receiver

Picked this unit up last night for $15.75 at the Goodwill. It was a diamond in the rough, covered with 50 years’ worth of fingerprints, grime and dust. I could tell that it was in decent shape, It powered up, with dial lights, and it was heavy and mega solid so I bought it. First thoughts...

Hi, For about 8 years now I've used the M Audio AV-40s as my main computer speakers, as well as for light studio work (I do it all on the same computer). I also have a receiver-amplifier hooked to a tape deck and a turntable, that has a phono out. I have a converter from the 1/4" out on that to...

Hi everyone. I am a proud owner of an Optonica SA 5101 receiver. I have owned this many years but it has been in the loft for around 15 years :( Now I have more space I fetched it down and checked it over visually. The standard capacitors looked fine to the eye. I powered it on and it...

So I just bought a Luxman r 1050 receiver and have been working on it for a couple of hours now. I have it to the point where it's basically fully functional however there is a bit of a weird issue that I am not too sure about. The volume indicator leds only work if the dolby fm feature is...

While I was working on a basket case KR-4400 I noticed there didn't seem to be much info on the forum about this model. This thread is just meant to document the components I found inside my receiver. There weren't many variations from the service manual other than the main amp board...

Hey there, My first post on here but followed the site for some time. I have recently bought a Pioneer STR-11L receiver which is in great condition apart from the power switch. It won’t turn off so have to switch the receiver off at the mains. No hardship as such but would like to get it fixed...

I have an Allied model 390 receiver, solid state, that I would love to find more information about. Nothing on Google, and haven't found anything in any older Allied or Radio Shack catalogs. Plenty on the model 395, and other though. Does anyone know anything about this model (specs, years...

I would like to drive my soundbar that has remote subwoofer with my receiver. Main reason for using the soundbar with receiver is to utilize the remote subwoofer. Is this possible? Thanks in advance

Hi. What is the name of the part in the red box? It’s on the bottom of my Technics SA205 receiver and is very hot to touch. I put a small fan in front of it, but that part is still hot. What causes it to be so hot and is that normal? I’m only using the radio with two small speakers. Thanks.

Hey Everyone, New to the community and working to put together my first set up since having 'adult money'. I managed to get a pair of ADS L710 speakers and have a Fluance RT-81 turntable. Trying to pick the right amp/receiver to pair them with. I'd like to spend less than $1,500 on both the amp...

Here is the link to the manual I uploaded to HiFi Engine. It states it is incomplete. The gentleman who was so very kind enough to scan his and email it to me sent it to me this way. It is without the cover page, and pages 1-3. I am unsure as to whether or not there was any actual data on...

Thought I would share my project video series from a restoration I recently did of a tired old Vintage SX-950 receiver I recently finished restoring. It now has a new lease on life and will still serve for many more decades to come. Jump to the last part to see the final outcome. Here is part...

I posted last week about looking for a service manual for the Realistic STA-870 AM/FM receiver. No one here has one, and i've spent a week scouring the internet for a PDF or even a hard copy of this manual. I've looked at manual repositories, forums, message boards, eBay, EVERYWHERE. It seems...

Hi Everyone, I know this has been posted about before, and believe me, I've read the threads. But I could use some advice. I'm looking for an amplifier to use with a pair of nicely restored Acoustic Research AR-2ax speakers. I'm currently using an Onkyo TX-8222 50 wpc stereo receiver. My...

I've had my Marantz for about 6 months. When I got it, I put LEDs in, replaced the vellum paper and DeOxited all switches and knobs. Lately it has started to have an intermittent dead left channel. It is not a dirty switch. When I use the preamp outs to hookup another amp it doesn't happen (so...

I have an Onkyo Tx-2500 (mk1 version). Last summer it started making a bunch of loud crackling noises (like the sound you'd get if you dragged your fingernails across a live microphone) accompanied by a deep bass noise (sort of a pulsing womp womp womp womp... sound). This happens even when the...

Ok, I'm a noob. Just looking for some advice and help. My system is not great, so go easy on me :) I'd like to upgrade the receiver on my system and go vintage, but not sure the right way to go. Right now, I have my sights set on a Concept 6.5 or Marantz 2270. Others? It would replace an...

Hello AK community, Ben here. Total newbie. Nice to meet you all. I've been lurking in this forum for a bit, trying to get some guidance about what kind of vintage receiver might be the right upgrade. Can someone tell me the best place to ask this question? It's probably straight forward to...

Team Audiokarma, I recently found this dude, likely paid too much for it but love the look and the wood case. Trying to tackle the 120 cycle hum I'm getting out of both channel across all functions and with volume at zero. Welp, I replaced a bunch of caps because, well, I wanted to! This is an...

First time post so don't eat me alive too much. I have done my research but to be honest I am all over the place and need some advice. I have a cheap Audiotechnica turntable that I am looking to upgrade to probably a Fluance RT-85. I know there are better but for the price they are right where...

Hello all! I haven't posted in a bit, but I scored some new stuff for a pretty decent price today and wanted to share it with you all! Here's what I got today: Technics SA-5270 1977 Stereo Receiver; 35 WPC into 8Ω The unit was received in near mint condition, with no manual present. Very low...

Hey everyone. I just recently picked up a JVC VR-5505 off of a local classifieds site for a decent little price. When I got home and wired everything up it seemed to sound great, everything coming in nice and clear on both channels. However, the more I used it and it warmed up, the left channel...

I was browsing around the other day, and saw a Sansui R30 receiver. Nothing really special, but one of the pictures jumped out at me. When you look at the back of the receiver, you will notice the speaker connects are not standard Sansui. In fact, to me, they look like they were made by...

Hello all AKers! :) My first post here, I've been reading you for some time from France and I appreciate all the content. A real resource for all Hi-Fi enthusiasts, well done! I come to the subject. I will soon be receiving a pair of beautiful JBL L100 Century. Perhaps not the most faithful...

Hello, I am new to this community, and am hoping to receive some advice and recommendations for upgrading my speakers, receiver and turntable. First off, I wanted to provide you with some background information on my current equipment and room dimensions. Speakers- Paradigm Performance Series-...
