[Phono-L] Playing idevices through antique horns
Someone was asking about this in the past few weeks, and I just stumbled on this. http://www.etsy.com/listing/9140/acoustic-ipad-iphone-speaker-dock?ref=v 1_other_1 And check out the other versions that are for sale using repro horns. Maybe it's an idea starter?? ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

Only $ 442.00! Wow! Or you can make a simple iphone adapter and use it on your own phonographs (with or without a horn) for less than a $1.00. I use mine all the time. Simple and works great.

Hi Jeff,Watched your video and had my iPhone-ograph up and running in a few minutes. The only change that I made was to use a large binder clip from Staples, instead of making a metal frame.Curt Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:44:20 -0800 From: njce...@sbcglobal.net To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Playing idevices through antique horns Only $ 442.00!

I prefer the bluetooth Jawbone Jambox... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/768326-REG/JAWBONE_JBE03_BLACKDIAMOND_JAMBOX_Black_Diamond.html but... this is a phonograph site, so everything has to be acoustic and wind-up to be considered as on topic.

Re: [Phono-L] Playing idevices through antique horns
Folks, I am knee deep in preparing the April / May In The Groove, so I shouldn't even be taking the time to add to this discussion, but you have touch upon one of my favorite topics. I have several hundred man hours of experimenting with adapting antique horns to modern drivers, etc. One of my favorite experiments was building an 8 watt tube amplifier using my iPod as the audio source and adapting it to play through the horseshoe magnet driven Orthophonic diaphragm of the Victor Victrola VV-7-3 driver. This is the combination Radio (RCA Radiola model 20) / Victor Orthophonic acoustic wind-up record player manufactured in 1926. It uses a piston to transition between the acoustic Orthophonic sound box and the horseshoe magnet driven Orthophonic diaphragm radio driver. I believe the length of the driver expansion tube and the folded horn is in excess of 5 feet. The sound quality is amazing. For a REAL thrill, adapt an couple RCA UZ1325 radio speaker horns to modern compression horn drivers, like Selenium 1 Titanium diaphragm drivers, add a mid-bass for frequencies below 1,000 Hz and sit back for an amazing sound experience. Once I find a replacement for me as Editor of In The Groove, I will resume my experiments in the modern adaptation of antique sound. Keep this topic going. I love it!
