    Who has experience repairing or restoring Harman Kardon gear? What have you worked on?

    We get a good number of threads here on AK with questions about Harman Kardon audio gear... and we have lots of people who chime in with their firsthand experience. I'm curious as to who all here has repaired or restored or recapped any Harman Kardon receivers, amps, equalizers, tape decks...

    Harman Kardon Citation 16a slow beeping sound

    I recently bought this amp from a B.C. Government Auction website so I wasn’t able to test it prior to the purchase. When I got it home and plugged it in it worked fine, sounded quite good actually, except for the a slow beeping sound audible when powered on. It’s not terribly noticeable when...

    Harman/Kardon 330C - speaker terminal replacement?

    Hi all, I picked up a H/K 330c, in decent shape, with just a few issues. One of the issues is that a whole row of speaker terminals is wrecked and needs replacing. This must be a common problem, they are pretty flimsy. I have disconnected them and taken the broken mount panel out too. There's...

    Looking for a reputable solid state amp repair shop in metro NYC area

    Hello, all I am looking for a repair shop that would fix my Harman Kardon PM660 amp in the NYC area. I was using a DeOxit D5 to clean the amp to fix a problem where the mode selector would only play on both speakers if it was set to mono, and stereo would output sound on one speaker and...

    Harman Kardon SR 900 refurb (and tweaks?)

    I am refurbishing an H/K SR 900. A little background on this unit: it was possibly the first successful solid-state receiver hitting the market in 1964 or 1965 and selling for around $450. Inside it is all point to point wiring, with two output transformers and all(?) germanium transistors...

    Differences between Harman Kardon ST vs T series turntables

    hey guys it seems like there is little information available on Harman Kardon turntables. I am specifically interested in what the differences are between the ST and the T series turntables. From what I could gather from the pricing on eBay, ST series seem to be more expensive than the T...

    Right channel doesn't work only when it's set to stereo

    Hello. I bought a H/K PM660 not too long ago and I have been enjoying them ever since I got them fixed. Over the last few days though I noticed something peculiar. The right channel wouldn't work when it's set to stereo. When I set it to reverse, the right channel works, the left channel does...

    Harman Kardon 930: Distortion

    Hi All, I am presently tinkering with a H/K 930 that has been awaiting attention, and it's sounding...not great. Deoxit has been thoroughly done, it's definitely not that. When I run a CD player into the AUX 1 or 2, I get major distortion, equal in both channels. Same in Radio mode. This is...

    Hello, I have a question that I can not really find on the internet. I know people like both of these amps and are happy with them and so am I with my pa2400 signature series. Is it worth to upgrade the pa2400 signature to the signature 1.5? Would it be a good idea to bi-amp both? if so, what...

    Harman/Kardon 930 : dial won't light, bulbs ok

    Hi, Recently acquired this receiver. I can't seem to figure out why the dial scale on this 930 won't light up, despite the fact that all the bulbs are testing ok. It takes qty. of 7, 6.3v 250ma fuse-type bulbs, all testing fine. Anyone know this unit really well and/or had this problem...

    H/K Signature 2.1 amp double stumper question

    OK... maybe I'm just foolish but I bought a European 220V H/K Signature 2.1 amp (5-channel x 100W) with a 220 /110 up/down converter. Question 1) How dumb am I thinking that I might be able to convert this beast to 110V and use it without the converter? Question 2) Added to the task is the...
