Hello everyone, I have been enjoying collecting records and gear for the past year now since I ventured into this hobby, but one thing I am still not familiar with is cartridge loading. I have learned a lot since I started but would appreciate a simple lesson on cartridge loading. I see it...

Not really sure if this is the best place to pose the question or not, but I’m considering moving on from my Sony combo into a receiver. Any thoughts on where to go next? Open to suggestions on receiver and speaker pairs as well. Current setup is the referenced Sony pair, AR XA turntable and...

Hello all. I have been in the market to buy a vintage receiver. I have been watching craigslist and there typically have not been a lot of receivers for sale or when they are posted up for sale they seem to be out of my cheapskate price range. There has been a recent influx of nice looking...

This is not a very common system. But we had this Sony STR-DE945 from 2001. About a few years after getting it, the system would no longer power up if you press the power button. The remote that it came with was the only way to power it up, but after a year of only using it. It too gave the...

I picked up an HK 330B that I LOVE. I'm running my KHL Model sixes thru it and it sounds great. After some different reading on the net here and their, I got worried thinking maybe that I'm underpowering the speakers and causing damage... Anybody's thoughts on this? Is a Harmon Kardon 330...

I just recently got a Tecnics SU-V76 receiver from a flea market. It is in very nice shape, though I haven’t had a chance to test it yet, as I’m still waiting for a cartridge for my turntable and the matching tuner is on order (arriving today). I was wondering what others thought about this...

Hi, everyone. I decided to start an account here because I'd find myself here anyway when I would search for audio advice online. But see here's the thing guys/gals... I work at a record store and repair shop. The owner is a cool guy but the tech is reluctant... excuse me, refusing to teach me...

So I have been offered a sansui stack consisting of a b-55, c-77, and t-5 for 40 bucks. Don't really want to take it if its not worth it. I would use in in place of my 10 year old cheap Sony STR-DH100 powering my two KLH model 5s (8 Ohms and i think 80 Watts). I am anything but an audiophile...

Hello to All! I am looking for your advice, if you would so kindly take the time. I have a HK730 receiver rated at 40 wpc and a few others in my collection of equal or less power. The 730 is my favorite and everyday player with a few different speakers I interchange( Altec Santana, Large...

Picked up a Sansui 551 recently to add to the growing collection, mainly because I have had so much service and enjoyment from my 221. However it quickly became apparent that there was a problem with the left channel, with very noticeable distortion when playing from any source, but not through...

Hi everybody: Greetings from Warsaw, Poland. Hope you can help me or give me some guidelines. I start by saying that I always wanted to have a Marantz since I was at college (long time ago) but at that time couldn't afford it. Now I'm decided. Here in Warsaw there are some offers, basically on...

I have a HK-3485 receiver which was working great at my old house. I recently moved into a new place and whenever the receiver was playing loud music, the receiver would turn off and display "safety mode". Recently, the receiver will turn on, but will not play any sound. I had it plugged into...

College student who finally got his own apartment! Don't have the most to spend but don't mind used! Looking for something with phono output for a future turntable! Its a small apartment (1 bed room in the city) any recommendations would be great!

Need extra inputs on my receiver. I found a number of RCA switch boxes, but they're pretty ugly. Is there anything that looks like a stereo component and doesn't cost a fortune?

Hello, I'm new, this is my first thread, so I hope I do this right. I'm 66, an old musician familiar with tube amps, and I'm working on a NAD 7140 receiver with no sound. I've heard great things about this forum and NAD gear, and I've already followed some suggestions for trouble shooting and...
