Oh, totally. It’s 100% nerd shit.DaddyDom wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 2:46 pmNone, but I think - from what I've read - that NP is a stand-up guy so his generously-shared designs are probably designed with built-in love.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 5:54 pmLong shot, but does anyone have any opinions/firsthand experience with the Nelson Pass Amp Camp designs? There are two for sale locally.
I was able to hear a First Watt build at a DIY meet a few years ago and thought it was pretty sweet.
So, if strangers have assembled these, you'd obviously have to be confident they are to the correct design-specs and safe, above all.
Let us know!
I refoamed both 10” and both 18” in my 4345s. Can offer tips and advice if you need it, when you need it—just tag me wherever you’re posting about it!sessylU wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 2:38 amI have a decent set up that sounds great to my ears, and crucially, is probably better than my living room and ears can make use of.
Dual CS 505-1 with a NAD 92 cartridge,* a NAD 3130,** and a pair of Mordaunt Short Pageant II speakers. I recently got a pair of Leak Sandwiches which are okay on their own, but sound brilliant with the MSs. The fill out the bass in a nice, bloomy way. I think the Leaks are getting better, I rotated the woofers and I think they're benefiting from regular exercise.
* - Made by ADC for NAD. It's basically a XLM mkiii from what I can tell
** - Basically a 3020, but beefed up and with more features that never get used.
In other hifi news, I'm trying to put together a setup for a colleague. She recently tried to give away all her old vinyl as she no longer has a system. I have my old Rotel amp and my first ever turntable gathering dust. So I found a pair of Wharfedale Melton speakers on Gumtree and bought those untested, but the foam is hardened and cracked, so they're dud. I'm going to have a go at refoaming them and see if I can get her sorted out.
Thanks for that. The tricky bit right now is getting surrounds that are the exact right size. There was an ebay seller selling from China who had a selection of different sizes, but was sold out of the ones I need. This was the only place I could find them. I'll check again in a week or two, and hopefully they'll be available.øøøøøøø wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 9:59 amI refoamed both 10” and both 18” in my 4345s.

Switch the RCA connectors around and see if the problem moves to the other channel.GreenKnee wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:52 amA quick question for people more knowledgeable than I:
I've had my Rega RP1 for a long time (10 years?) and I've noticed recently that there is a slight crackle/pop just on the right speaker regardless of what record I'm listening to. Is this a sign the stylus/cartridge needs replacing?
Thanks for any help
First thing that springs to mind is the swapping sides, but it might well be a dirty volume control on your amp.GreenKnee wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:52 amA quick question for people more knowledgeable than I:

Nice to see you've been into the slow(dive) jams there.
thanks! I've been a fan for nearly 30 years!
