    Yamaha AX-390 has an audible hiss on both channels.

    Hello AKers, I have a Yamaha AX-390 stereo amplifier with a rather annoying problem. There is hiss from the speakers, equally loud on both channels and affected by the balance knob.

    Marantz 2226 hiss/static noise after few minutes.

    Hi guys, I have a problem with an old Marantz 2226. It made a hiss/static noise when I pushed the power on/off switch during few seconds every time, and the noise disappeared after approximately 6/7 seconds with no noise at all during hours. I though it needed a good cleaning with Deoxit...

    Boo...(Hiss) on the inputs Lafayette LR-1500T

    Greetings all, I'm having a small issue with my LR-1500T receiver. I know that having some degree of noise is common in the phono stage, but that's not what this is. This is a broad-spectrum white noise that is probably 10 times what it should be. That said, if there is something hooked up to...

    Picked up a luxman r600 a few days ago that had a burnt fuse, replaced that and got it up and running. Everything works fine with it except that the left channel hisses.

    Pionner SX-650 Weird Popping Problems

    Few years back, I got an excellent condition Pionner SX-650. Love the thing, but recently both channels have a quite slow popping sound. It's a weird consistent clicking sound. If there isn't anything going though AUX and when I turn the volume up, the popping sound will increase. When I play...
