    Sansui AU-7500 Phono Woes – sounds like a wool blanket over the speakers!

    [EDIT: It is a Sansui AU-7500, not -6500 ... d'oh!] Hello everyone, I'm hitting my head against the wall here with my AU-6500. Would love some help or advice. I bought the amp a few years ago and had it given a once-over (bias, recapped out-of-spec caps, cleaned) by a friend who did a good...

    Hello All, I wanted to share this with you for your advice. I have had a marantz 2220B for 6 months and just loving it.

    A bit in over my head - Need help building a 2.1 setup

    I have an H/K 330B receiver and a turntable (does not have a preamp). Because of this I plan to be using the phono input which to my understanding will utilize the receiver’s preamp. I plan to get tower speakers and a subwoofer but because there’s no subwoofer output I’m not sure what my...

    Sx750 screwed up

    Hi guys, I came here looking for help. I am attempting to recap my sx750 with very little experience. I redid the awk-065 boards and now my phono input does not work and has a loud static noise when I adjust the volume. So I noticed that I accidentally put a 1845 in The q4 location after I had...

    Sony STR-6036A phono channels go in and out

    I have a Sony STR-6036a that I've had a for a few years now, and after having sprayed the pots numerous times, I can't seem to get the phono input to consistently play from both channels. All the other inputs / radio doesn't seem to have a problem. Switching the power switch on/off while the...

    Yamaha C-1 and Denon DL-103R

    C-1 Manual indicates a sensitivity of 2~8 mV "switched" on phono inputs 1-3. This MC cart is rated at 0.25 mV. Seeking input about an appropriate step-up transformer, if required. Apologies if this belongs to the phono forum.

    Stereo receiver, Onkyo

    I needed a replacement for my 1982 Technics receiver, as one of the speaker plugs is dead and no sound emits from any speaker plugged into it. I ordered an Onkyo 8220 and it arrived yesterday. Sooooo disappointed. It's gigantic and takes up too much space. Haven't even bothered to set it up...

    CR-800 Ph-oh-no!

    In my quest to cure a noisy RIAA stage, I did discover a fractured joint at D401 on the so-called EQ Sheet. (PITA to get to, mind!) Now, in this case, somebody before me had fitted a 330R, 5W resistor in the supply line - non-original and not shown on the schematic. Off-load the supply does...

    dumb question about phono input

    Holiday greetings everyone. I have several integrated amps from the late 70's and would like to hook up a CD player, a Tuner, and an external DAC for streaming. All of my integrated amps have AUX, Tuner, and Phono as inputs. Would it be harmful to the integrated amp to hook up the CD or DAC...
