    Removing an AM antenna grommet

    Hi Everyone, Can someone guide me in removing, what I would refer to as, an AM antenna grommet? I imagine that it is a two-piece system, but rather than risk damaging it I figured I would ask. Help Please. By the way, this is from a Yamaha receiver. Thanks

    SX-1980 with loose wire

    Hi All, I was re-finishing the wood housing on my SX-1980 today, and while I was waiting for the finish to dry, I decided to remove the bottom cover to take a look inside. I noticed that there was a loose orange wire just hanging inside not connected or soldered to anything. Other than the...

    Accuphase: Why so unpopular in the US?

    Accuphase, for whatever reason, does not seem very popular in the US. I suspect that it has a lot to do with pricing in the US vs other countries around the world, and pricing vs other brands. Not very many units in the secondary market, and seemingly not a lot of reviews ( from both Users...

    Accuphase Amplifiers - 'A' vs 'P' Amps

    Hello All, I've been in the market for an Accuphase amp for some time now. For 2-channel, they carry their A-XX class A amps, and they also have the P-XXXX line, which I assume are class AB design. Has anyone had a chance to hear both designs? If so, please share your impressions. Thanks Adam

    HiFi Museum

    Hi, I was searching the web for innards of a particular pre-amp, and came across this website. Their tagline is: 'Hundreds of hifi, audio and video Brands. You pay a lot for quality, or the hi-end it is only marketing?' I didn't see any 'information', but just photos of various brands...

    Anyone here buy the BA, CA, TU trio?

    It was very tempting, but I would've had to offload a bunch of gear to make room. Not a bargain, but nice acquisition!

    Forte I

    Hi All, Several weeks ago, I had an opportunity to listen to a pair Forte 1s while auditioning an Amp. Seller was interested in selling the Amp, but I became more interested in the Forte. So I now have an opportunity to buy a pair through another listing, and had some questions for you...

    Help with diagnostics...

    Hi All, I have two Sony cassette decks. One is a TC-K850ES, and the other an 950ES. Both units have issues recording, and calibrating. During calibration, the unit supposedly sends out a frequency tone (160/210 kHz?), and allows the user to calibrate the bias and rec level to compensate...

    Techs in Massachusetts

    Hi All, Recently, I got my hands on a Technics SU-8600 amp. The unit has some issues, and needs work (the left channel is both loud and muffled). I am considering sinking some funds into it as it is a real beauty. Anyone from Mass know of a good tech? Thanks Adam

    Expanding Your Horizon

    Got a question for you AK Music Lovers (I know. Its redundant). My music buying was at its height in my junior/senior year high school and all throughout college. However, as time went on, I found less and less time to sort of research and find different and/or upcoming music artists. In...
