    Philips ag2230! Tonearm repair.

    Hello everyone! I'm asking for help with repairing a Philips ag2230w. I am trying to eliminate play in the tonearm in the vertical plane of movement. I can't figure out how to disassemble the assembly, meaning how to remove the tonearm tube. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Oil change in Telefunken st 850.

    Good afternoon. I would like to ask about changing the oil in the engine of this turntable. A couple of days ago I bought a Telefunken st 850 for 15 euros. It turns on, maintains speed, the tonearm works, I washed the bearings in gasoline. I am interested in the issue of engine maintenance...

    Help! DAC Suggestions for Cambridge Audio CXC-V2?

    Hello AK, I'm a bit of a noob to world of Hi-Fi. I started building my system about a year ago now. My brother-in-law gave me a JVC XL-FZ258 5-disc changer he picked up from an employer. It didn't look like it had ever been used, the price was right (free!) and it has proved to be a...

    Hey! I have acquired today a pretty interesting and at the same time beautiful amplifier from JungSon. I believe the company is sort of dead today, by this I mean it doesn't make new amplifiers today. They are still making OEM parts for the other companies (something I have read online while...

    Need HK Speaker Wall Mount Suggestions

    I have 7 Harman/Kardon HKTS speakers in Silver, and I'm having a ton of trouble finding original wall mounts for them, let alone compatible ones. For some god forsaken reason H/K decided to have the mounting screw-in to be on the bottom of the speaker instead of the back side. (Not my...

    I have a Harman Kardon HK385i and it has pretty good specs from what I can tell, total harmonic distortion %.09 and SNR 80dB. I love the way it sounds, but I have always wanted a receiver that looks like the vintage type (vu meters, silver face, switches, wood grain, etc). Would I have to...
