    New JVC member to the family

    JVC R-S33. I always liked the look of these back in the day I remember the sound as pretty good in stores. Well I just scored one for fairly cheap on Ebay. It's a nice clean unit. Pots needs some deoxit and hopefully it will smooth out the semi stiff volume slider and slightly crunchy Eq.. And I...

    I saw this baby go up on E-pay last week and really debated like I need to charge something else! And I had a feeling someone would try to snipe at last minute, man was I right. I got my bid in with just 1 second to spare and beat him by .49! It was about $20 more than I wanted to spend but...

    Worlds Most Overpriced TT!

    Ok Ya'll, have to check this one out. Here At over 5k now! We had two of these at the radio station in 80's and each one went down. From what I have read they seem to have problems with external PS. Perhaps a VR? And everyone thought that Pioneer that went for over $1500 was a lot!

    Ok this one is for those of you who still listen to music on FM with some regularity, and have pretty good ears and a decent system. Most of the major radio group owners are on computer systems which rips all the music into mp2. Our system uses a 256 rate which should be good. however I hear...
