    Noisy platter/speed issue after Garrard SL 72b repair.

    I just returned home after picking up my Garrard SL 72b from the repair shop. I immediately hooked it up and noticed a clinking sound when the platter is spinning which is throwing the speed off. This is the first suspended turntable that I have owned. The Garrard is new to me so I am not...

    Sony STR-DE945 - No power issue.

    This is not a very common system. But we had this Sony STR-DE945 from 2001. About a few years after getting it, the system would no longer power up if you press the power button. The remote that it came with was the only way to power it up, but after a year of only using it. It too gave the...

    Hi, all! I have previously posted about some issues I have been having with my Marantz SD 9000. I have replaced the notoriously bad optocouplers, and all belts and idler tires. What I neglected to notice were the burnt out resistors on the PK21 board of the machine. I purchased and replaced...

    MK5 pitch light issue

    I purchased an MK5, but I think I realized a new problem with it. When you adjust the pitch slider to zero, should the green light illuminate? It will light up when the reset button is pressed, but the light stays off when the slider itself is zero... is this normal operation?
