    a cheap receiver for my first setup

    Hi guys, music enthusiast & new here I'm looking for a first, nice sounding, low buck setup for my apartment. I think bookshelves speakers will be enough for the space.

    Tangential? Or high end Denon? Doubts.

    hi good people, On the hunt for a sort of decent sounding, but also modern looking and convenient second deck for my living room, where I have no place other than a wall shelf. I can get a Technics SL J3 for 50 £ or a Pioneer PL L800 for 200£ . Both are tangential and look smooth/flat to place...

    Denon 5600 pre-amp bypass idea / thoughts

    Hello, I'm new to audio style modifications but I recently picked up a avr 5600 and got a service manual for it (let me know if you want it on pdf) and the only feature that I find it lacking is a pre-amp bypass, having looked over the drawings I find that all the audio comes quite conveniently...

    Denon AVR-4800 setup without remote

    Hi Everyone. I recently found a Denon AVR-4800 at the SA for a reasonable price. I plugged it in, and it turned on, so I decided to buy it. Having brought the heavy (47lbs I think!) unit home, I hooked it up to my system and tried to give it a listen. I played around with the speaker...

    CDP, Skipping at 18 seconds.

    On track 1, played on my late-80's Denon DCD-1700, the CD skips at exactly 18 seconds (regardless of the CD), and skips to about the 1 minute mark, and continues playing. Track 2 also skips, but later tracks do not. What is the best way to troubleshoot this? Clean the lens? Does the lens need...

    Hello, I am looking for the Denon SA-3970 integrated amplifier service manual, very similar to the Denon GA-65 see attached pics. The schematics would be ok as well. Obviously the SA-3970 needs cleaning, I already removed the first very dirty stuff, and servicing as well. Thanks a lot...

    Would this AV Surround system be an upgrade?

    I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR809 in for the HDMI board replacement. In the meantime, I started looking at a new entertainment center cabinet since my old one fell apart. I found one I like but it's not really deep enough to accomodate the Onkyo. That started me looking for a newer but second...

    I got a Soundsmith level 2 stylus on a DL-110

    It was time to replace or retip my DL-110, so I decided to send my backup cartridge into Soundsmith to try the level 2 retip. This is the line contact stylus with a sapphire cantilever. It wasn't much more expensive than a new DL-110, and I was happy enough with that cartridge that I wasn't...

    The Denon PMA-1080r is my new obsession

    Picked this up on a lark while buying some speakers and sweet mother of mary does this thing play above its (literal) weight! Spent today driving my ADS L810s and Sony SS-TL5. At about 25 percent on either pair I'm heading for the exits and my neighbors are giving me looks. Considering what it...

    Denon HA-500 recap: which replacements?

    Hi, Planning to recap my Denon HA-500 headamp while my Denon Zu 103 is in the soundsmith hospital. Looking at the service manual, I can see a relatively small number of electrolytic caps. I suspect cap choice at this stage can make a huge difference, since you're amplifying a tiny signal...

    Hi all, it took next to nothing to break the cantilever from my Denon Zu 103. There is was, just lying beneath the cartridge... On the upside (desperate for a silver lining here), I bought this DL-103 Zu (not 103R), after it had been retipped at Soundsmith by a previous owner, and he chose the...
