    Hello, AK! Recently, I picked up a Pioneer SX-680 for $30. The guy I bought it from claimed that no sound came out due to a cracked PCB. Nice guy he was, he was even willing to open the thing up in his kitchen to show me where it was. I've since glued the cracked board and repaired the...

    Hello, I bought a Technics SL-23 turntable, and it played fine when the guy connected it at the store.

    Loud, Low Hum When Marantz Turned On

    I have been using my Marantz 2240B for about two years now with little issue (all have been fixed). And today, which was just another morning for me to turn it on to listen to music while working, a loud, low-grade hum is coming from the speakers. Music still plays fine, but there is the hum on...

    Hum generated by CD Player

    I have a CAL DX1 CD player that generates a humming sound which comes through the speakers. The hum gets louder as I turn up the volume.

    Humming through speakers.

    So I have a humming coming through my speakers, doesn't adjust when I change the volume. The amp I'm using is a 70's Yamaha amp and only a turntable is hooked up to it. Now I figured out stops or the humming decreases when I touch the power strip. So I guess my question is there anything I...

    Pioneer A-8 hot transformer and humming.

    I got one of these a few months ago but only just got into using it this week but I've noticed that the transformer does hum noticeably and gets quite hot. Even when idling. Is this anything to worry about? The hum is from the transformer itself rather than the amp.
