    Where to download USB drivers for Marantz integrated amp (DAC)

    Hello! I'm trying to download the USB driver for my newly (second hand) acquired Marantz PM7005 integrated amp and the link on their website doesn't seem to work. I tried the internet archive and that didn't work either. Any idea where I could get it? I'm looking for the windows version. Thanks...

    Technical Question about Pinnacle AC 550 speakers and Crossovers and Drivers

    All, I just picked up some Pinnacle AC 550s, untested, for under $20. But, when testing them, on one speaker for sure both the woofer and the tweeter sounded "crackly" and a bit distorted. I have terrible ears, but this is what I'm hearing. So I switched both the woofer and the tweeter over to...

    Yamaha A-1 Transistor Replacements

    Hello good people of Audiokarma! Since this is my 1st original post here, here's a couple of words about myself. I am from Canada and just like most, if not all of you I enjoy good music, good sound and some DIY-ing during my non-existent spare time. I've been a quiet observer of Audiokarma for...

    Advent woofer driver identification help

    Hi, all. I've been cleaning out my father's home and found this pair of Advent loudspeakers. I could use some help from the community to identify these. The date on the one tweeter was October 23, 1974, but the other tweeter was not dated. Am I correct that these are the orange fried egg...

    Dahlquist DQ-20 recommended tests

    Been looking for quite a while and I found a pair of DQ-20’s within a reasonable distance from me. Least to say they are now sitting in my living room! It will be a few months before I can get the NAD amp for them, so in the meantime I want to re-foam and do tests to ensure they are tip top...

    Marantz 2330 driver subs

    I have a 2330 on the bench with driver subs I never saw before. Instead of 2SA839/2SC1669 I see 2SB596/2SD526. The spec sheets say these subs can take half the voltage as the originals. Pretty sure I should replace them - even if working?

    Sansui QRX-3000 Driver Transistors

    I just finished repairing a QRX-3000 that had both front channels out - 2 outputs (2SD313), the output caps and the NPN drivers TR805 & TR806 (the schematic calls for 2SC634As but the original parts that were installed were 2SC1364s). Everything else tested good. I used 2SC1060s for the...

    Sound comes out of speakers and headphones simultaneously

    I recently purchased a pair of SVEN SPS-702 speakers, however I noticed that whenever I plug my headphones into the speakers, sound continues to come out of one speaker plus the headphones and I can't seem to get my speakers to play sound exclusively through the headphones. I read online that...

    Driver question, EPI M202 specifically

    Hello, I have read all the M202 posts I could find, and poked around other restore threads. I don't see an answer, or I am searching incorrectly. I have finally opened up my M202s to start restoring. I am hoping to just re-cap, clean the dial, and replace the binding posts. If the drivers are...

    Is anyone else super OCD with their speakers?

    I just spent the last few minutes hovering around a paper cone woofer with a flashlight, my brain fully convinced that I had altered the sonic characteristics of the woofer by cleaning it with a microfiber towel. It was the rough sound of that microfiber dragging across the paper cone that got...

    Hey there! Novice here, so apologies in advance if I'm missing something simple. I recently picked up a pair of AR18s speakers in great shape, the only issue is that a red spring clip on one of the terminals is busted. It looks a replacement terminal would only cost me a few bucks, but I'm...

    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...

    Help Identifying a JBL driver

    Hey, so I recently got a driver that claims to be an LE5-6, however it very clearly isn't. The only thing it has in common with my other LE5-6s is the casket and labelling on the magnet. The cone and dustcap appear to be completely different. It also reads an impedance of 7.4 ohms, roughly .7...

    Why grill just the midrange or the tweeter?

    Hello. I'm curious to know why is it so many models of home speakers have separate grills only covering the midrange driver, or just the tweeter, sometimes both, used on 3-way (or more) speakers. For 2-way speakers, the tweeter? Why not protect the woofer too? I'm not referring to the main...
