    Accurate cartridge and stylus info for JVC AL-E31BK?

    So I found conflicting information on this turntable I have and I'm hoping someone can share more precise information. The JVC AL-E31BK has a proprietary (I think) p-mount style (I think) cartridge with a single top screw. The manual states the cartridge is an AT3600LAF and the stylus is DT-60...

    JVC A-X9

    Hi, I am working on a nice JVC A-X9.. The right channel very randomly produces a popping noise.. It could go hours without it, and suddenly, a few minutes with popping noises. I narrowed it down to the pre-amp. Before I start replacing some transistors, I was wondering if anybody out there has...

    JVC AX-435 vs Yamaha AX-470

    I'm trying to decide which among these two amps is better. The JVC is part of the Super-A series, so I know that it's a Class-A amplifier. On the other hand, I cannot find much info regarding the Yamaha. In your opinion which is the better amp?

    JVC AX-R97: Fuses Blowing after changing burned resistors

    I changed out the resistors on the spreadsheet, and now im blowing fuses. I know I used the ones to spec from the service manual, so now I'm not sure what to do. I believe R803 may be the culprit for some reason, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advice would be appreciated.
