I recently bought a Soundcraftsmen DX4200 preamp equalizer to go through and sell. It was already an unusual unit, it does not have rack handles. First time I have seen that. I also noticed it felt heavy. Upon opening the top cover, I found a big attempt at reducing noise in the power supply...
Hey everyone,
I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some guidance. I recently acquired a Technics SH-GE70 graphic equalizer, but I'm having an issue with it – it's completely dead, no power whatsoever.
I've checked the basics:
* The power cable is securely plugged into both the unit...
Hi everyone!
I recently picked up an ADC Sound Shaper 110 equalizer on Facebook Marketplace. It’s a 10-band stereo EQ with a built-in spectrum analyzer. To be honest, I’d never heard of ADC (Audio Dynamics Corporation) before. I mainly bought it for the aesthetics—it looks great in my setup...
Was gifted a Technics SH-8010 EQ by a coworker. Plugged it in on the bench and had power, and the switches on the front seem to work fine, everything lit up like it should. Tested on the bench from my PC with a 3.5mm to RCA into a pioneer Sx-780 I've been working on and had a good output, but...
Greetings AK universe. Does anyone know the part number and/or specs the EQ-35 slider LEDs? Assuming it's polarized. I want to replace all for uniformity and don't want to cobble together a set of various used ones. Thanks
I have seen several posts here regarding hooking up an equalizer to an amplifier using the tape monitor, but nothing specific about what I don't know.
I have a Pioneer SG-9500 equalizer hooked up to a Pioneer SA-708 amp via tape 2. I followed the instructions on the manual, etc, and it's...
This post is a long shot, but here goes!
Given that there was only little over 6,000 MQ-101 units made originally, it's over 45 years since they were last produced, probably only a small portion of the units that remain in use, and a very few being operated in European mains voltage areas...
Friends,
I got a free Fisher EQ-870 equalizer, cheap of course, but pure Japanese.
The lid was rusty, everything was fine inside, but according to the schematic, there was nothing good inside anyway.
So, on one side the paint was swollen, and there the rust did its job.
Anyway, I washed it, it...
After removing, disassembling, cleaning, lubing, reassembly, and soldering thousands of Soundcraftsmen sliders; I thought it would be nice to install some new ones. For the right price, it may balance out by saving all those hours on labor. There are currently no adapter boards for this purpose...
Anyone know anything about this EQ?
It was part of my in-law's NDA 7020 system, but I know wasn't bought at the same time as the NAD.
It powers up, but I haven't nor do I intend to use it.
I Googled and can't find a darn thing about it...
Hello all,
Looking for some recommendations on models of Pioneer equalizers to pair with my SX-838. I know there is the SG-9500, but its pricey from what I see and doesnt look to be as wide as the SX-838. Its a really nice eq, but not sure I can afford one!
Any others recommended that would...

I received a new Lokius Equalizer yesterday from Schiit and wanted to give my first impression on the EQ. It arrived quickly and well packaged. I bought the Lokius to add some subtle bass guitar and kick-drum punch to my system. I'm running a Fluance RT85 turntable with a 2M Blue cartridge...
Hello solid state gurus. Thanks for checking out this thread and for any help you can provide. I have very little experience in repair or rehab on solid state components, and I hope someone can help me with suggestions for an equalizer that recently started misbehaving.

I am very new to all of this and still learning, so be gentle with me.
I am working on this Sound Shaper One EQ, I opened it up and R122 was smoked, so I replaced it with a 1K ohm resistor as per the diagram. I powered it back up and after about 10 seconds the magic smoke appeared again so...
I've been using this beautiful unit for a little while now and thought everything was fine, although a bit crunchy when pressing buttons. The Sound has the 'warm' feeling from old caps and the power supply caps for sure need to be replaced, hence that thread. The first owner was my father, unit...
Hey y'all, I recently picked up a Mitsubishi DA-G157 EQ and I'm trying to hook it up to my Sony STR-DE545 Receiver. I'm tried almost every configuration possible with the RCA's but I can't seem to get it to work. Been researching this for hours now and I'm getting conflicting results. So here's...

Hi all,
I recently bought an SAE e102 computer direct line stereo equalizer from Goodwill.
It works fine some of the LED display
works but the center equalizer display is completely black. You can anyone help me diagnose why this display isn't reading anything at all.
Thanks,

Hey guys, I have a question about grounding in a setup that I want to use to play 78s. It's kind of convoluted, but I think it will work well once I get the grounding figured out. I don't have much technical knowledge about grounding, but I do want to make sure that I don't damage any of my...

Recently I purchased a FiiO M11 for me--I got my wife one last July for her birthday and finally broke down and got one for me. I'm looking for a good headphone amplifier to chain to the FiiO M11. I've got two sets...
Hello, I have recently acquired some Bose 901 series V speakers, stands and equalizer. Sadly I didn't get a chance to test before I bought. The equalizer seems not to be working - when I depress the "monitor" switch, It does not seem to engage the equalizer circuit.
I am trying to trouble...
