    Realistic Nova 7 tweeter questions

    Thanks in advance for any and all replies here. I purchased a pair of Nova 7 speakers and committed the unforgiveable sin of listening but not asking for both grills to be removed. So I got home and quickly found one stock Realistic 4ohm tweeter (or maybe I should say stock looking, should they...

    TAE Ronette styli info??

    Happy Friday! I have a question regarding TAE Ronette stylus/needle compatibility. I've done a few online searches, but still am unsure of what I'm looking at. A local seller has a lot of "2-300" TAE Ronette styli/needles. They come in a red case with multiple drawers, I'm assuming from a...

    Realistic STA-780 keeps blowing fuse. Short? How to identify?

    Hello, I'm an audio newbie and I've never had any electrical education so bear with me please. THE STORY: I got this STA-780 for free and the previous owner said he went to plug in the aux jack while the receiver was on and the volume was up. The speakers made a loud noise and the fuse was...

    MCS 3222 plays both channels on radio but nothing else? Help a newbie.

    So I recently got a free Modular Component Systems JCP 3222 because the guy said it only plays through one channel ( left speakers).

    First Ever Turntable... What should I buy?

    Hi all. I recently picked up a few nice (and near mint!) LPs from a local charity shop, and am now looking for something to play them on, ideally for less than £85.

    Hello all, I've got a pair of Mitsubishi da-a15dc power amps that have been sitting for years. Initially I was able to power both of them up, but each one displayed some type of problem.
