    Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

    Browsing through a couple flea markets this past weekend seemed to pay off. At one I came across an Epiphone Special II LE needing a cleaning and strings with a decent gig bag for 20, and a Line 6 Spider IV 30 for 30. At the other there was a clean out guy getting rid of his stock, cheap. I...

    Technics SL-D202 Auto Return issue

    I purchased an SL-D202 a few years back that looked pristine but had a few issues: the platter would spin whenever it was powered on, and the auto return did not work. Also, speed would fluctuate, but that was due to the pitch control needing a good cleaning. So I opened it up, cleaned all...

    Installing tascam us125 on imac running Yosemite

    I just picked up my first apple product, a 2012 imac 27" 3.4 ghz 16gb ram with 250gb ssd system drive and a 1tb storage hdd. I was trying to connect my tascam us125 usb audio interface. It shows in the devices as a usb audio hub but no sound is passing through. As a total mac noob what am I...

    2011 imac 27" what's it worth?

    So i took the plunge and am replying on the "new" Mac right now. Overall very pleased, but after 25 years of DOS and 'Dows there is a bit of a learning curve. Mostly in the file structure. And installing devices. Otherwise I believe this will work out very well.

    2011 imac 27" what's it worth?

    Thanks. I was seeing 2.7 i5 online for more so I figured this was a no lose deal. When I found out logic and pro tools and ableton live came with licenses it sealed the deal for me. Just need an ilok now.

    2011 imac 27" what's it worth?

    I have the opportunity to purchase a 2011 imac 27 3.4ghz I7 with 16 gb ram, 250gb ssd and 1tb hdd. It comes loaded with full license versions of logic pro x, pro tools 10 and 11. I am not a mac guy, but this seems too good to pass. It is local, so no shipping and it is from a home music studio...

    Denon AVR-1909 sub out help needed

    First thing I did was reset the unit. Then I went into the menu and turned thr sw on and set it to lfe+main. I have read that with the polk psw on some receivers you need to use bare wire because it doesnt read the line level very well. It worked fine using tape out on all my receivers including...

    Technics SL-D202 Auto-return mechanism malfunction! Help!

    I don't like rehashing dead threads but I have the same problem. I did the same thing the OP did, cleaned with den alcohol and a small brush and rag, then let it sit overnight. In the morning I greased all the moving parts with white lithium. First time it worked. Then I used the stop button and...

    Weekly Estate and Garage sale finds (pics)

    The FCC closed out the 700 mhz range several years ago. A lot of us had to ditch some not so old gear. Luckily the more reputable companies like Shure and Sennheiser offered fair trade in value on the gear.

    Pro pio cdj's. Good for home use?

    As I prepare to purge some of my unused dj equipment, I wanted to get some opinions on whether I should keep 1 or 2. Currently my main system is using a Pioneer PDR -555RW and my living room system has a sony cdp-c601es. Each one serves a purpose besides cds. The pio is a recorder for vinyl...

    Cheap poly fill

    In the dj world, one of the cheap easy mods we use is to stuff the cabs with poly fill from a cheap pillow. Anyone ever try this with home speakers? It does work, basically keeping the bass from 'leaking' out of the back and tightening the lower frequencies.

    SL-D20 auto return not working

    I have a workhorse d20 which has been a road warrior for quite some time. Lately the auto return feature no longer works. I've cleaned the old grease and relubed with white lithium. The stop button works fine so the mechanics are working. I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Here's my sa-5150. Almost virgin, she didn't get much use. I preferred the features (more tape/aux, preout for a jvc seas eq) and power of my kr77 and tx-4500. But its a beautiful unit in almost new condition so I am hesitant to part with it. I included some nudes cuz I know you delinquents like...
