Hey there! I’m fairly new to (but still not too versed with) the world of Hifi, yet I’m slowly building my system. So far I’ve purchased a used Russco Fidelity Pro phono preamp that I don’t know much about except that it was designed for broadcast and has very low noise, apparently a decent fit...
Hi All,
I am working on a Sansui QRX-7001. It sounds amazing, and it is a great piece of equipment. I replaced the festoon lights with LEDs, calibrated AM/FM radio, output transistors bias and replaced a few components.
However, I have stumbled upon a phono issue. It is simply not producing a...
Hi
I am considering purchasing the ear phono classic however based on commemts by reviewer Larry Cox at positive feedback I am doubting if I should get it:
“Bass was perhaps a little overfull, perhaps a bit indistinct, leading some to assert it sounded a bit slow.”
“Do you want the airiest...
Hi, new to the forum and new to turntables...so if I don't sound like I know what I'm talking about...I don't. With that said I have two hopefully easy questions. I recently acquired an AT-LPW40WN turntable, Kanto YU6 speakers, and Kanto Sub8 subwoofer.
I see that both the turntable and...
Hey! So I’m new into this world and I was looking into buying a TT, my first option was the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo, but after reading so much negative opinions about it in this place (I still having read a solid opinion on why is a bad TT) I decided to look at other options.
To put into...
Just recently acquired a Cambridge Audio AXR85 integrated receiver to pair with my p3. Wondering how much difference a separate phono would make as opposed to the one built in the Cambridge? I'm looking at something not too expensive like the Schiit mani 2
New member here and wanted to have some needed input on a phono amp selection.
The phono amp will go between a Technic SL1200G and a Passl Labs Line Stage (legacy) and a fairlynew Pass Labs XA25 to Zu Soul Sumpremes. Room is 20 foot by 40ish feet and I listen 10-12 feet away, or exercise with...
Hello, recently I have bought a Pioneer SA 3000, the power amp work fine, but the Phono board is out.
The Phono board uses 3 pairs of transistor 2Sa978; 2SC1919 2SA912.
2SA978 seem to be ok because the voltage at the base and emitter are in the specs.
All others voltage are out of spec.
I...
I am the original owner of a HK PM 655 Vxi. Love the amp. Recently no output at all from the phono input (I only use MM) I was using compressed air and gave a shot to the stylus; I think the amp was powered on but speakers were off, and the problem seems to have happened near that time, but I'm...
Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum and might have missed something on this in my searches, in spite of trying. Hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction here
I found two D150a power amps and an IC150a, still in original boxes and in great shape, having been stored since the 80's sometime...
Hi there! :)
I think this can be fun, as well as useful It's a blind test I've published.
Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 vs. Pro-Ject Phono Box RS.
Which is your favourite? Tomorrow I'll unveil which is which. Preamp B is in the lead so far
