    You nailed it. I will start keeping a look out and get that preamp cleaned up this weekend.

    My simple system

    Great advice from both of ya :) Cleaning the Pre-Amp is a must. I play a mix of good digital (FLAC / Lossless library) and ok digital (Spotify / Youtube / Chromecast Audio) and vinyl. I gave up half of the vinyl in the split and I am working on replacing some key albums. Here is a link to the...

    Kenwood LS-V30 Speakers

    I listen to a variety of things, mostly too loud. Here is my current wishlist for Vinyl, made up of things I want, or things I need to replace after splitting the collection down the middle with my ex. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/25BY5UFWVG00O The speakers I posted from CL...

    My simple system

    No offense taken at all! I don't have skin in the game, I bought these at 19 years old, I am 32 now. I have always been curious at what I have. I may end up disassembling them one of these days. When you mean generic crossovers and drivers, in general am I looking for unbranded / non-specific...

    Kenwood LS-V30 Speakers

    Back in 2004 I bought these: http://i.imgur.com/VSUcIHZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8v17m04.jpg http://i.imgur.com/essdMa3.jpg They are a pair of speakers purchased at the AAFES BX on Kadena AB in Okinawa, Japan. I love them, but in my other post the initial reaction I get is to upgrade them...

    My simple system

    I love that quote, in that it is maybe the thing that makes the most sense regarding why people are saying replace the speakers. Other than the fact that they might be the most bang for buck change, can you tell me why you think that? Is it the era of Kenwood (~2004), or maybe the era of...

    My simple system

    Hey Fitero, I have had the speakers and amp (which used to have my computer / laptop / TV plugged directly in to in my dorm room) since 2004. They have played tunes for thousands of hours. As for budget, that might be a separate post in the dedicated forum. It looks like in general speakers is...

    My simple system

    Hey all, Long time lurker, it has been forever since I posted. This is my system. I like it and have few complaints. However I just left a long and painful relationship and want to reward myself a bit with an upgrade as I was happy just to have been able to keep everything. At the bottom is...

    Yamaha CR-1040 Knobs

    Thanks for the information (and the awesome manual!) I am getting the larger selector knob from a member here, and maybe I will get lucky and find the speaker knob in my things...

    Yamaha CR-1040 Knobs

    Also, I am still new to the forums... Mods and/or regulars, is there a better place this thread could be?

    Yamaha CR-1040 Knobs

    Hey all, I am looking to find some knobs that are missing on my CR-1040. The pics in this post might help for reference: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3726671&postcount=2383 As you can see, I was missing the output selector knob from the beginning, however I have...

    That is a really, really pretty looking stack of equipment. God I would love a full equalizer that matched my CR-1040 like that.

    New Yamaha Owner - Long time lurker

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I got some tools ordered (and more on the way) and I hope to get this thing all fixed up before long. The left channel is having some issues (detailed in my other thread) but judging from the help I have already got, it should be fixable.

    Working on my Yamaha CR-1040

    I am shopping for tools now, and have some good selections I think. In case you were wondering, some Google-fu might have come across an answer to what you are talking about here. It is called Japanese Industrial Standard, and it seems to cause issues whenever a regular Phillips screwdriver is...
