Hi All. I came across an incredible deal on CL for a Musical Fidelity A3 integrated dual mono amplifier, A3 tuner, A3 CD player, and set of B&W 603 series 2 speakers, for so little that I’m embarrassed to even say how much I paid. Needless to say, I’m on a budget and was thrilled with the...

Hi all. I picked up a Musical Fidelity A3 Dual Mono Integrated Amplifier, along with the matching A3 Tuner, A3 CD Player, and a set of B&W DM 603 S2's on CL the a week ago for $300. All lightly used, from the original owner with all the remotes and accessories. Based upon local pricing, I...

Hi all. After moving my go-to Dual 1246 to test a vintage Pioneer for my daughter, the Dual has developed a "pop" when the tonearm raises at the start and end of an LP. I am always gentle with the table, but figured muting switch contacts were somehow forced out of adjustment. I took it apart...

Hi all. I just picked up a Pioneer PL-A45D Turntable in great cosmetic condition with an ADC XLM Improved MK II cart from CL for $60. The seller was asking $140 but I pointed out a few issues, was going to pass, and the price dropped significantly, so I decided to risk it. I have experience with...

Hi all. I need some advice, and hope this thread is in the correct forum. I'm on a budget and tend toward vintage because that's what I can find in local thrifts and afford on Craigslist. I have been looking to upgrade my CD player, as currently 85% of my music is on this medium. At present I'm...

Hi all. I'm new to vinyl and most of my collection to date is made up of thrift and second hand record store purchases. I have been replacing the old paper inner sleeves with new, but am not sure if I should keep the old ones or toss. The plain unprinted ones are a no brainer, but what about the...

I replaced a missing steurenpimple yesterday with a temporary made from coax cable until I can get a new one. The tone arm now queues, but on start up, the stylus lands about a mm too far toward the spindle, so the lp is already playing. I read the service manual and tried to make the fine...

Hi All. Just a quick hello and introduction. I'm Nathan and am from Monterey, Ca. I'm relatively new to audio and know very little at this point, but am enjoying the process of learning. I have a budget system that I have pieced together from Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Craigslist so far. My...

I'm new to this site and to vinyl, and looking for some help/advice. I'm on a budget and have been looking at turntables for a while, particularly the UTurn Orbit. I found a 2016 Orbit Custom in new condition with the Ortofon cartridge on CL for $50. The seller also had a Dual 1246 that looked...
