This is the manual that all new AoS moderators should read!

Description



The first work to propose a comprehensive musicological framework to study sound-based music, .

So there is now music that is not based on sound? Had to happen eventually...

He's producing quite a comprehensive range of plinths that look to be pretty good quality.

Tempted to get one of the 301 plinths.

Also selling "fake" Spendor BC1 and Rogers LS3/5a labels, and from Moldova... I'm not sure I would buy from him personally but feedback looks good.

Yes, I saw the labels but remembered when I was restoring my JBL 4333's. The foilcals that cover the L-Pads were missing so I had to resort to fake aftermarket copies. JBL did not respond to any emails and were obviously unwilling to supply.
Many professional studio speakers had a hard life and it's common to find decals missing or damaged. I doubt that Spendor would supply them as they are no longer willing to even service the drivers for SP1's. I don't know about Rogers but I would guess the same applies.

I think the clone LS3/5 cabinets are fine but, selling them with Rogers decals on the back may be sailing a little too close to the wind.

Whilst I would agree that we should be wary of scammers and rogues, the fact is they are in in every country, the sellers and feedback should be sufficient to determine whether to buy from them or not.

Also, I happen to have a couple of colleagues from Moldova who happen to some of the most pleasant, honest people you could hope to meet and I found the comment "and from Moldova" a little presumptuous and, although I don't think it was intended, it does come across as a little Xenophobic.

Im suprised no ones astute enough as to converting a Goldring/lenco into a record cleaning machine... It's what im doing with mine..

Nice move, dude. Trust me, once you're used to listening to pristine clean records, there's no going back!

I just meant the fact that the seller is abroad and therefore more chance of problems, that was all - would apply just the same wherever if not in the uk as I personally am much more wary but others may not be so concerned.

Thinking about this, it could be a very good inexpensive project if you are prepared to forego the KEF original drivers which are pretty much unobtainium now anyway. Who made clone drivers with the same hole mountings? Was it SEAS? Crossovers from Wilmslow could complete the project. Hmm, might be nice as near-field monitors for my PC.

Anyone wanting to make a modern version of the LS3/5A should look at the Stirling Broadcast kits. I bet carcasses are available on their own if necessary and the whole thing is around £500 in kit form I believe. An old friend and colleague from the mid 70's is going to have a go at making some, since he has fond memories of his original Audiomaster ones from this period.
