    The horror of mono in stereo demonstrated

    Unless you have a dedicated mono cartridge, your vinyl playback system needs a switch somewhere to combine left and right channels into one. Here's why. mono vinyl played as if stereo (YUK): http://bit.ly/monoinstereo mono vinyl played in mono (AHH): http://bit.ly/monoinmono

    Switching Stereo to Mono if No Option on Receiver

    I just purchased a Kenwood KR-1400, and noticed that there is no way to switch from stereo to mono. Anyone know of how to trouble shoot this? I run my cheap audio technica lp-60 through the receiver and would like the option to play the audio in mono. (I often point one of the speakers into the...

    Kenwood L-07M Vs L-07MII

    Hey all! I've been a happy user of a pair of L-07M monoblocks for the past couple of years. I've had them completely restored and I'm in love with the sound; Honestly better than any other amplifier I have heard, no matter the price. I recently bought a pair of Mk2's on eBay because of a tip...

    Magnavox Berkshire Schematic

    Hey everyone, picked up this nice Magnavox Berkshire last night for $45 bucks, they were asking 60 but the radio didn't work as they said. I was worried about the transformers being bad and my fears came true today when I did a voltage test, the high voltage winding is bad. The speakers and...

    Harman Kardon PM650 Broken/Dodgy Balance Control

    The Balance on my Harman Kardon PM650 doesn't work. Mono works through both speakers. Stereo only works through Left channel. Reverse setting on the dial works but swaps it to the Right Channel, with Left (which should be swapped to Right, still not working. No sound.) Stereo doesn't...

    Pet Sounds 45rpm

    Hi Everybody, I know a new Pet Sounds thread is like beating a dead horse, but I'm wondering what experience people are having with the new (August 2017) 2x 45rpm issue from Analogue Productions. I'm pretty familiar with the previous Pet Sounds vinyl, including Kevin Gray's previous 33 version...

    Single Speaker Mono Setup on Stereo System

    Hello, I'm looking to setup my system for single speaker mono listening. The components are pretty straightforward: turntable, integrated receiver (stereo only), one speaker. My plan is to run the TT into one channel of the amp via Y cable, then run one speaker cable out of the same channel...

    DIY MONO CENTER CHANNEL — ADVICE?

    I'm strictly a two-channel stereo guy... though it could change. (It's ironic, I'm a film-maker but have no interest in home theater, so I don't have multi-channel amps.) I'd like to add a mono center channel for Music, but must do it using two-channel amps/ preamps. Stereo had a big problem...

    Mixing stereo down to mono with a dual-triode

    For Christmas, I got my son a 2-tube regenerative radio kit and we've been having a lot of fun putting it together (slowly over the course of many evenings :-) ). His birthday is coming up, and I thought it would be fun to build a little transmitter to go with it so he can listen to something...

    Mono amp 33V at speaker terminal!

    I have this little kit amplifier that I blew up some years ago and I've been trying to repair it. So far so good - I got the schematic out and found a lot of damamged or blown components which I have replaced. One of the 0.47R resistors had blown so I have replaced that, along with the outputs...
