I had a large (>100 C-60s) tape duplication job to complete, so I decided to align my master deck to the duplication.ca alignment tape to achieve a good treble response, to send the master tape out for duplicating. Output attached to scope, I turn the head screws until I get the most output I...

Hello my friends of AK! So due to being "temporarily laid off" as to current world events, I have decided to work on some projects of mine. This includes a pair of Sansui SS-2 headphones from the early 1970s, that i managed to score at a thrift store a while back. The problem: -Often times...

For the past week I've been restoring this very beautiful Yamaha CA-600. Cleaned pots, replaced some caps that have drifted off in value, centered bias... etc. etc. It sounds very nice now. Now, I really need some help with these 3 switches. I know where the contacts are, but it's impossible to...

Yes, there are different classes of quality when it comes to cassette decks. One one side we have the high end, with 3 heads, the best version of Dolby at the time, tons of options and controls. Then on the other side, we have the plastic "junkers" This is pretty obvious hahaha. But my point is...

Got these headphones today for $1 at a flee market. I cleaned off all the rotten foam, however I find that they just don't sound right. On this thread, it seems other people praise these headphones due to thier sound quality...

I'm new to AK! :) So I've been collecting some vintage sansui equipment for a while now, and usually I end up buying low end Sansuis for quite cheap at local thrift stores and garage sales. Now this isn't their utter plastic 90s garbage, but I tend to find amps and receivers from the late 60s...

Im new here, if this is in the wrong category, whoops! :D Anyway, a neighbour gave me a very nice pair of Yamaha NS-410s from around 1973. Best sounding speakers I have heard in my life. Not much bass, (85hz drop off) but the thing that makes them stand out is the nice flat response from around...
