I'm a big fan of the Luxman LV-113, but mine died so I picked up and LV-111 I was told functioned and is just dusty inside (is it ever). I'm all new to this and stupidly did not ask to see under the cover before I purchased. The area I'm concerned with is the outlets which appear at the back of...

This is a continuation of the sale I recently posted on.... apparently the ultra-hi-fi was tucked away in boxes with the Christmas decor haha. Audio gear is listed waaaay at the bottom https://www.estatesales.net/IL/Frankfort/60423/2560917 Monster Power surge $60 BAT VK-31SE preamp $1200 Kora...

Rebuilding a system and looking for advice on a few names/models of speakers that I might node around for under $500 - used but nice. I'm handy so a little rework isn't an issue. Will drive with a Mits DA10-DC 100WPC, genres listened to mainly Americana, Rock, Outlaw Country - and loud is good...

New to the forum - first post! I'm interested in setting up a <$300 2-speaker stereo for my medium-sized bedroom. My main criteria is clear, full-range sound that I can crank up when I want (26yo male :D). Low maintenance is also a priority. I stream most my music from Spotify premium, but I'd...

I am new to vinyl {vinyls --> slashed}. Last week I went to town and saw some shops selling boxes of vinyl at various prices. Some of the oldest ones might cost only as low as $5. I'd like to know how do we determine if these vinyl are still playable? If the shops/stalls don't provide testing...

Hey, I've been in love with my Sony PS-LX3 for ten years. I had fond memories of the Technics (SL-10) that I grew-up with, which had a Repeat, and a Return function (and auto-cueing), and I basically just searched Craiglist for a turntable with those functions [side note: I have since bought...

Have to make a choice pretty quick - I am very intrigued by both turntables. Pros and cons for each? Thanks!

Hey guys, I've never been on this forum before but I was refered here and thought you might have some good info. I can get my hands on a ST70 for around $350, but only until tomorrow. I've been really interested in getting into speaker set ups and especially tube amps as a fledgling headphone...

I picked up a record, Nonstop Feeling, from a band called Turnstile. It had a digital copy code in it. Its a used record so I dont know if the codes been used or not, but if anyones interested let me know and Ill give it to you.

These speakers need new foam surrounds for the woofers, but I have no idea how these sound like since they have a very little online presence. I have all the tools to repair speakers and am not willing to buy new speakers if they cost more than $40. I know how to solder and have experience with...

Im setting up my first real turntable setup, and so far I have a Technics SL20 with a 90s Pioneer Reciever. I've got a small LA apartment living room that I need bookshelf speakers for, and have more or less $200 to spend. My dad is wanting me to go new, and doesn't like risking used equipment...

Hi all, First i'd like to apologize if this s not the right place to post this. I recently bought a used Akai AM-55 with a pair of Musical Fidelity speakers, The system looks and sounds as new and i am very happy with it. Few days ago i tried connecting to the digital inputs (which i never had...

Does anyone know of different books, magazines, or websites where one might be able to understand the world of audio? Like what makes a certain amp work better with...x speakers, receiver, turntable, etc. Mostly, my goal is to know what gear would fit my listening habits and general knowledge of...

So my current bedroom set up is a set of energy 3.1e, and a paradigm pdr 10, running off a technics sa ax7 (not an ideal set up bud for what I have into it, it seems to sound half decent). There are a set of paradigm 5se mk3 for sale for $90, I was wondering if they are worth it, and if not what...

I found a pair of Realistic 21s on Craigslist for $10, and they are in pretty good shape- should I buy these or a pair of JBL 2500s for sale by the same seller for $40? I really don't know. I have the $40 and $10 to spend, but which one is better? I like the compact size of the Realistics, but I...

Hello! I'm about to buy a pair of polk monitor 5's and need a receiver, does anyone know of any that would be a good match for these? Preferably under $200. Thanks!
