    Dyna Stereo 70 blew a fuse...

    The amp is in great shape, restored, new caps everywhere, great tech guy, good vintage tubes. I think I really turned it on too soon after I shut it off... just wondering what fuses to buy; I know 3 amp slow blow but who sells them, brand, etc. Maybe any works? Thanks!

    Dynaco A-25 recap question

    Thanks everyone; I was thinking that swapping caps was easy, and if it made a difference it would be worth it. There are Dayton's in there already and the consensus seems to be to keep 'em.

    Dynaco A-25 recap question

    Hi, is it worthwhile to put some Mundorf Supreme caps, totaling 5mf, in my A-25's instead of the same value Parts Express caps, or is it not worth it? Jon

    Another AR-XA question...

    Hi, I am trying to correctly adjust the 3-spring suspension on an AR-XA that I picked up. As is, it is really 'bouncy' and I'd like to know to what degree the 3 suspension springs should be tightened... i.e. what is the 'factory' setting. Thanks!

    AR-XA resto question...

    Hi all, I just got a fixer-upper AR-XA. I want to paint the plinth, but it looks as though the tonearm will not come off without removing the (very, very) small wires (de-soldering / re-soldering) from the cartridge thru the arm and then under the plinth. Good lord, I don't wanta do that...

    Old dog, new tricks?

    Hi all, thought I'd dip into the collective AK knowledge for some help. I'm looking to get into modern sources for my music. All I use now is a CD player, table and FM tuner. I want to access all the wonderful flac files, spotify, etc etc that my friends endlessly speak of... along with the 4...

    I'm probably going into semi-retirement. I have a 1978 Guzzi Lemans I can do some blasts on. I think the FJ-09 is a pretty spectacular bike, but flawed as a sport tourer. The Guzzi, of course, is a completely different beast but a hoot to keep in 3rd gear and roll on and off the throttle...

    Hey, my 2016 FJ-09 is still in one piece after hitting a deer at 60. Or rather the deer ran into me. (Bike) needs some new bodywork, there's deer fur in the front wheel and brakes. I, on the other hand, have some issues! Unfortunately, the excellent ABS and traction control didn't even come...

    Pioneer PL-41 question...

    Hi all, is there an option for the stock RCA input /cable on the PL-41 that I can buy? Aftermarket or swiped from another Pioneer? Mine is kind of gnarly and the original is hard to come by (although occasionally on the Auction Site...). Many thanks, Jon

    pioneer DVD v7400 help needed...

    It was already set up for CD playing when I got it, I just use the stereo audio out... i think it sounds good as is, hoping for an improvement with a DAC but maybe not.

    Hi, is this just an rca male to rca male? I'm pretty tech-illiterate (ahem, a luddite who prefers my Dynaco and Eico stuff) so my apologies...

    Thanks for the response. That's what I see also, yet people rave about the Pioneer connected to a DAC :dunno:

    pioneer DVD v7400 help needed...

    Hi to all; I've been listening to a Pioneer DVD-v7400 as a CD player. I'm simply using the audio out to my preamp as you would any CD player, and it sounds great. These have to be set up for either CD or DVD playing and mine was set up for CD. However, I'd like to try it as a transport with a...

    tube amp/subwoofer question...

    Hi, I've wondered if a powered sub would help my el-84 amp by doing the heavy lifting (if you will) of the woofers which would allow the amp to put more of it's power to the midrange/tweeter... thoughts? This has bugged me for a while, it seems to make sense, but...?
