    My Pioneer RT 1020H doesn't want to play

    My Pioneer RT 1020H has worked perfectly since the day it was born. Now the transport doesn't want to go into “play”. The rewind and fast forward work, the capstan is turning and I hear the relay click when I push the play button, but the pinch roller doesn't engage and the take up doesn't turn...

    LED panel lamps for C 32 ?

    I have done a little looking around. I'm taking the easy way out by asking here. Are there any led lamp kits for a C 32?

    Would anyone like to share the artwork they have in their listening room?

    Four acrylics on canvas by El Gato Gomez. Her work seems made for my 1957 house. I would turn the listening room into a gallery if i could afford more. Too much of a good thing is never enough.

    Newbie impedance question

    "Is it better to have two pairs of 4 ohm speakers, 8 ohm speakers, or 6 ohm speakers or does it not matter?" Simply put ...With two pairs of 4 ohm speakers your amp will see 2 ohms, and that's too low. Speaker impedance ratings are "nominal" which means the impedance varies a bit with the...

    Old equipment you wish you still had

    I wish I still had my Thorens td 111 that I bought for $19.95, brand new, at a close out sale in 1967. I remember that the base was an extra $9.95. I was a poor college student and had to wait to use it until I saved up for a Shure M232 tone arm with an ACD 3 cartridge. I thought It was hot...

    I anyone listening to Tangent T 5000's

    I bought mine from someone who had been in the military too. When I pulled the crossovers out and saw that they have a 68uf and three 1.5's. I went the cheap route and ordered the caps online and replaced them. It's hard to described the change They sounded pretty good before but with the new...

    I anyone listening to Tangent T 5000's

    Does anyone here have Tangent T 5000's ? I do not remember seeing any posts regarding them. I was lucky enough to talk to Bob Crites and he told me that they were a version of the Tangent 500's that were mainly sold overseas, through military stores. I have used these in my main system for 3...

    What McIntosh Gear Are You Using?

    That pic was taken after I moved it from another location. The knobs were turned in the move. They are usually set "flat".

    What McIntosh Gear Are You Using?

    My only piece of Mac gear is my C32 preamp. I know I'm defying the conventional wisdom (if you mix SS/Tube, it should be a tube pre and a ss power amp) but I love the music that comes out of this setup.

    Stylus Disaster

    Thank you all for your suggestions... ...they all have merit. Lots of options to consider. I think I'll buy an Ortofon red for now, just to see me through (can't go much longer with no vinyl) then talk to Soundsmith and go from there.

    Stylus Disaster

    Yep, but it was the the ruby cantilever, nude contact line diamond ($350) and since it it's gone completely, there might be additional fees. I've been spoiled by the sound but hey, I'm 67 now. I might not hear the difference LOL

    Stylus Disaster

    My trusty Last stylus brush. I've been cleaning my diamonds since 1966 and this is the first time this has happened. Maybe I've lost my gentle touch. C'est la vie.

    Stylus Disaster

    Only the people on this forum can feel my pain. I was carefully (I thought) cleaning the Soundsmith retipped stylus on my Denon 103r today and I managed to clean the stylus and cantilever right out of it's mounting. I'm retired now and on a limited budget so a new retip is out of the...
