    About to Replace the Capacitors on a Technics SA-202 Receiver, Questions About the Tuner Stage

    So, after catching the re-cap bug from doing my Onkyo A-7070 (holy crap, what an improvement!), next on the surgery table is my Technics SA-202. The Technics, though, has a tuner section, and that is where my trepidation begins. I have heard conflicting reports that replacing caps in tuner...

    Sacrifice quality for vintage aesthetic?

    I have a Harman Kardon HK385i and it has pretty good specs from what I can tell, total harmonic distortion %.09 and SNR 80dB. I love the way it sounds, but I have always wanted a receiver that looks like the vintage type (vu meters, silver face, switches, wood grain, etc). Would I have to...

    AVR Receiver wattage, why so weak these days and only 2 channels driven instead of each channel?

    I own a pair of Polk LSI25s and a Polk LSIM4 center. I purchased an Onkyo 676 thinking it would be able to drive the 3.1 system decently. Then of course i read the fine print. (210 watts at 1 channel driven) (110 watts at 2 channels driven). At $500, you'd think this receiver would be able to...
