Thanks again!  Forgive me - it was to easy and I always look for complicated. 

PS:  I am 72 and there is a lot of aluminum in me!

Thanks for the reply,  I didn't see the way to change the background!  So back to the dark,  😀   

Hello all  -  so am I seeing things properly ? 🧐 

If I go to this site as a not logged in surfer the old (dark) Forum pops up,  no new posts available.  Then after login the new (bright) Forum is available,  and every time I log in I get an email saying new device login.  Just my old brain cogs wondering if this is normal?  or me over thinking progress.🙄

Shawn Phillips seen live   Mp3/4  awesome

I have Bridge over troubled water and the quality is poor. CBS lable 1971 pressing. Sounds poorly engineered

I hear you,  these were the days of record companies 10  for a dollar, if you buy 3 for full price.  My copy is as you say -  low fi!  

It was for the track Bridge,  that was the song on the outside grove side 2 that got the finger traffic.    I did not even like any of the other tracks.  To the trash bin with this record.  I can get it on uTube if needed/or not.

On the good side it was placed next in my collection to Supertramp        Even In  The Quietest Momenents . . .     that made my day for Vinyl  over internet!

Thanks for that -  the entire Supertramp was awesome.     A keeper for sure!

I believe mine are homemade plywood cabs. Has a lot of pencil marks for the cuts etc etc. Both horns are vertical in mine, but I believe the mid horn is the same as yours, the woofer is below that, and the rectangle shaped vent is even below that. Was your mid horn painted at some time ? Mine has a sorta gun metal color. Or yours could be a different horn altogether.

 

That gorgeous grill, I dont have that, mine is a plain wood frame with cloth over it. Mine I'm sure was made to some plan supplied by EV.

Cool.

The mid horn is the early fiberglass  EV 8HD,  I also have the later pot metal  8HD version.

 

Vertical is the proper alignment for both the EV tweeter and mid horn.   My cabinets are rear ported into the corner.

 

 

I have a T350/M1823 and sp 12 with x8 and X36's. I would probably back them as my best speakers.

Cool.

Srinath.

 

Very nice old EV gear.  What cabinet do you have?

 

I hate to mention it but I also have a pair of the EV Aristocrat speakers.

 

 

 

If you need parts for your Rabco I've got a "decomissioned unit" from an ex-member ( Given to Me) I could send you ( It is fully functional).

Well that is quite an offer!  There is a site on the www showing adjustments,  etc.  on the Rabco SL-8E arm.  So far mine works fine but it is over 40 years old.  

 

Any reason you would not use this on a TT yourself?  I would be glad to help.

 

If not, I would to love to talk/type further about a new home for it.   chris

How does the Thorens TT , Rabco arm work? Always been interested in that arm.

 

Thanks,

Wayne 

 

As the original owner since 1974 I have had no problems.  The owner must be a fiddler/mechanic to be happy.

 

The Thorens was purchased with a blank tone arm board.  The rear right spring in the TT had to be modified for the extra weight.  Also the dust cover was raised,  with a plex-glass window add for clearance.

 

To boost the MC signal I use a Mark Levinson JC-1AC  pre-preamp.

 

 

 

 

 

Come on - you can't dangle a juicy carrot in front of us like that without details...

 

Spill the beans - inquiring minds want to know !!!

 

Besides, I want to see if you get a chance to detail the parts before Phil sees this and we get an encyclopedia article on your gear !!! 

 

 

 

To further the madness I made these as rear surrounds for the main rig.   EV powered Belle clones.

 

 

Welcome to best collection of very smart and giving people on any audio site. If you have any problems or questions, someone here will be able to help you out. You have already sent pictures of your system, so that is taken care of.  Watch out for OCCD,  it will get you.

 

Again welcome,

 

Wayne 

 

That was the bedroom nearfield system.

 

This is the living room front setup.  The madness started early here.

 

 

 

Cool !!

 

What are the next pieces you will be looking for ? 

 

Well - the pix was old,  updated to show Sony dual cassette,   Sony DVD/CD player,  and Thorens TD-125 MK II,,using Rabco SL-8E arm/Ortofon MC-20 Super cartridge.  Also laptop with USB connection for WWW sound.

 

 

Thanks for the interest. I have the Electrovoice SM120A with the EV 1824M driver.

Hello all- new to Bob Carver and the smiles that his gear can give!

I am retired and got the CT-17 Pre/tuner to use as a bedroom stereo. Starting with an old QSC amp.. powering homebrew monitors. More gear to be added soon.
