That is strange....same exact thing happened to my KD-V6. Had it for about a year, used it regularly and it worked like a champ, then during a Saturday taping and listening session it just started slowing down all of a sudden and now it sits in my attic. I don't think it would be the belts...

What is the best way of going about this? Is it just a matter of getting whatever residue you can with a dry cotton swab?

I think that I would just go ahead and call them too. It appears that the company has a real sense of history and commitment--which is rare nowadays. There is some real cool stuff to take a look at over at the KOSS Museum: http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/kmuseum?openform

The Koss warranty only covers headphones bought after July 1989. If you are having problems with them you might be able to fix them by tinkering with the wires below the plug. It is an easy operation if they are the same as mine (which it sounds like is the case). I bought a pair of...

I recently acquired a Pionner CT-S55R, and figured I would revive this old thread instead of starting a new one. I was wondering if anyone knew if part of the door of this model came off to make it easier to clean and adjust the head. If it does, any tips about the door are also very...

A little on the light side for my tastes, but a good snag nonetheless, man. What I love is that a lot of stuff that is rare and expensive and hell on vinyl can be had for much, much cheaper on cassette. Plus material that was not released or released in super limited qualties during the...

If you are going to be buying a lot of cassettes from thrift stores, I would recommend grabbing any gently used good quality blank tapes that you come across for spare cases, pads, shells, etc. Most of the blanks have five tiny screws holding them together and it is a simple matter of taking...

I picked up a Knight KG-996 receiver at a thrift store for dirt cheap and it sounds great to my ears. I was wondering if anyone had any information about it. The only thing that I’ve found is this blurb: The auxiliary input works like a charm for my tape, compact disc and record players...

Hello. I renewed my love affair with cassettes (broken off in the mid-to-late '90s) a few months ago and a byproduct is that I've been taking long looks at the electronics sections while scouring thrift stores for tapes. And while poking around the Internet looking for information on stereo...
