    Pioner sa-9800 fault

    Sounds to me like the one bought from Wales by Sem.....t (wont give the other part of the name away) off ebay!!!! I was watchin' that one but I still think that the price paid (buy it now price) for a faulty amp was sky high!!! If it gets repaired without too much cost though, it will always...

    Pioneer sa-9800 volume knob help !!

    Hi First off, don't use cheap tools then the tip wont break off!!! Second, if the hex is stripped out - you better buy a good quality drill bit (long) and you gotta drill it out without damaging the edge of the orifice on the knob (REAL TRICKY) and hope you don't drill through the spindle of...

    Don't ya just hate...

    Usually caused by improper setting up of the tone arm, anti-skate weight and the weight upon the stylus!!! Take off the the cartridge, and move the large weight at the end of the tone-arm until the arm is balancing on its pivot point. Then set the little numbered dial on the weight to zero...

    Pioneer sa-9800 volume knob help !!

    You should follow Retro Stereo`s advice!! But, even then you may find it wont come off. If that is the case (which is what happened to me with my SPEC 1) then I suggest getting some WD-40 and (very sparingly) applying a little bit on the spindle and allowing it to soak its way down into the...

    SPEC-1 question

    Hi I think that just because you dont use the phono inputs doesnt mean to say you wont use the other inputs!! I wouldn't get rid of the SPEC 1 just because you wouldn't use the phono inputs; you could buy an integrated amp that has phono inputs and only use the tape and aux inputs - would you...

    SA 8800 and a 9800?

    Hi I have an SA 9800 and it sounds great!! I also have a SPEC 1 pre-amp!! I have played a CD through the SA 9800 using it on its own and then I have played the same CD through the SA-9800 with the SPEC-1 acting as the pre-amp rather than the SA-9800`s built-in pre-amp and quite frankly, I...

    Pioneer SX-1250 servicing - what can I do?

    Hi MunkeyQ I`m guessing (rightly or wrongly) that you are from England judging by the currency (£50 budget) statement in your 3rd entry in this topic??? I wish I found SX1250`s in the bin :drool: - if you are from here, you may want to think of yourself as being pretty lucky, considering...

    Direct Drive T/Table - doesnt hold stable speed???

    Hi Does anyone know if a direct drive turntable is non-repairable once it starts to lose the ability to maintain a consistant steady speed?? The said turntable is a Pioneer PL-530. I may have a chance to obtain one with this fault but dont know whether or not to bother due to the nature of...

    Aint never seen one of those before - that looks nice!!! Not a great fan of the tape/cassette format - too problematic (hiss, dropouts, alignments etc) but, do like the look of that CT-M6R.

    Sg-9500 Eq

    I`ve got the SG-9800 - its wicked but, I have to say that I like the 9500 aswell. I think the SG-9800 has the edge for looks though. I also like that extra slide!! Regards LOZ.
