Anyone recapped one of these old Parasound DAC's? If so, please let me know what my best options are.

I sure am enjoying my HD radio USB and Bluetooth features in my home stereo and it was all free! Poor mans way to get USB and BT Kenwood kdc-x700 receiver

Found me a decent looking set of Classic 8 by Jamo, and I am learning it's a speaker company from Denmark? I just got them hooked up to a crappy spare receiver and a crappy laptop so, not the best demo but I wanted to make sure all the drivers play. I got lucky they all work! Apparently they are...

Lets see if I can leave the damn thing alone long enough to enjoy it for a while. I wonder if others out there also struggle to leave it alone and quit swapping components out all the time or if I'm just crazy. It's like, what the hell am I trying to achieve? It sounds great, so put some music...

Bought myself one of these off that auction site based solely on it's aesthetic appeal.. to me anyways. Anyone got experience with the YAC514F dac? I sure hope she sounds good when I get off work.... get off wife time... and finally hook her up in the rack tonight. I still have my trusty Burr...

I have an amplifier/receiver made by SONY and they call the amplifier design a "pure complimentary SEPP amplifier". I am having a hard time finding any info on what that even means for one thing, and the other is; I opened the amp up and did not see any sign of the usual push pull based...

I really want to give this Yamaha integrated amp a chance to see if it can beat the SQ of the vsx-49 I currently have. Hopefully I win this one and don't have to return it. Question is; Does this amplifier use a standard analog potentiometer for the Vol control? I absolutely despise the more...

Hello folks hoping you can help me locate a replacement volume pot for a Sony STR-V333ES receiver that I would love to hear play music again. Alps volume pot with a number of 227-182-11 they seem to be out of stock and or Nla. I am really hoping there is some kind of replacement. thanks for...

Hello folks hoping you can help me locate a replacement volume pot for a Sony STR-V333ES receiver that I would love to hear play music again. This machine uses a part number RV103 Alps pot with a number of 227-182-12 or the 227-182-11 will also work I believe but they seem to be out of stock and...

Well as much as possible.. damn that iPad making it into the picture I forgot to toss that sucker in the corner.. hehe. I'm working on decor for the very recently acquired man cave so it's pretty bare right now. cheers! hk 620 amp onkyo dx-1800 cdp onkyo ta-2044 tape music hall mmf2 tt AR...

I certainly hate lugging my Denon amp around being about 45lbs... I recently moved to a nicer house and now I remember why I tried to replace the old denon with a lighter and smaller HK integrated amp, but I wasn't all that happy with the SQ. The 3 way tower speakers were way easier to carry...

I really hated the sound and basic operation of the internal poor excuse for a tuner inside my Denon Avr3803 Receiver... so I picked up an old kinda heavy solid metal beast of a tuner called a fisher fm-660 and I really mean it when I say I am hearing instruments and detail on the good old fm...

I could not think of a good way to describe this but, do certain cartridge and stylus combinations make a lot of noise when playing? I mean without the amplifier turned on, the needle itself it very noisy. Anything I can do? It's an ATN3600 cart with a random, cheap $8 stylus I found on a website.

I have recently decided to try using my pc as a music player. It's a fairly old beat up Dell Pentium 4 but seems to do the job. The sound card in the machine is the good old Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card of yesteryear sporting the 1/8" mono SPDIF output jack. I proceeded to connect the Left...

Sony cdp-750 for the digital needs Onkyo Integra ta2047 for good old cassette Marantz sr-19 for the amplification end of things Acoustic Research 318 for the main spkrs Sounds great to me! Rock on! :smoke:

I have a stack of components I have been collecting for some time now and do not have enough RCA type cables to connect all of them to my Marantz SR-19 receiver. Question is: can a person use the HeadPhone output from their tape deck/cd player into the aux input of the receiver without hurting...

From spikes and surges and overall bad power in the area? I currently use for lack of a better idea a Monster cable 2 outlet surge protector. I would like the think there are better choices. Do you suppose a UPS is the answer? :scratch2:

my yamaha kxw162 deck seems to make a loud noise coming from the motors on both deck a and b. both transports play fine for the first song or two but then start to chirp really loud. any ideas or are the motors shot? thx

So I thought I might save some money and buy some tapes of artists I don't really care for with the intent to record over them with my trusty yamaha kx-w162 deck. The recordings sound distorted and terrible. The regular blank tapes are great. Any idea what might be happening here? Record level...

Good day all, I have a Pioneer vsx-511s receiver that I got really cheap at the thrift, it was covered in filth and grime from years of misuse. I was able to clean it up nice and have been using it every day for a month, but I noticed the A and B spkr switches are very dirty and can cause...

I aquired a Pioneer pd-4700 for really cheap which is good because I am victim to the lay off's in this country. So, I got her home and she plays great, even burned cd's and such. Problem is; the thing sounds like shit run over twice..:tears: I mean, even the dell laptop I am using sounds...

:D Well, I can't think of a better crowd to share my enthusiasm with so here is what happened... I, for the first time since a small boy had started to lose interest in audio :tears: I really didn't know why maybe my system was lacking to me, or something else. But, alas something happened...

Don't want it, but maybe some AKr does.... Looks sweet and clean but the price sounds high.:scratch2: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=11321966&cat=504&lpid=13&search=

KENWOOD KX-W6040 kicks ass and looks sexy Love this deck, found it for $10, looks like new inside, but both main drive belts are slipping causing both mechanisms to be locked up. If I free the flywheel with my hand it will engage and work, but otherwise just slips because the belts are just a...

Got a pair of 318ps series Acoustic Research speakers that I dearly love, they are my main speakers. I am having a very hard time locating a replacement as the one with the dome smashed in the worst is producing a bit different frequency than the other, making the speakers seem unbalanced on...
