    Marantz Integrated Amp PM-68 Crackling Left Only (Both Channels)

    My 18 year old Marantz PM-68 recently started giving off a crackling distorting noise. By swapping and disconnecting speakers I isolated it to the Left side on both Channels (i.e. Systems 1 and 2). If I turn the balance all the way to the right or/and disconnect the left speakers then the...

    Integrated Amp w/Great Phono Pre

    Hi all -- I currently have a Scott 299 (A) and love the tube warmth, however, I'm looking to change things up a bit (its phono has been troublesome on occasion as well).

    Optonica SM4646 Rebuild

    I just discovered that an amp I gave to my daughter a few years back is actually quite a gem. It is an Optonica SM4646. Optonica was high end to Sharp like Technics was high end to Panasonic. The SM4646, it turns out, was Optonica's top of the line amp for about 1976/77. Optonica brand did not...

    Belles Aria or Krell S-3001

    I heard the Belles Aria integrated (not with my speakers) and really liked it. Like is not equal to love; but close and I bet it sounds better with my speakers. I'm seriously considering buying it from a brick & mortar; although it's about twice my original budget at $1,900 (+7% in NJ). No...

    Yamaha A1 integrated amp (phono issue)

    Hello, I just purchased a Yamaha A1 integrated amp. While the line stages sound great I'm noticing some problems in the phono stage. 1. The gain levels to achieve slightly loud sound output means I am turning the knob past 12 o'clock each time. (High output MM cart used). I have efficient...

    Sony TA-1150 Build Thread

    So normally I work on Marantz, Pioneer & Sansui gear but this little integrated has good looks and came at a good price so what the heck. There's not a lot of information out there on this amp so I thought I would contribute what I can by documenting the boards as I work through it. First...

    Hello Folks, I am wanting to do a rebuild on a Technics SU-8077 amp that I picked up for cheap, which will educate me on doing this kind of work. I am hoping that this process will prepare me for my ultimate goal of re-building my real amp, which is the SU-8088. Do you folks have any...

    Problems with my NAD C356BEE integrated amp

    I was looking to improve on my Yamaha RX-797 receiver, in my 2-channel system. It had to be remote controllable and be able to handle my efficient but power-loving Klipsch Epic CF-4s. Always a fan of NAD, I thought one of their integrated amps would do the trick. I nearly pulled the trigger on a...
