    Noise and Circuit Breaker Issue from Power Amp

    I recently added a power amp to my system and am having some problems with it. I used to be running a Denon AVR 988 amplifying 5 speakers in a 5.1 configuration. Now I've added a Carver M-1.5 power amp to power front L and R in the setup. I have the Carver connected to the switched outlet on the...

    Denon PMA s10 iii help

    Dear AK Friends, I have a dillema. I used to love this amp till i got a Sansui CA / BA 3000 set and had it recapped. I find the details in the music and the smoothness amazing, especially in the mid an high band. When I use this amp, it sounds flat and lifeless and extremely boomy / flabby on...

    Denon SL-9DA any info?

    I'm looking at a Denon SL-9DA turntable (online auction) and the seller says it is a market sample from Canada to the USA and US voltage? I have never heard of this model. There seem to be a few in europe but none in the USA. The closest equivalent for US/Canada voltage (110VAC) appears to be...

    Anyone feel like recommending a preamp?

    I would love to hear about your favorite preamps! Tube, Solid, Vintage, New, Hifi, etc? I will only be using it with my turntable. I currently have a Denon DP 60L Turntable with a Marantz 1060 that I use as a preamp and 2 Marantz MA500s that power a set of Thiel CS3.6s. Is there any benefit to...

    Is there a way to fix the built in amp?

    I bought a Denon DP - DJ 151 turntable at a pawn shop for Christmaslast year. It has a switch on the back labeled phono / line . My understanding is that the"line" side does not need a preamp. But there is almost no volume. Is there a way to fix the built in amp?

    Tuner Advice

    I have a Marantz Model 20 (not 20B), and a Sony ST-5000FW. A Radio X modified ST-5000FW is the best sounding tuner I've ever heard, but I've certainly not heard everything. What would be the better tuner in which to invest with restoration/modifications? What other tuners would be recommended...

    Best Sources for Denon 103R?

    So, I've been out of the game for a little while as life got in the way. Now that I'm getting my systems set up again, I find myself in need of another cart for one of my turntables. I was looking at the 103R, and I see that they're often to be had for about $100 less than retail by going...

    Denon DL-103 + 'cheapie' Soundsmith Retip.

    Hi all, I purchased a used Denon DL-103 of the ZU variety, which is a DL-103 that it's been potted in an aluminum body. The seller had broken the cantilever and he'd had it re-tipped at Soundsmith and has never used it. He got the cheapest retip option, which is the 'Aluminum Alloy...

    Help! Stuck In Protect Mode

    I have a top-of-the-line mid-to-late 1980's Class-A 2-channel Denon DRA-1025R receiver. I'm its original owner and can attest this is an absolutely terrific piece of kit, very "70's like" as opposed to computer controlled. I haven't been able to use it for several years because it goes into...

    Denon PMA-2000r

    Since there seems to be a couple new Denon threads here on the SS thread, I thought I'd touted my find from a couple of weeks ago: the Denon PMA-2000r. At a garage sale, which I stopped at to look at some flower pots the sellers had on easy view to those driving by, I found this dusty old thing...

    Denon DP-47F with Nagaoka MP110

    Hi, Do any of you have any experience with the Nagaoka MP110 on the Denon DP-47F? I had my mind set on this cartridge until I learned (a bit) about tonearm mass and compliance. The Denon DP-47F has a low mass tonearm with Q-damping. As I understand it, you have to use a high compliance...

    How much do you think this would be worth?

    Trying to upgrade my condo stereo from a crappy Yamaha surround sound system to something a lot more substantial. I've already received a green card from my wife but since you guys know so much more than I do I thought I'd ask for advice. Here is what I found: 2x Polk RTA 11T (6ohm, 30-250W)...

    Denon DN-720R - How to find and replace erase-head tape guide?

    I scored one of these pro-sumer decks at a local "reuse center" (it's like a thrift shop, except that they give you a week to return things if they don't work as advertised). It looked to be in excellent condition and it was labeled "working". Indeed, I put a prerecorded audio cassette into it...

    Five Vintage Turntables To Compare

    Greetings, gentlemen. We recently rediscovered a cabinet full of well-preserved classical LPs from the 1960s and 70s. I would like to add a good quality semi-automatic turntable to our moderately priced vintage system (Marantz power/tuner, Denon cassette/CD decks, Klipsch Heresy speakers). We...

    Denon music search not working

    I recently got a Denon DRM-400. My first tape deck in at least 15 years. It sounds great, much better than I remember cassettes ever did. But there is a small hitch. The music search function for fast forwarding/rewinding doesn't work. Do you have any tips on how to fix it?

    I'm seeking advice. I've been looking to buy a good (used/vintage) first turntable for a couple of months now. I had a line on a Denon DP 1200 last month & posted here for opinions. I got great input that was generally very positive but I missed getting the TT. Now, I have a chance at the...

    My dad has some great equipment and he's not a forum person, so I thought I would share them for him. I apologize for the lack of model numbers on some of the stuff. I learned a lot of what I know from him and got into stereo/surround sound because of these systems. :thumbsup: Living Room...
