    Pioneer SX-1980 low hum

    -- Hi. I have a Pioneer SX-1980 with a low hum after a power failure. I was told to change the four 22,000/100V filter capacitors. I have never change anything before since 1990. When I opened it I found a loose black cable. See pictures. Can it be making the hum or do i need to change the...

    Pioneer SX-1250 Pre-amp Jumper Problem

    I have a very nice SX-1250 that was restored by @mattsd, however of late the unit drops the left channel, and can only be remedied by touching both pre-amp jumpers, which generates a loud hum. I have appealed to @mattsd for help or suggestions, but he has chosen to ignore me. Any help or...

    Pioneer SX-580 audio issue

    Recently I was passed down a 580 that’s been sitting in a closet for I don’t know how long. Cosmetically it looks great, I’m not much of a electronics expert unless you’re talking cars. Anyhow the issue, it powers on lights up and all, however the volume (both channels) is super quiet, with that...

    Vintage Pioneer CS-33A woofer replacement

    The woofer is gone in one of my vintage Pioneer CS-33a speakers. I isolated it and tested it with the multimeter and I get a reading of 0.3 ohms. Does anyone have a suggestion for replacing this woofer? I found a vintage woofer on eBay for a CS-33 but not sure if that would work, it’s definitely...

    Pioneer SX-9000 - Pricing/worth it?

    Hi all! I currently have a Marantz 2220b that needs a total refurbishment. The cost to refurb at this point (per a few conversations with some audio repair shops here in Chicago) is seeming to outweigh the worth of the receiver as a whole. I came across a Pioneer SX-9000 in Madison, WI that...

    Re-Foaming some DSS-E6’s Question regarding the grills

    Hi all, I recently purchased a set of Pioneer DSS-E6’s that need the woofers re-foamed. I have new foam on the way from Simply Speakers. Has anyone had experience with these speakers? I am curious as to how I will have to tackle getting the grills off. They appear to be sealed to the...

    Pioneer SDR-05 CD recorder. Reporting how I make it works, at least for now.

    Hello friends, Recently I found this beauty on a local second hand electronics, the state was "not working" and after some talking with the owner, he was sick of trying to make it works, he gave it to me for around 30 USD. I did the research before and knew this was probably a good piece, some...

    Hi everyone! I need some advice about which pioneer speakers are better than the other. I have the chance to buy either of the pairs both priced around $300. I'm new to Hi-Fi gear and am clueless at the moment about which speakers would be better but I'm trying to stick with all pioneer...

    Loud hum from speakers while in phono - what am I doing wrong?

    I’m experiencing loud, bass-y hum from my speakers when turned to phono on my receiver, even with the volume low. It’s an old Pioneer PL-15D II turntable. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. I’ve got everything hooked up correctly, but the GND post on my receiver (an SX- 580) is rusty. The...

    Pioneer SX6

    I recently acquired a pioneer sx 6 receiver from a friend's dad who'd had it in storage since '89. It has a fairly loud hiss through both channels on all inputs. However, if you turn the treble down, the hiss goes down with it. Any ideas? Thank you for your time!

    Pioneer PL-550X

    I just bought a used Pioneer PL-550X turntable in almost mint condition and everything works great aside from the anti skate feature. I have messed with it quite a bit with no luck. I decided to look inside to see if something had been disconnected or it maybe had a worn spring and when I did I...

    Pioneer PD-5010 not reading disk

    I picked up this absolute beast of a CDP at a local Goodwill the other day and the tray mech works great, everything looks really clean. The laser head moves like it should but the disk doesn't spin at all. Sometimes when I turn it off with a disk in it the motor will spin a little so I think...

    Problems with Pioneer CT-540

    I recently acquired a Pioneer CT-540 cassette deck, and it has a few problems. When in the play mode, the reel on the right won't move. It also won't rewind or fast forward. I do have an idea as to what the problem is, and it has to do with an idler wheel that pushes up against the reels. The...

    SX-1250 Tuner Board Refresh Worth Doing

    I recently did a full restoration on my 1250 sans tuner board. The bill of materials I used does not cover the tuner board, and I understand a lot of folks are reluctant to mess with the tuner. I understand, and I would have left it alone without any further thought if I didn’t have an FM tuner...

    PL L1000 Tonearm

    Well suddenly the tonearm of my PL L1000 won't lift until it scrapes the edge of the paper label. It drops where it's supposed to.......... I have the service manual, it references the use of an oscilliscope, taking it apart etc. I don't have a scope. Is there another way?
