    I have a low frequency, very high amplitude “rumble” (below human hearing) happening in my setup. It pulses a couple of times a second roughly. So far I have changed out every single component in my system and the problem persists. If I play a record long enough it starts to double and triple...

    A few months ago I was driving down my street and saw a bunch of stuff set out on the curb, as I passed by I saw the gleam of a few tubes catch the sun, my heart skipped a beat and I immediately slammed on the brakes! Turns out the guy down the street had ripped a Nutone 2400 intercom system...

    New project: Empire 398

    A nice 398 came up recently on a local Craigslist site, and after waffling over whether or not I needed another turntable for a few days - you already have a perfectly good hot-rodded Thorens!- I bit the bullet and picked it up. No regrets at all after doing so. Turns out to be a 398, equipped...

    Pioneer PL-50 vs a new Project X1 or X2

    Interested in a Pioneer PL - 50 turntable. It would be restored. Do you think this would be a better option than the Project tables I mentioned? Or, would you recommend the Pioneer What would be a good midrange cartridge for both options? thanks

    I got a Project One Tape Deck a while back. It's in great condition physically, and works as it should except I'm only getting sound out of one channel. Just curious what some of the common issues that may cause this, as well as what particular components I should test? Thanks in advance .
