    Pioneer SX-1500TD loose connection somewhere help

    Hello, I took a gamble on this receiver I found at the Goodwill. There are scuff marks, and it looks like it may have been dropped. I have a pair of CS-A700 currently hooked up to it. Basically, it powers on, and will work intermittently. When you put some pressure on the top of the place...

    Adding an Amp to a Receiver

    I have recently purchase a Sansui AU-517 to listen to vinyl and CD and finally power my loud speakers. This old integrated amp from the 1970's is wonderful. Now, I have a "gutless" Marantz SR5200 in my den upstairs. I purchased this receiver new in 2003/2004 for movies and music. I also...

    SANSUI G2000 Receiver right channel problem

    Hello, I've got a Sansui G2000 Receiver from my father in law. To put it on I had to replace some resistors. After more than one year working my receiver starts to show another problem.

    Looking for a good vintage stereo

    I am looking for some advice about getting an older integrated amplifier/receiver. I have ZERO knowledge and experience with older equipment. I have a 6.1 Marantz SR5200, but the sound is gutless in 2 channel stereo. I have purchased a new 7.2 Surround sound system (Denon) for my media...

    Hello Everybody, I scored a mint Sansui 8080db about 4 years ago and listened to it for a while on some Bose 301's series IV's and was very impressed, then stored it in my bedroom for the last 4 years waiting for some sort of Sansui speakers to go with it. Well...I just bought a pair of Sansui...

    KLH Model 24 Turntable - Receiver Repaired From No Power

    I have a KLH Model 24 I use in the basement to play my LPs while busy on other projects. I never used the built in amp or receiver, but rather used its Record output wired into the Aux input of another, more powerful receiver. One day, the unit did not power up. I found the 1/2 amp slo-blo...

    Sansui SM-80 Monster Amplifier from the 60's

    I'm going to be restoring a Sansui SM-80 that appears to be in all original condition and apparently was working when I bought it. I am just going through and lining up my first parts order but I was having trouble finding any schematics on the interweb. But low and behold Sansui included a...

    Marantz 8100DC Signal Meter

    Hi I purchased a Marantz 8100DC in very good shape. Can anyone confirm if the signal meter (lights up) works for the FM frequency? The signal meter (lights up) works for the AM frequency no problem. Thanks Del

    Surround Processor & separate amps

    What are peoples thoughts, experience, and/or recommendations on surround preamps/processors and separate power amps? I have 4 dual-mono power amps that I would really like to use in my theater setup. My reasoning is primarily because I would much rather replace the head unit when I want an...

    Seeking speaker wisdom

    Hello all, I realize this topic has been discussed before but I haven't quite found the exact answer I've been looking for. For the safety of myself and my gear, I turn to the wisdom of the internet. My sound system consists of a Yamaha RX-V381 driving two Klipsch RF-62II towers and...

    Quest: Nakamichi knobs for TA-4A receiver

    With social distancing in practice, I get to delve into audio projects! I have a Nakamichi TA-4A Stasis receiver in good shape overall, except that the bottom 3 knobs are in rough shape and I was thinking of a donor unit, maybe a slightly cheaper Nak receiver, to help with that. Shot in the...

    A 2330B rebuild

    I have this monster of a receiver on the bench now (still need to tidy up the clipping on the 1060, but it's pretty much good to go) and am preparing to tear into it. My goal is to replace all the electrolytics, set whatever levels need to be set for best performance within the pre and power...

    The $100 Hi-Fi

    Finally got this set up to a point I am pretty pleased with it. Acquiring a Stereo Cabinet has proven to be immensely difficult for some reason. So this little TV stand works for now (Now watch, I'll find one for like $5 at a Thrift store next week after spending all this time setting this up) I...

    Minimum distance between turntable and receiver?

    I am buying a third turntable today and I'm trying to figure out the best placement for it in my listening room. Right now I'm thinking of placing it directly to the right side of my Marantz 4415 receiver (using the Marantz's phono preamp). I thought that I had read somewhere that there should...

    I have an Bang & Olufsen RX TT and it had an MC 5 cartridge. It played vinyl but volume was soft but could be heard through the speakers. Sent cartridge off to be retipped to a nude MC 3. Installed and all I get is a hum which increases with volume. The ground is tight and the RX phono cables...

    8080 or Eight? Which, and why?

    If you could have just one, which would it be? Today I picked up an 8080 (not DB). It's in the same excellent condition that my Eight (not Deluxe) is. Neither are recapped. Soon I will be doing sonic comparisons, which I will share with the group. But for now I am just wondering which of these...

    Advice on testing a classic receiver before purchase?

    Receiver down? What's the best approach?

    Hey Folks, New to the forum. I've got a question, and I have a hunch ppl here will be able to help. My old Onkyo Quartz Synthesized Tuner Amp receiver's speaker output connections seem to have died/gone bad. For a little while, they'd work if I pushed on them, but then slowly fail. I've...
