    Pre out levels seems lower than published specs on my Marantz receiver

    Hi all, I have a split HT/2ch system. For music it’s an external DAC into the analog CD input of a Marantz SR6012 which has analog pre outs feeding an Onkyo M-504 power amp. As a test, I hooked up a Onkyo P304 preamp being fed the same DAC to the M-504. Conservatively it’s 2-3 times louder at...

    Intro

    Good morning, I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It...

    Question about replacing relays

    I am trying to find out why a Denon PMA 560 has very low volume on both channels. Looking around on the web I've seen that a common problem in this amp is that relays often fail or misbehave, so I went ahead and ordered new relays on Ebay that are supposed to be compatible with this model. The...

    Denon DL-304 LOMC Cartridge Opinions

    Crackling / Distortion with Audyssey XT32?

    I use a Denon AVR-X3500H as my receiver. I feed an external set of power amplifiers for the front two channels via the analog pre outs. I have run the advanced set up in the $20 app from Denon, and when I use AirPlay to cast from Tidal to the 3500H the Audissey works brilliantly. I’ve done both...

    Denon PMA-1560 unobtanium MOSFETs

    I am working on two of these beasts. Both have one channel blown to smithereens due to the driver MOSFETs failing. These devices, 2SJ78 and 2SK215, are low power versions of the well-known lateral audio MOSFETs like 2SJ161/K1057 and have a TO220 case with drain and source terminals swapped. I...

    Puzzler - why is turntable output suddenly lower?

    I have a strange situation with my Denon DP-47F. A few days ago, the sound got dodgy, like there was dust on the stylus. One channel went off intermittently. The stylus of the Ortofon 2m Red was clean. Eventually both channels played fine. But yesterday I replaced the cartridge with an Empire...

    Denon DRR-M10 Recording Quality Troubles

    For awhile now, I've had a Denon DRR-M10 as a secondary cassette deck. Playback quality sounds fine, but recording quality is not as good as I think it should be. So, I set up an experiment. I took 3 blank tapes: one I thought was a good example of a type I tape (a NOS Sony tape), one I thought...
