My luck was good last week with the RS7 Infinities and now the Goodwill $14.00 find the other day.
Picked this up i played a CD on it with no amp or headphones at the store, Tray was smooth with no noise or hang ups looked like it tracked perfectly.
I got it home and found a huge problem, it plays and in stereo no skipping no funny tracking even tapping on the chassis it kept in time.
What is going on once you hit play it has this mind numbing nasty hum and the sound of the music is distorted.
You can hear the music playing behind all this noise and from what little i can hear this is a nice deck as i have read.
I opened it up and was surprised how clean it was as like the outside no bulging, leaky or burnt caps no signs of any burnt components at all.
One thing i did notice that when i power it up and use the headphone jack, the volume seems to be cranked all the way. I have to hit the decrease button quickly to bring it down.
I turn the deck off and back on again it's all the way up.
I am asking for suggestions on if i should keep it and have it repaired or sell it to someone that can fix it?
I have to much going on and my Rotel 990 needs fixing as well...
I'm no electrical wizard i can solder like the mad hatter but it comes to tracking down the Gremlins?
In short I suck..
