Very nice and sweet sounding vintage speakers IMO. Mates very well with the vintage Sansui G-5000 receiver. Might be too bright for some folks, but I love it this ...
+TheSpeakerseeker I use degreaser (purple stuff) on the knobs and face and they clean out very good. After that if you want to polish it up with aluminum polish it is fine too.
hmm...I own the l730's and a g-5700. Picked up the pieces about 2 years
apart they went in storage so haven't been able to test the two together. I
personally love the wide image of ads speaker's but feel they need the
right receiver/amp for synergy. After listening to your set up, it seems
the g's soundstage doesn't sync well with ads. How ever, with some tweaking
you may be able to get better sound from them or may be that sound just
appeals to you.
Funny thing, the same goodwill I picked the l730's up from had the 1230's about a few month''s before and were asking 100.00 for them. When I took the grill off of one, one of the sticky tweeter's had a dry leaf on it so I passed. When the 730's came in, I tested them and feel they have a very nice wide image. I paid only 25.00 for the set. What I'm saying is the synergy of the g series and your 710's seem as though they are clashing, which makes me wonder if my g and 730's would sound the same. I have however tested the 730's with other receiver's and think they sound great but am thinking the soundstage of the g and the image of the 710's weren't meant concerning synergy.
These ads don't have the soundstage due to the mid and tweeter arrangement.If you ever pick up the 1090, 1290,1230, or 1530 you will be happy with them. I had the 1290 and 1230 and love them very much. When properly set up I can't tell where the music is coming from. they just dissapear. The 1230 which I did a little mod to the crossover was the best. Very wide soundstage. Sound like I had a 5.1 system. Had the singer in front and music coming around me. Unfortunately I had to sell them due to space. But I still have these and the 630.

Playing some tracks through these fine speakers. They have very good imaging and ample bass within their capabilities. Just make sure you match them with ...
I remember in the late 80's helping a friend pick up his dad's Bose home
theater. We were talking to the salesman, and the entire time I couldn't
stop listening to what was going on in the adjacent room. Thats right, I
didn't even have to be in the same room to distinguish that sometime great
was happening. There sat a pair NHT bookshelf speakers placed on stands,
and an entire NAD system driving them. After talking to the salesman for
several hours, and with continued listens I knew that...
much of what I had read by some of the most famous audio reviewers of the
time was a complete joke. That F-ing moment cost me a lot of coin in the
years to come, but I couldn't think of anything in the world that I would
rather spend it on. So the journey continues.
These are nice for the price. BUT they have a large rise at about 1300 hz,
which,, on some recordings, can make it sound s though the sound is
drilling into your head. They are therefore best listened to a little off
axis. Otherwise, they're good.
so are the new Superzero any good ? i heard the old Superzero and Superone
and 1.3 in the 90's...................i can still recall how they sounded.
the main driver should have some kind of coating or mold will appear though
Yeah ive got the same ones as the video. honestly good job just a little
over board covering too much detail's. Can you do a video on where to and
how to upgrade and/or fix the bass driver
A simple AC mains powered LED night light. 3 sets of (4) 10mm LED's in series. This circuit uses a transformerless power supply. Thanks For Watching! ***If you ...
how does a 100 ohm resistor in series with a 2.2 uf cap and a bridge
rectifier step down the 120 Vac to 12.6Vdc without a step down transformer?
Great set up by the way
+electronicsNmore do you have a picture of the schematic drawn that I could view? I followed what you explained in the video and sketched out my own schematic. I just want to make sure I don't miss anything. thanks
No. The resistor needs to be at least 1/2 to 1W. You can fire up the circuit and after a couple minutes unplug the circuit and touch the resistor. Warm/very warm is OK, hot is not good. If it is hot, use a higher wattage resistor. Current does flow through the capacitor. Using a higher uF value allows more current at the output. The Alternating current charges the plates inside the capacitor to positive and negative charges. When you unplug the circuit, that capacitor holds a potentially lethal charge. Placing a 470K across the cap will bleed off the dangerous voltage.
+electronicsNmore was that just a 1/4 watt 100 ohm then? thanks for the response and not to be a dick lol, but current doesn't flow though a cap. If it did the dielectric within the cap would be worn out therefore resulting in a cap that doesn't hold a charge.
When AC current flows through a capacitor, it acts like a resistor to hold back the current without generating heat like a resistor. By reducing current, the voltage drops. The purpose of the 100 ohm resistor is to reduce the inrush current into the circuit/LED. LED's are very sensitive to inrush current. Without the resistor, the LED would not last long.Thanks For watching!I have lots of very good videos. Be sure to look through my video list, and tell others.
