    What's My SX-990 Doing?

    I hadn't listened through my SX-990 for a while, but with my newly restored AR-5s getting attention I decided to fire it up. I noticed that if the bass control is turned past 2 o' clock or so the left channel woofer starts to go: WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP pause WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP pause etc. Not...

    Song Title Synonym Game

    I've been playing this game in my head for years. Pretty simple, just take a song title and translate it into synonyms. Next poster tries to guess the original title, and then posts their own. For example: "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" becomes - "(I Don't Receive Any) Contentment" Let's go...

    Stumped: SX-990 Transistor Replacement

    Odd Goodwill Function Generator Find

    Made a buzz through my nearest GW today and saw a BK Precision 3011B Function Generator on a rack. My curiosity got the better of me and I took a look. Came with a brown cloth carry bag in which were the test probes, with some odd moddifications: Two metal plates were wired to them. Curiosity...

    Score: Onkyo Integra CP-1057F

    This table turned up at GW the other day and I was definitely interested, but low on funds. Checked back a couple of times and it was still there. Swung by again this morning and pulled the trigger. Not sure what cart is on it, but stylus is broken off. Needs a bit of dusting, but all...

    "The Renaissance" Speakers?

    Yesterday I caught an ad on my local CL for some speakers. Realistic Optimus-2B, which I picked up for $30, plus some BIC Venturi bookshelfs and a mystery to me pair with nothing on them but labels on the back top left corners that said "The Renaissance" in black on a gold background. Wood cabs...

    SX-990 Thump/Bump In Left Channel?

    I've had this reciever for a couple of months or so now and just noticed a occasional thump/bump coming through the left channel. It is only audible with the volume at 0, and occurs with any source. It is also audible if the balance control is turned to the right. Any thoughts as to what I...

    Done Me Some Tradin' - Pioneer PL-112D

    Took my Sanyo Ultrx cassette deck, a early 90s Walkman and few dozen tapes which were all just taking up space down to Valley Vinyls(sic), my local record shop. Traded them for store credit, which I used to pick up a Pioneer PL-112D and some LPs. Picked the PL-112D because I already had a new...

    Contentment: My Pioneer Stack

    Got a PL-A45D for $10 off of Craigslist a couple of years ago and was looking for a good receiver to pair it up with. Scored a SX-990 for $40, another CL deal. Table needed minor cleaning, new belt, stylus and a resolder on the left channel cable. Reciever was dirtier, but not unmanagable...

    Howdy!

    Been a record collector most of my life. Still have some I got before I even started grade school. Got out of the scene and sold most of my vinyl when I moved from Austin to the Rio Grande valley of Texas back in 2005. Got back in recently only to find my old Kenwood KD-3100 acting up. Got lucky...
