Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with my Marantz SR5003 and could really use some help.
A while ago, the amplifier started making a loud humming noise, so I stopped using it and left it unused for about 2 years. Recently, I decided to repair it and replaced the power amplifier...
Hi
I've received as a gift a turntable from my children.
My amps is a Onkyo NR474 not really a musical amps and doesn't have a PHONO input.
So I brought a PHONO pre-amp FOSI BOX-X4 with tube
I connect the pre-amp to CD or PC input in the amp and connect the turntable to the pre-amp so far so...
Hello,
I have a Sansui G-2000 receiver. When I turn it on, I can hear a static noise coming from the right channel. The left one seems fine. This noise doesn't change even when I switch the input selector, volume, and balance. Could someone help me? Could it be an issue with the transistors? I...
Hello everyone. I got a Yamaha CDX-550E here that works fine, but in quiet passages of music that sounds like "tch tch tch tch", kinda in the speed of the CD spinning. I thought it might be the spindle-motor, being noisy, so i put a ceramic-capacitor across it, 0.1µF, i think. Maybe i should...
I got myself a 2270 in pretty decent shape a couple of weeks ago, dead quiet at full volume when no input signal present, with only a couple of burnt bulbs. Unfortunately I couldn't resist the urge and went into fixing the lights, then continued by replacing all the electrolytic caps on the P800...
Lads and Gentlemen,
I'd really appreciate your advice. So, I have a Dual CS 2235Q direct drive record player, which has EDS 910 motor, as shown in the pictures. So, I sometimes have louder and sometimes quieter problem with a buzzing noise, although buzzing sounds are always repeating per...
I have just been given an Akai 4000DB that hasn't been used in at least a decade, and the take-up reel makes a whirring noise while rotating (the supply reel does not). The sound continues if I stop the platter with my hand (which is quite easy to do, and bounds easier than it is for the supply...
Hey guys, I’m having an issue and I wanted to know if anyone could possibly help me! I bought a beautiful model 20. It’s in great shape. It is the FM/a.m. model. It was working perfect for maybe 3 to 4 records worth of listening. Then all the sudden, I start hearing a light Rubbing or grinding...
Hello...I have been building my system over the past couple years based upon advice from all the knowledgeable folks on Audiokarma forums and need some help/advice...I am experiencing/hearing what I call distortion in the vocals of alot of the music I listen to, which is mainly rock from 70's...
I've been on the prowl for one of these for a while and finally scored a good condition one, but in the last week it's developed a really odd high-pitched tone that I'm having trouble tracking down - so I'm reaching out to the community for troubleshooting ideas.
here's what I've been able to...
Strong 50Hz (mains) Hum with Harmonics coming from Right Channel Only by NicholasD posted Jul 20, 2018 at 12:53 PM
So I have this old(ish) AKAI AM-35 AMP that I am quite fond of & there is a solid 50Hz HUM coming from the Right Channel of it. This occurs with no inputs connected. So...
Hi!
r1sc here; long time lurker, first time poster!
I have a Superscope R-1220 that's been in my familys posession since my father purchased it in 1970-something. I don't think he ever had it brought in for any maintenance.
I took it apart and cleaned the pots and selector switch with PRF 7-78...
Hello,
I love this site - never buy anything without reading the opinions of member here first. Thank you.
My beloved Sansui 7070 developed some unusual noises this year:
- Alien-like electronic sound
- Intermittent - every few
- Very quiet (have to listen for it or be in a quiet room)
- Not...
OK. I've got a Marantz 4430 Quad.
Played it today and it sounded great, four speakers - two front, two rear, all 8 ohm, all on the "main" bank, none "remote." Strong and clear, but as the day wore on I noticed distortion/weakness in the left channel. I've cleaned all the controls and will...
My 2265, totally recapped and flawlessly working for the last 10 years, suddenly started to make like pink noise, more concentrated on the right channel, sometime louder sometimes lower but not related to the volume level.
Also AFTER deoxing each pot everything worked fine, then after 3 hours...
