    Vintage Sony AM Radio Problem

    AM section on the Sony STR-6045 I just got is dead. Amber AM light lights up but no static, no audio. FM Mono and stereo are fine. How do I connect an AM loop and bypass the ferrite rod to see if it is the built in antenna causing the problem?

    Bought a Sony STR-6045 Today

    I got antsy waiting for the right 6065 or V4 to come along. I hope sonically it sounds as good as those. My La Scalas are very efficient so I hope I didn't make a mistake? https://www.ebay.com/itm/133694084127 thx bob

    Sony V Series vs 6xxx and 7xxx Series?

    I have been mainly looking for a nice 6065 or 7065 from positive info here on AK. What about the "V" series? Did they come later and are more modern (ic's, etc)? How is the sound signature compared to the 6 and 7 series? I found a nice V4 for $35o shipped? thx bob

    Pioneer Receiver For Klipsch La Scalas?

    I know this is subjective but I got the bug to get a 70's Pio to go with my speakers. Prefer a warmer sound but clean. Budget around $500. I'm confused on all the Pio model designations. Looked at an SX-780, 737, 828. Love the idea of the watt meters but not at the expense of better AQ? thx, bob

    MX-119 to MX-150?

    Hi Guys I might have a chance to pick up a MX-150 to replace my MX-119. I'd really like HDMI and my room could use some *good* correction. I have been through a Denon 7200WA and an Anthem 720 but they lack the warm sound I am used to. What is involved in upgrading to a MX-151 and any overall...
