Pioneer CS-99A speakers - these are my fathers - I grew up listening to these and are why I'm into hifi today.
Don Allen modified Philips CDC945 cd player with 14AF7 tube output section.
I'll try to start photographing and writing about what I'm doing - a habbit I used to be good about.
Thank you all for this community - Jeromie
