Sony CDP-X7esd CD Player Remote
Thanks for the valuable info, I will not sweat it anymore but will look for any remote for a single player. Don't need to access any special features - just want it to play, stop, pause etc. Thanks again. 
Preamp recommendation for Bryston 4B-NRB
Emotiva looks very nice and price is appropriate for my budget but does not have the basic controls I want to have in a preamp - bass / treble / balance. Would also like a contour / bass EQ option. I know these are features normally excluded from ... 
ESS AMT 1D: sell for parts or attempt to restore?
Thanks for all the advise. I will be ordering a surround kit that is specifically designed for the ESS AMT woofer with the flat edges. Will fix up and see what I think of them. As I own way too many speakers (like many of you I am sure) I will lik... 
ESS AMT 1D: sell for parts or attempt to restore?
I have located a surround repair kit for about $25 that is designed for these woofers so I will attempt. The woofers have a plastic like feel and a flat edge so this particular kit was designed for this somewhat unusual configuration. Will do the ... 
Stylus replacement for Shure V-15 v MR
Thanks for the info. Certainly sounds like there is an agreement that the Jico is a reasonable alternative. Has anyone had experience with the new Saunders stylus to compare with the Jico? If not, I may invest in one Jico and one Saunders as I hav... 
Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations
That is a great idea - anybody out there with a pair of stands for this speaker that would like to part with them? The stands are still currently available from Magnepan for $82 plus $20 shipping but if I could find a pair for a price that would s... 
Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations
Thanks for all the advise. I will order the factory stands for the 1.4 and attempt to manufacture stands similar to the Mye stands (based on my observation) I should say I will have my brother manufacture these as he has a complete metal fabricati... 
Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations
I talked to the people at Magnepan today - very helpful. I also checked the website for Mye stands and sounds like owners are very happy with them. As I need to determine if I am a big fan of the Magnepans before I spend the money on these I will ... 
Spica TC-50 crossover repair
I greatly appreciate all the good advise here. I recently received an email from someone who had an extra crossover they were parting out (from TC-50) and they volunteered to send the inductor coils that they did not require for their project. I w... 
Allison One speakers
They sure won't end up in my garage - will go to the effort (and expense) of new surrounds and see (hear) how I like them compared to my pair of Alon V. I have had other vintage speakers that appealed to me in the past that, while I would not nece... 
Allison One speakers
Thanks for the advise on re-conditioning. I plan to have the woofers redone by Bill LeGal at Millersound. He is familiar with these and I have had nothing but good results with all the work he has done for me in the past. Also appreciate the advis... 
Allison One speakers
Thanks all for your help. I'm afraid I may have overpaid for them, but after I get the woofers redone at Miller Sound, who knows - I may really like them and decide to keep versus resell - they do look very nice. Thanks again. 
ACI Titan subwoofer hookup options
I could use a RCA Y adapter but was wanting to find an option for using the sub with an integrated amplifier and as such need the speaker level adapters or the ability to manufacture some. Let me know if you find anything out as to the resistance.... 
Information about Martin Logan Sequel II
Thanks all for the info! Makes sense now about the ES speakers requiring the power. I just saw plugs and assumed active subwoofer! Anyway, I have a call into Jim at ML as recommended to get an idea of cost for fixing - but I fear the worst (paned ...

Try Bdgregory method. Just performed it myself and it worked perfect. Just be patient and it will pop out and look perfect! Thanks for the great idea Bdgregory. J.
