    Pioneer SX-750 won't power on

    Hi everyone, I recently got a non-working Pioneer SX750 in a trade. I'm just starting to try and work on these things so please forgive some of my ignorance or lack of technical terms. The unit wouldn't power on at all when I got it. No relay clicks or anything. I took the bottom panel off...

    Vintage Samsung Receiver, left channel problems

    Hello All Just newly signed up to the Audio Karma forums but have been a long time reader. After a very long hiatus I got back into listening to vinyl about a year ago and have been loving every minute. It feels so good to dust off those old records and to experience brand new releases with the...

    Pioneer SX727 Preamp issue....

    Hi! I recently acquired a very clean SX727, really beautiful and with a nice soft sound. The previous owener had lovingly "restored" it but not really touched or adjusted it technically, reading between the lines. The SX727 sounds good, but as is so often, one channel is much stronger and...

    Kenwood KR 1400 Fair Asking Price

    Hello AK folks. I happened upon a Kenwood KR 1400 that functions perfectly and is very clean. Can I get some ideas on how much it might be worth? Also, I'm new here, so I apologize if this kind of question is frowned upon. Much appreciated, Ben

    Marantz 2226B

    hello all! What does the group feel the value of a Marantz 2226B would be in good cosmetic condition but with one channel out? (Right channel). I have attached a photograph of the actual unit. Is this a quality unit as well? ( as far as marantz go, I know they were all pretty good). Thank you...

    Tschnics SA-EX110 vs Onkyo TX-15

    Which would be better? I know, spec-wise the Onkyo looks to be better but it doesn't have as many inputs (I need one for a CD player too).

    Complete noob from Ontario, Canada

    Hi everyone! I'm 100% new to electronics, and don't even know the basics of a complete set-up. I know I love good music, and my Bose that my MIL got us for Christmas sounds nice, but that's...about it. I remember my Dad had a nice stereo when I was a kid and it was flippin' loud. Hitachi I...

    Holy crap, I've never seen a vintage receiver of this size in my lifetime as this is my first "BIG one." I paid a ridiculously small amount of money for it as well, especially considering the condition it's in. My question here is: is there really a point in holding onto this thing? Sure, it's...

    A little Rotel love: RX-802

    Picked up a stunning example of this (rather rare?) receiver. Not a tremendous amount of info out there, made between 1976-1981. Although technically not a "monster" at 50w/ch, it has monster dimensions - it's two feet wide. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this is one of...

    Best way to add a subwoofer without a sub out

    Hi everyone, I recently pick us a pair of Infinty Primus 250 speakers at my local SA. After putting new tweeters and x overs in them they sound great! On some records though I feel like I'm missing just a bit of low end extension and I'm interested in adding a subwoofer to my setup. I use a...

    Radio tuner dial clicking noise? [Kenwood KR-6050 Receiver]

    Recently when changing stations with the big dial on my Kenwood KR-6050 receiver, I noticed that the needle stopped at 98 and wouldn't go any lower. Along with that, a clicking noise would happen if you attempted to keep turning it below 98 and the needle would stay still. Upon opening up the...

    Pioneer RX-511 Stereo Casette Tape Deck Receiver won't play tapes.

    I'm going to assume that this is a common problem with Pioneer's RX line of dual tape deck/receiver combos, because I've seen this problem mentioned with others from the line. However, that's all I'm seeing: Problems mentioned, but no solutions. I've checked inside. The belts are slightly worn...

    Sansui G2000 smoking transistor

    The D313 transistor connected to the heatspreader towards the back smokes and sizzles whenever I power the receiver on. I looked at it closely, and the 3 pins are mostly blackened. Aside from the smoke, the lights turn on and it does tune for a split second before I quickly power it off. All...

    Technics 205 Receiver problem
