Pioneer SA-7100

Hey all,

This is my first post, of many, here at Audio Karma.

I found a Pioneer SA-7100 at value village today for $15. Got it home, and it's still sounds fantastic.

I've noticed one "problem" though (aside from cleaning up the case, which desperately needs to be done). When adjusting the volume, my speakers tend to "crack". Now, I currently have crappy speakers which I need to replace, but they do not do this with my other receiver or when I'm listening to music. Only when adjusting the volume on the Pioneer SA-7100.

Anybody have any thoughts to what might be causing that? Could the internals just need to be cleaned?

Thanks,
~Nick

Great price on a nice amp.

Welcome to AK, BTW.

Sounds like you need to clean the volume potentiometer.

Check the sticky on cleaning controls.

Here it is.

You may be able to get to the volume pot by removing the top and bottom.
