    Pioneer SX-880 DC Offset High

    Hello, all I have a Pioneer SX-880 on the bench that is exhibiting high negative DC offset. The receiver originally had two blown 1-amp fuses: FU2 & FU3 (I chuckle whenever I see FU2). I found D26 shorted, as well as Q29 & Q30 with shorted junctions. All were replaced with correct modern...

    Ortofon MCA-76 LOMC Compatibility

    Good morning friends, Last week, I purchased a Rotel RP900 with a beautiful Sumiko Talisman S cartridge. Since my SX-880 lacks a MC phono input, and I rather like my Pioneer’s phono stage, I decided the best move would be a step-up transformer or head amp device to increase my cartridges...

    Pioneer SX-880 AM dead

    I’ve recently acquired an 890, and it works well apart from the AM radio. Which is completely dead. FM works but needs realignment. Is there anything obvious that might be at fault here? Planning to recap it at some point but I haven’t done anything so far other than cleaning it up and treating...
