    SX-828 Rebuild

    I have bought a complete rebuild kit from the big auction site. I have also got the LED light kit from the same seller. I have just gotten started and want to make sure I do this right. The most I have done before is simple repairs and clean switches and POTs with Deoxit, so this is going to be...

    Stanton 881S or Sumiko Rainier for Pioneer PL-51a?

    I just bought a Pioneer PL-51a turntable. It came with an old Stanton 881S cartridge. It has a little brush at the front of it. Anyway, I have no idea how old the cartridge is, or what kind of shape it is in, but my research shows it is a pretty decent one, and it sounds okay. I am considering...

    Connecting Pioneer SX-828 to Powered Subwoofer

    I am looking to connect a Pioneer SX-828 to a powered subwoofer. The sub has hi-level inputs and a line-in input. The goal is to control the subwoofer with the volume on the receiver. The sub also has hi-level outputs for speakers. One caveat, I would also like to connect two sets of speakers...

    Kenwood KR-5400 vs Pioneer SX-828 vs Onkyo A-7

    I’ve got an Onkyo A-7 amp that I love. Picked up a Kenwood KR-5400 in great condition. Cost $30 and restoring it for an additional $100. Like its looks but wondering how it compares to the Onkyo — or to a Pioneer SX-828 I was considering. Using these with Kenwood KL-5090 speakers.

    Pioneer SX-828 Bias is negative

    Following previous posts I've replaced all e-caps on PS, Prot, Head, AF and all transistors and E-caps on Main amp board along with new trim pots. Turned it on without load or dummy resistors through DBT and took measurements. Bias is within -0.030mv on both sides and I do not have enough trim...
