    Denon DL103S on MM Input?

    Hey all. Wondering if anyone can shed light on this. Purchased a Denon DL103S on eBay last weekend; output is 0.3mV, so needed to be into my MC input of my Nakamichi CA7 preamp. Manual says it set to "24" for gain. Cartridge impedence is 100ohm. Pre is factory-set to 100ohm. Except there's no...

    Problem with Denon AVR e400 (protect mode when use to work at my previous apt)

    I bought a Denon AVR e-400 (185 wpc) used and initially it worked fine with all my gear. My gear is definitive technology bp8 towers (200 watts), Klipsch icon 25 center channel (not sure of the watts). Well I literally just moved. Upon trying to hook up everything in the new apartment and...

    My Marantz 2270 doesn't sound any better than my modern Denon AVR-X1700H. What am I missing?

    Hi all, hoping for some opinions. TL;DR: I can't tell much of a difference between my un-serviced Marantz 2270 and Denon AVR-X1700H in A/B tests. What am I missing? Background: Since this summer I've been happily listening to music on my relatively new Denon AVR-X1700H feeding Klipsch Heresy...

    Playback issue with Denon DN-790R

    Hi all, I just bought a Denon DN-790R off ebay and there's a slight issue with it that I was hoping someone could chime in on and help me with? It plays great once it gets started, but more often than not, on pressing play, it plays without any audio coming through then stops and makes some...

    Upgrade Advice: Denon PMA-520 to ???

    Hey AK, I’m considering a few upgrades and while looking extensively at vintage units, I am now considering new gear. I currently have a late 80’s Denon PMA-520. Sounds great, but I hear that I can do better? I am seriously considering an NAD C 316BEE V2; there is one locally available for a...

    Denon DP-57L help please

    Hi everyone, I purchased a restored and recapped Denon DP-57L with an Ortofon 2M Bronze about a year ago. Until recently, the unit has been outstanding. I use it with a Mac 1900, Akai EA-A7, and HPM 100's. The issue began about a month ago. I noticed that it was only playing on one channel. I...

    Denon PMA 500V - persistent noisy right channel

    I am working on a Denon PMA 500V Amp. It has a right channel that plays but is distorted. I don't believe it's the result of bad switches or pots as I've de-oxed all of them and when I fiddle with them the distortion doesn't change for the better or worse. I wondered if the distortion was...

    The emotional roller coaster of learning to love the THX Onyx dongle DAC

    I recently acquired a pair of Vandersteen Treo CTs that made me reevaluate my whole audio set up. This is what I have learned about DACs and streaming: I am a 99% digital streamer. Outside of the very occasional record spin, I use Tidal and occasionally YouTube and PlexDash for things not...

    Denon AVR-3802 remote control question.

    Guys, anyone with an RC-883 or RC-884? Does anyone know if said remote controls ever go into sleep mode or turn off? Mine seems to just display AMP (or whatever mode it's in) and just stays like that for a long time. Haven't left it alone for any more than 5 ~ 7 mins - just wondering if that's...

    Denon PMA-600NE, Yamaha A-S501 or Rotel RB-850?

    I'm looking to replace a cheap amp I'm currently using for my setup. From my research, I've narrowed it down to the Denon PMA-600NE and the Yamaha A-S501. Out of these two, it seems the Yamaha would be the better choice. However, I've just recently acquired a Rotel RB-850 for $15 dollars, and it...

    Volume issues with Denon PRA-S10 (opamp?)

    Hi everybody, Since about a year I'm the proud and happy owner of 2 Denon POA-S10 monoblocks with matching PRA-S10 preamp. The only problem I have with the PRA is the quite challenging volume control. Changing the volume is a matter of delicately touching the remote to prevent the volume being...

    80s/90s amp advice - Denon or…?

    Looking for some opinions about decent mid-level integrated amps from the late 80s / early 90s era. Specifically the ‘classic’ black full-size separates. 80wpc RMS or higher. The rest of the system is period Denon, so my first thought was to add a Denon amp so it all matches. However...

    Denon DP-3000 motor - what is this thing?

    Hi, I am trying to figure out what this little plastic ring is. It is made of 2 halves held together by a thin spring and is screwed down with a metal cover on top of it. Is it meant to distribute oil or something like that? It seems to be causing some rubbing noise, and the turntable functions...
