    Turntable repair

    Can anybody recommend a good turntable or general electronic repair shop in the New Jersey/Philadelphia area? My table is acting up a bit and from what I understand, it may be just some gunk that needs clean up. Unfortunately, I’m ham fisted and I don’t want to mess it up. TIA.

    Turntable Repair Shops in New Jersey

    Can anybody suggest a good turntable repair shop in New Jersey? My usual go to shop, Audiotronics in Cherry Hill is swamped and wouldn’t have the time to work on the tonearm of my Sony PS-X65. The tonearm does not always go to the start of the record when I press start although queuing the arm...

    Can I post this?

    Denon DL-103R + Schiit Mani

    Borrowed a Schiit Mani to use with my Denon DL-103R. I plugged the Mani into the phono input of my PAS-3 and was really disappointed. Tried it on my Kenwood Model 500 and had the same experience. The sound was muddy, the bass too boomy and the highs were hardly there. Tried changing the settings...

    No takers

    Sad to see these go to the dump but I'm decluttering the garage and they had to go. Normally I wouldn't see anything I put out at night in the morning after but these stayed out there until the garbage truck picked them up. Sad to see them go as KLH 6s were cosmetically still really good and...

    Grills on or off

    Just wondering. It has been noted countless times by various music lovers that speakers should be listened to with grills off. How many of you actually notice a difference though, when you play your music with or without them?

    MC Phono preamp/SUT

    I am currently playing my records on my Sony PS-X65 with a Denon DL-103R hooked up to my Luxman M-120/C-120, primarily because my Dynaco ST-70/PAS-3 does not have an MC input. I like the warm sound of the Dynaco; however, am using the Luxman at the moment and I put my Audio Technica AT-15S...

    Dynaco PAS-3 Blend Control

    Ok, I know this makes me sound clueless, but can anyone tell me what the symbols on the left (stereo) side of the blend switch means? The Operating Manual really isn't of much help.

    This probably should be posted in the Mac forum but I figured I might get more traffic here so if this is the wrong place plesse do move it. I may be in a position to get a C26 preamp in good condition for a reasonable price. How is it in terms of performance? Any thing I need to consider...

    Essentials for your listening pleasure

    What do you consider essential to have in your setup for your listening experience? Aside from the usual suspects, what do you think really helps bring out the best in a system? DACs? Phono preamps? MC carts? Room treatment?

    New to me Dynaco ST-70

    I took possession of my friend's Dynaco set up: ST-70, PAS3, and FM-3. Would just like to ask some advise on setting this up. Should I keep the cage on or off? How far should the amp from my turntable so I don't have to worry about the veneer warping from the heat? Does it matter if the amp is...

    It's the journey. Not just the destination. My system as it changed through the years.

    For all the postings I've done here, I've never created a thread that charted my audio journey (thank God, right?). Here's my attempt at chronicling the changes I've made to my system, and what have stayed and fallen by the wayside in the four years since I started pursuing this hobby with a...

    What to upgrade

    Say you've already got decent components. You want to upgrade but your budget is limited. What wil give you a better return on your investment: an amp or a source component, like a turntable, CD player or even a DAC?

    Luxman upgraditis

    Having tasted the goods... I just recently completed my Luxman stack. C, M, G-120s and T-115. Loving it but also got myself a case of Luxman upgraditis. Would it be worth parting with them to get an M-02/C-02 combo? I am fine with not having a tuner and an equalizer but wondering if higher end...

    Yamaha NS-690 cabinets

    Has anyone refinished their NS-690 cabs? I recently had mine refinished but the results were not to my liking so I'm thinking of doing it myself. What kind of stain did you use to match the original color? Any pointers or a link to instructions on how to do it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Sony Tonearm Issue

    My Sony PS-X65 is acting up a bit lately. The tonearm would not pick up at the end of record if I use the Start button but would return to the armrest if I use the tonearm up/down to play a record. The arm would also return if I press the Stop button. Has anybody else had this problem? Is this...
