    Receiver wattage for McIntosh ML-10C speakers?

    I recently inherited a fully functional Pioneer SX-535 receiver (rated 20wpc). Will running this receiver with McIntosh ML-10C speakers cause excessive clipping even if I just listen at low-to-moderate volume in a smaller room? I also have an Onkyo TX-2500 MkII rated at 27wpc but currently...

    Cleaning SX-1250 RCA Connector Question

    Hi Everyone, Been loving my newly acquired SX-1250 and want to clean the RCA connectors. There is something on the outside of the RCA connectors. I used very fine steel wool along with DeoxIT to clean the metal "jumpers" to get what looked like rust off of them. Don't know if it's dust that...

    New to Me Akai GX-220D

    Just bought an Akai GX-220D from an estate sale. It was filthy, and probably hadn't been played in 20+ years. Spent the afternoon tearing it down, cleaning and lubing it, then cleaning all of the pots/switches/buttons. Just hooked it up, and it sounds and looks like it just rolled off the...

    Zenith 17" 4 Tube B/W Hybrid

    I got this set form a local TV repair man when he moved out. It's a Zenith, so it worked great when I got it and have done no work on it.
