    Replacing transistors in 2226B

    Hi! Im looking to replace the transistors in my 2226B, that has a lot of popping and noise in the left channel. After switching the pre-out/main-in, the noise switches to the right channel, so it has to be in the pre-amp board I guess. As stated in a previous tread, all the knobs on the front...

    Marantz 2238b No bass/mids on Right Channel

    I recently acquired a very clean Marantz 2238b. It was recapped a few years ago, cleaned, and the bulbs were swapped with LEDs. The work was performed at a professional shop here in the midwest (at the request of the prior owner). The left channel works perfectly. The right channel has great...

    Connecting a Preamp to Multi-Channel Analog Inputs?

    I have a late 1990's Onkyo Integra DTR-5 AVR that has quite a few features that I love (even compared with modern replacements), and it has no problem driving most of the speakers that I own. I'm no longer using it in my primary home theater setup, but I was hoping to keep it and use it as a...

    "Do turntables sound different" comparison video

    We primarily are listening to cartridges at this price point, many say, and I was wondering how true that is. I put a ton of work into my latest YouTube video where I shootout two similar vintage turntables and see what's different: Technics SL-D2 & Kenwood KD-3070 Let me know what you think...

    Time machine

    Mostly mid-'70s stuff. I like the warm sounds -- and the cool lamps. Sometimes I'll just turn everything on and lower the room lights, whether I'm listening or watching a movie. They make for lovely, soothing (if relatively expensive) nightlights. Anyway, this is the kind of stereo showroom...
