problem

I bought a Sony PS-LX250H turntable for my roommate. When we hooked up the turntable, we noticed after playing a couple of LPs that it was running slowly and heard some wow and flutter. I ordered a belt replacement and dialed in the 33RPM speed adjustment until the speed was perfect (according...

Hi everyone Got a used Krell KST-100 a few days ago that was playing fine when I listened to it before I bought it. I connected it today to a digital DAC with premplifier output. I turned the Krell on. Played for about 10 minutes. Then the home circuit breaker went off. When I reset the...

Hi! I'm having some issues with my 8-track player. It plays just fine but the program switch (which just shorts to ground and is supposed to switch a coil and activates a mechanical switch to move the tape head into the next position) and lights to show which program is on stopped working all...

Hi All - I'm new to the group and just got (for free) a Velodyne ULD-15 Subwoofer Series II that has no foam. It was posted (from the daughter of the original owner) a properly working when put into storage 4 years ago and other than the foam looks in mint condition (beautiful cabinet and amp...

Hi everyone My late dad left me his Thorens TD165 and I have been using it for the past 5 years or so. It has a Pickering v-15 micro IV. Since I've been using it the sound has been never crystal-clear, but it was quite decent and reliable nonetheless. Until one afternoon a couple of days ago...

Hey I'm facing this problem with my SX-828. No matter of volume, input source. There are sometimes really loud popping sounds into right channel. It's very sporadic issue. One time, receiver was working fine for a week, every day playing for 3 - 4 hours without issues. But then popping...

hi there. have a JVC XL-v161 CD player that I haven't used for a while because normally I preferred Vinyl's or tapes and it wasn't till recently I started buying more CD's. I went in to give it a listen the other day, and now the vocals of a song sound so far away and reverbed, like im hearing...

Dear friends, There is a defect in my Teac A-3300SX: 100 kHz in the left channel on the line output. The monitor is in Tape mode, Record is on, the VU meter in the left channel is deflected to the left and can be changed with the Output knob. I've been trying to locate the problem for a long...

I have a vintage Toshiba surround receiver, it sounds amazing and im very happy with it. I have my tv running through it via a DAC (optical to analog) when doing anything on the tv other than listening to music on Spotify the audio signal is pure abrasive static. I cant imagine why this would be...

I have a Denon POA-6600 on my bench that is stuck in protection mode. I have replaced som components that was short. Relays klick in and everything seems fine but red light flashing. When I try to set idle current (VR501 is replaced) nothing happens but after some time turning on it TR514 starts...

Hello, everyone, I got myself a good old X-10R in fair condition but in needs of a good restoration. I already solved tape tension problem by installing a brand new Teac oem belt (thanks to those that pointed the belt problem, as this model is really finicky in this regard), cleaned everything...

Hi! I have been restoring vintage KLH speakers for a few months now. I found a free pair of Boston Acoustics A200s that needed some foam surrounds. Loving the Kloss sound, I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, I replaced the surrounds. First time. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I replaced the...

Hello! Been a long time lurker on here but finally encountered a problem I cannot seem to fix! Lets start at the basics: When I first bought this amp one channel was out. Fixed the channel but noticed that the DC Offset would not stabilize but the Idle current for both channels is a steady...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a broken Technics SL-V5 turntable hoping I would be able to repair it. It turned out to be more difficult that anticipated. When you turn the device on the disk size and tonearm indicator lights turn on. The tonearm itself doesn't slide to the start position...

Dear All, First of all I want to wish to everyone Happy New Year fulfilled with health and happiness! For the holidays finally I managed to get one set of dreamed: Yamaha C-4 and M-4. The condition of both units is not mint but it is also not bad at all. My whole setup now is: PC -> USB DAC...

Hi guys! I really love my Dual 704. Sounds great and it's really reliable. There's one thing though that's bothering me and it's that cracking noise when I move the tonearm into the starting position. I opened it up and put some contact cleaner onto the switch that's released when the tonearm...

Hi Felt like the luckiest guy on the planet, got hold of a very nice TA-1120, the original without the headphone jack. With a original, also nice wooden box and pristine faceplate. I guess it has been a problemchild, since the power amp was bypassed, and previous owner tried to use it as a pre...

Hi! My Pioneer SA-706 is acting quite weird. Sometimes it doesn't turn on at all (no lamps or anything works). Then after playing around with some switches (like the tape monitor) it's coming on and working perfectly. First the lights come on and then the relay switches on too. Sometimes it...

Hello everyone, I bought a SONY PS-LX55 automatic turntable in very good external condition a few months ago. I changed the cartridge. It worked very well for 3 months, until a problem appeared. The sound cuts off after a few minutes (it's never the same length of time) of vinyl playback, the...

I am not the best with electronics so pardon my inexperience. I recently obtained a Technics CD player which was used in the music room of a retirement home for a couple years. It powers up, the laser moves, but it does not detect any discs, no spinning. Inside the dock, there's this blue gunk...

Okay, so I'm new to both vintage audio and forums. here's hoping one of you geniuses might be able to help me. About a month and a half ago I got my Kenwood Kr-7400 professionally cleaned and repaired from a dismal state. worked just fine, though all of a sudden all inputs (Phono, Phono 2, FM...
