This is the last of the "wave" watches from Omega. I was going to buy the 2254.50 (which was the James Bond Seamaster) but got a great deal on the 300 Chrono

Receivers and speaker synergy is important. My Realistic STA-2000D sounded way too bassy with a pair of HPM-700 speakers (which sound FANTASTIC with my Sansui 771) but is really great matched with Realistic Mach 1 speakers in my garage. But Realistic (Radio Shack) paired and sold them together...

The problem is they are in a big basement and the space is too big for them. I'm not sure.if Regnar is still in business and while the surrounds are still ok I've plenty of experience dojng them myself. Rick Cobb has surrounds for them. They are the same as the Advent surrounds.

My everyday Omega..

I have a pair of DQ-20s hooked up to my Yamaha CR-1020. I also have an Infiniti Sub hooked up for the bottom end. Sounds great. The highs and mids on the DQ-20 are EXCELLENT. Hope to get a higher power amp as the Dahlquists LOVE power.

Awesome, classy watch.

It's a Salt and Pepper set I got in Jamaica. LOL

Do the $20 reform yourself and take your wife out to dinner with the $140 you saved. The Rich Cobb Surrounds will last at least 15 - 20 years. If it's your 1st time doing your speakers take your time. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that show you how to replace surrounds using the various...

Here's the completed woofer.

I used the 30Hz tone CD that was supplied with the surrounds. I use Rich Cobb as my source (looneytunes2001 on ebay) an he supplies the CD with each order. This centers the voice coil so you don't need to remove the dustcap and shim. It was easy and looks like brand new. I also use Aileens Tacky...

I redid the surrounds on my JBL 4408 speakers and they sound great with my Yamaha CR-1000.

Vintage prices have gotten out of hand. Most of the receivers now on Ebay are not personally owned anymore. They're estate sale finds that are posted untested for crazy prices. The prices have doubled or tripled in the last 5 years.

In television studios I've worked in we used Beyerdynamic 108, 190, and 290 headphones for floor communication and DT-770 for Voiceovers. We used AKG-K240S for all other applications. Camera people and others used Plantronic Starsets.

My CKM500 arrived today. I purchased them due to this thread. They're my 1st pair of decent IE headphones as I usually listen to my full-size headphones (AKG-K240S and ATH-PRO700SV). I LIKE THEM.    I'm listening with an old iPhone thru a Fiio E11 amp and it sounds very good. I wish the cord...

NICE!

The Seiko watches mentioned are excellent automatic dive watches. I have the Orange Monster. Some say the "Monsters" (SKX781) are the best value automatic dive watches under $500.

A Rolex Submariner never goes out of style. There are plenty on the used market. A few other choices are an Omega Speedmaster (NASA gave these to Astronauts to wear to the moon), Omega Constellation (Pie Pan is a timeless classic). These are all Stainless Steel watches so they won't break the bank.

Maybe he is on vacation? Maybe he's out of the office? Maybe he hasn't Checked his email yet? Call customer service and see if either he is in or someone can help you.

THAT is what you should spend money on. It probably sound much better and those replaced caps will be good for another 40 years. Good job.

Or replace the fuse holders completely and buy pig tail fuses. Then solder them in if your worried it's going to cause noise. Spend your money replacing capacitors, semiconductors and fuse resistors on vintage gear. They're what goes wrong on vintage equipment.

OK, I looked at isocleans' website and don't know how a 1/2" slow-blow fuse is going to vastly improve audio out of a music source. I also don't want to put a slow-blow in place of a fast-blow fuse. Keep the 24k gold end caps (you don't want to mix metals anyway). A regular fuse costs 25 cents...

Thank you... Thank you very much 

Very nice Marantz.
