Would like to know a comparison between these two SS integrated amps from early Sony. I know there is a thread on Sony TA-1120 vs 1120A vs 1120F, but I am interested only in a comparison between the original 1120 and the 1130. I read that 1120 could be the best SS amp that Sony has ever made...
Hi All,
I've come across a Sony TC-377 tape deck which is cosmetically in superb condition.
I am familiar with these decks and have serviced them before. It looks as if someone was part way through servicing the unit when it was abandoned for whatever reason. All parts are there except for the...
Yesterday 5 minutes after finding a second hand (duuuuhh) SONY STR 4046 in a German Local ads websites I bought it and it is on it's way to me as we speak..
It look s like it is in really good nick, and according to the seller works nicely.
Did n't think about possible privious repairs or any...
I have a sony tc-366 reel to reel machine that I use occasionally to listen to music. Today, after doing so, the machine stopped spinning the reels. I took the cover off and discovered that everything worked fine, the right reel and motors all spun okay, but the left wheel was extremely locked...
Audio Technica LP-60X
Sony STRDH190 Receiver
2 x Klipsch R-51M Speakers
2 x Very Old Unbranded Foster Produced Floor Speakers - 11" woofer (from family member)
I am very much a noob in this space. I've had the turntable for like a year and a half now, but for the first year I was just plugging...
Hello all,
I am looking for a vintage receiver to support my Yamaha YP-D71 TT. I currently have a Fisher 1035 but am looking for something with a little bit more output and a cleaner sound. Am looking forward to your responses. Thank you so much.
I have a modest set-up..Sony PS-LX310 TT (from the 80’s not the current Bluetooth model of the same name) a Sony DVP-S7700 cd/dvd player and a JVC RX-717V receiver.
Will I see a significant jump in audio quality if I use a $100 DAC (such as a schiit mod 3) for my turntable or CD player instead...
We primarily are listening to cartridges at this price point, many say, and I was wondering how true that is.
I put a ton of work into my latest YouTube video where I shootout two similar vintage turntables and see what's different: Technics SL-D2 & Kenwood KD-3070
Let me know what you think...
Hi. I have in my collection Sansui 7070 and Sansui AU-70. Recently there is a Sony TA-1030 for sale, which is two hours drive away from my place (I am in a smaller town). I have been reading about these early Sony units and their high reputations. Since there's no dedicated Sony forum, I think I...
Mostly mid-'70s stuff. I like the warm sounds -- and the cool lamps. Sometimes I'll just turn everything on and lower the room lights, whether I'm listening or watching a movie. They make for lovely, soothing (if relatively expensive) nightlights. Anyway, this is the kind of stereo showroom...
Looking for someone / service facility, to work on my Sony PS-X75 turntable. I am the original owner - since 1979. I am not mechanically nor electronically inclined. The turntable (TT) turns on. All of the buttons work except the tonearm's UP/DOWN. The tonearm will not go down to engage with...
Hello! I'm opening up a new thread here. Thanks all who helped in my previous question about the digital transfer project.
I'm working on a digital transfer project with several 7" 1/2 track tapes from my college radio station. Do you have any recommendations for a half track tape deck with...
I don't know if someone can help me or redirect me to the right place.
I bought a pair of WH-1000xm3 headphones and I tried to pair them with my Bluetooth device (a Miccus Home RTX 2.0) connected to my vintage TEAC AG-6500 1972 stereo amp but it doesn't work, although I can hear "Bluetooth...
I bought this defective sony biotracer one ebay and it's completely unresponsive. I have been reading around a bit and it seems that it's most likely an ic that's broken. However before I go around and look for a replacement I would like to cross out all the other possible defects and confirm...
Hi all it's my first post here and it's about my first purchased Hi-Fi amp on this audio journey. It's a Sony TA-F222ESA (aka 570ES in the west) and I admire it being a little beast with 100W @ 6 ohms with a very clear and neutral output.
However the topic at hand is I'm experiencing a hissing...
I have a TC-D5M that functions well but for one fault: There is a rapid low frequency noise (like, du-du-du-du-du-du, sort of...) on the left channel only on playback. There is a similar, quiet mechanical sound from the deck when recording from line in, but the noise is not on the recording...

Hi gents,
Apologies if this is not the right sub-forum, as you can guess by my post count I'm a completely new member to the forum!
I'll cut to the chase - about a year and a half ago I bought a Sony STR-6036 amplifier. It came in really good condition, the bulbs are working, all the channels...
Hi every one. Hoping I can get some help here.
I have a Sony STR 6046A ... which i I love ... but the left channel is virtually silent. I've seen some other posts on similar issues, but it appears that playing with the Bass pot seems to effect the issue.
I have not used a contact cleaner yet...
Hey Guys,
Hope all is well, notice these speakers were on sale for $75 and was curious to know if they would work well with my STR-7055 since it has 6ohms. Appreciate your time!
Hey Guys! I’m new to AK!
Snagged a STR-7055 for $60 and cleaned it up the pots with Deoxit. I notice when I higher the volume the speaker start distorting having a warped type sound. Doesn’t happen with headphones. Any advice?
Speakers are...
Hi all, I have a rare STR-7800SD in great shape that I'm repairing. I need a photograph of the connections of the power amp board underneath The board has no English on it, only Japanese and it has been disconnected on one side by a previous guy who did some shoddy work on it. There is no...
Hi guys,
