    Pretty Happy With My Recent Find - Sherwood S-7200

    Came across this beauty at a Habitat for Humanity the other day for only $20. It was clean enough I could see it was in good shape and they said it worked and had a short warranty period. My buddy has one and has all the original documents with it that I can reference and let me know about the...

    Bizarre mini stereo receiver - Electro-Brand 9700??

    Recently I had been looking for a small-footprint receiver and bookshelf speakers for my garage. A guy at my work has an Optimus STA-20 mini receiver for his desk; only 5 WPC which obviously isn't very impressive, but the physical size was what I was after. And after searching for months I...

    Modding the Harman Kardon 730 phono stage

    About a year ago I bought a sweet little HK730 receiver from a beloved HK'er in the Bay Area, @sberger. After some routine cleaning and maintenance, which included upgrading the power supply and sub-rectifier capacitors, the unit sounded really sweet. It also looks quite spiffy: The tuner...

    JVC RS-33 Sound Cuts Out - Need Help for Design Flaw

    Good day, All. I purchased a JVC RS-33 receiver back when they first came out and loved the sound, in addition to the handsome design. The problem with the unit I had was that the speaker protection circuit (I believe) would cause the sound to cut out intermittently. The same relay click that...

    Luxman R-1050 Keeps Going into Protection Mode?

    It's weird, it's the best sounding receiver I've ever owned. Makes my SA-7500MkII sound like childs play. It will randomly go into protection, popping the speakers and then come out. Sometimes it will stay in protection for quite sometime, sometimes it will not go into protection at all after...

    Any HD Radio ready receivers that you recommend?

    For what ever reason, it's not easy to get a straight answer in a Google search on receivers that are HD Radio (tuning) ready. Out here in L.A., the better music channels are the .2, .3, etc off off the base .1 station. All the spec pages from the OEMs are terrible at clearly listing if it's...

    Yamaha CR-220 sound dies after a few seconds of sound - Please Help!

    As the title says... The amp turns on and plays music just fine for about 5 seconds, then the sound fizzles out and eventually stops entirely (takes about a second). My DBT doesn't register any shorts, and the same phenomenon occurs no matter what input is used. An important (I think)...
