A Fish Needs A Stereo: Yes, I'm still here.

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Tuesday, 13 January 2015. Yes, I'm still here. I've been remiss in posting my successes (and failures) on this blog, so I'll try to rectify that soon. I've actually had lots of projects. In fact there have been so many that I have not found the time to talk about them. That's my excuse at least. For the time being, I'll just mention that I have added a new link to the right for the Voice Of Music.

A Fish Needs A Stereo: More turntables than I can shake a stick at

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Tuesday, 14 April 2015. More turntables than I can shake a stick at. Along with the Space Lab stuff, where I might fix several turntables or other pieces of gear in one day, I've had a few around the home front too. This Pioneer PL-A35 for example, went from this:. It will soon be on the market. I also tuned up a Pioneer PL-4 and it works great now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hifishark (aud...

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Thursday, 28 March 2013. Bang and Olufsen. One of those companies you have to love and hate. I have owned one of them (the Beomaster 3000), and have recently been working on and listening to another, the Beogram 4002 turntable. Actually it seems to be a common problem with these. I did not want to spend time on issues like that however until I made sure it worked well. It is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle...

I've had this ADVENT 300 receiver hanging around for quite awhile and it's time to get busy on this project. It's not hard to tell it needs a little work. I'm going to clean extensively and might "reflow" solder joints. Essentially that means melting the existing solder to ensure that the contact is good. I will replace some of...In th...

I am really going to join the ranks of the record geeks now that I have booked myself into a vinyl sale for next month. I am not sure how many records I personally will have for sale, but do expect to have a few boxes put aside by then and should have enough to fill at least half my table. Come up turntable-wise, tuned up and ready to plug'n'play:.

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Wednesday, 15 January 2014. Ol Shakey on the Swirly Table. A photo by Buhduh. I treated myself to one of my current favourite records on my current favourite turntable. Deserved indeed. It's really good. Really really good. And I only discovered it a couple of months ago myself. Go buy it. If you can't get the vinyl, buy the CD or the DVD. Or get them all. I can't stand the mess that DJ tables becom...

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Tuesday, 1 April 2014. Advent 300 Refurbish Part Deux. So I have been away from this a while but the Advent moved into another phase and is now working better and looking way. The face plate was generally pretty good and with all the text on it I am really glad it was as that would be hard to redo. I used a grey hammertone paint which gives that industrial slightly pebbled or textured finish. It...

Today I had a table at the Main Street Vinyl Record Fair. Here in Vancouver. This is the first time I have attended a record swap meet as a vendor though I have been to a bunch as a buyer. This event is a 2 day one this year and continues on Sunday. I won't be there tomorrow.unless I go back to shop! Box Thankfully almost all of that ...

A Fish Needs A Stereo. Vintage and quality audio gear I work on, music I like, and just a bit of hoarding. Tuesday, 16 July 2013. I had another mini success story today. Someone on Audio Karma was asking for tips on how to repair his Advent 400 radio recently and it tweaked me into working on one of my own procrastination projects. Aside: I would like to make "project" and "procrastination" into one word. Projectination? I'm not sure either quite has the ring I want. Links to this post. A Fish Needs A Bl...
