    Asking about a Harman Kardon Stratophonic SA2000

    Good morning and hello! I’m new to AK and relatively new to the world of vintage audio. I got started in home theater equipment about a year or so ago and delved into vintage in the past half a year thanks to some Bose 301 IIIs given to me by a professor. I’ve done some simple repairs before...

    Fisher RS 1022 revival

    In December of last year, I spent a few nights at my grandmother's house and remembered she had an old stereo in her garage I saw a few years ago (before I was into audio).

    PS Audio GCA 100 - What is there to know?

    Hi Everyone, Until recently I had a PS Audio HCA 2 - while a little noisy at idle I loved what it did for the music. That is until the right channel kept on going out and needed to be fixed. After three attempts my local technician gave up and it was sold for parts. I swoped in a B&K ST 202 -...

    Decision between CA azur 851w and Parasound A23+ for low volume

    I plan to replace my current amp (Denon pma 600ne) with one of the two amps in the title because I no longer need all the functions that the Denon provides, e.g. DAC, BT, preamp etc, and I am looking for a pure power amp. I only need the amp to drive a bookshelf speaker, namely, Elac dbr 62 and...
