Hi folks, I have an elusive and mysterious protection issue I believe originates from the power supply. HISTORY I bought a working Pioneer SX-727 up until I decided to begin rebuilding. I did my research on Audiokarma as I always do before jumping into a rebuild. The first day of the rebuild I...

Hi Everyone, Just had a conversion with Mr. Arnel Bautista, and I have made the decision to ship out my Sui 5050 to him, and allow him to work his magic. I have seen his name come up on these forums time and time again, and I believe he is the person for the job. I absolutely can not wait to...

Statistically, I would bet that AK members (on average) are more “sonically gifted” as human beings than the masses. Why else would most of us be here, and love our professions and/or hobbies? Great podcast exploring how humans process sound and music, and its repercussions on life in general...

Hi guys! I really love my Dual 704. Sounds great and it's really reliable. There's one thing though that's bothering me and it's that cracking noise when I move the tonearm into the starting position. I opened it up and put some contact cleaner onto the switch that's released when the tonearm...

Hi, a total newbie here. I hope you are all well. I have a MC225 which I bought about 25+ years ago. I hadn't used it much in the past. Like many people, I started listening more during the pandemic. Everything was fine until a year ago. One day, all of sudden, the sound got very...

Hi everyone, just got my Akai 747 up and running. I want to record from my iPad to the 747. I have connected the ipad to the 2 input ports on the back. When listening to the music thru the source button it sounds pretty good. However when listening thru the tape button it sounds slight garbled...

Howdy everyone! It was working yesterday, and for part of today. what I noticed was the sound to the speakers was working intermittently, then poof, no sound. I also found a Pioneer PL560 which would play albeit quietly. I figured being plugged into phono, it wouldn't need a preamp. So today...

is sansui audio sound equipment still good nowadays please let me know

Hi am new to this forum, so I really hope that I am posting in the correct place. I received this unit, owner says it wasn't playing in stereo, and had to "wiggle' the switch to get it to play sometimes (fixed that problem, with Deoxit). Well it played awesomely and sounded good. So as I was...

Working on 2325 with left channel out. The sound output returned when I was using RCAs to test and crossing channels between Pre-out and Main. I noticed RCA was sensitive to touch on one of the Pre-Out RCA outputs causing the left channel sound to cut in and out. I used Deoxit D5 spray and...

Hi all, I recently bought an SAE e102 computer direct line stereo equalizer from Goodwill. It works fine some of the LED display works but the center equalizer display is completely black. You can anyone help me diagnose why this display isn't reading anything at all. Thanks, J

Hi there guys, I really need your help.. I don't know a better place to ask then on an audiophiles forum. I've uploaded video to YT describing my problem (it was easier like that I guess). My knowledge about this issue is really limited unfortunately.. :( Thanks in advance, Morphy.

Hi Guys, I recapped the pre-amp board (PE01) on my 2325 and am not getting any output on the left channel. I am running a sine wave from an audio generator into the AUX RCA inputs and am monitoring through the headphones and Tektronix 465. I am only getting output on the right channel in the...

I hope the cumulative wisdom of Audio Karma can help to find thr answer I cant find online... it may require for someone to have the experience owning or listening to both, the Soundsmith Zephyr VPI and the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star SE. I have the Zephyr VPI and so far has been a great cart...

Hi everyone. I'm picking up a Yamaha RX-V870 for $12 CAD. Does anyone have any input on this device? I'm primarily going to be using it for music. Records in particular. Hooking up a Pioneer PL-255 turntable directly to it through the phono input. As well as 2 Technics 1200 turntables...

Hi there! New to AK and I have to say it seems so cool...this reminds me of the Internet when I was a kid/teenager. There used to be lots of websites and not just the 5 that seem to comprise 95% of all Internet traffic nowadays. But I digress. Anyway, my question for the AK community is this -...

I never understood what people meant by this. The turntable turns the record that's it right? So if you use a decent turntable and the same arm and cartridge shouldn't the sound always be about the same even when you use a different turntable? A lot of people claim otherwise but I just don't...

Hi guys, I've been reading the forum for a while now, but it is my first post. So, first I just want to say hello to all of you! Now, my situation : I have an Akai AP-206 that was given to me by my grandparents. I changed the old cartridge for a AT95E. It was all going through my roommate's...

I recently acquired a Yamaha system which consists of a CA-410 amp, a CT-410 tuner, a YP-211 turntable and a pair of NS-430 speakers. I traded everything for my Akai AM-U02 receiver. I didn't test everything yet but I plugged the speaker to my Toshiba SA-300 and I hear a high pitch sound from...
