    Sony XA7ES Stabilizer Puck Dimensions

    Hey everyone - Recently purchased a Sony CDP-XA7ES lacking it's stabilizer puck. Having a hell of a time finding a replacement, however, I did find a guy willing to machine one for me. Only issue is that I have no idea what the exact diameter of the spindle hole is, nor the overall weight. We...

    B&W 805 Matrix series - good synergy system match?

    Hi there - I have a nice pair of the older B&W Matrix series 805s, black (sudio) edition. I am just curious about other options for speakers that might match "better" with this gear. I have plenty of power and it sounds great, studio like - but thinking of wanting something a bit for fun...

    Sony SCD-777ES Issue Resolved.

    I recently resurrected a Sony SCD-777ES that the original owner thought was a door stop/Boat Anchor. Had all the issues. Wouldn't read SACDs. Would sometimes read Redbook CDs. Would show no disc as an error. It would lock up and not open the door, requiring a power down and restart. The advice i...

    I was working on a tc-k333esg (k950) and while disassembling the front panel I accidentally broke both push buttons because I pulled the plastic covers off while they were pressed in. This caused the retaining bracket on the blue plastic pieces to break which means that the buttons cannot be...

    Sony ta-n80 channel blown, cause?

    I made a post a few hours ago about getting the bias correct on my ta-n80 amplifier. I ended up setting the bias after the amp had fully warmed up and everything seemed fine, it kept the bias well and didn't do anything weird. So after this I turn it off, go to test it and get no sound. I tried...

    Sony ta-n80es bias adjustment advice.

    I just bought a 80es set for personal use and I am running a few checks on the amps to make sure they are ok. The bias adjustment in the service manual calls for 15mv per channel when turned on for 5 minutes. However I assume the bias will keep climbing for another 30 minutes or so. Is it...

    So, the other day while at a thrift shop I finally happened upon a remote control for my Sony CDP-707esd. It was only $10, but it was taped to a CDP-C15ESD 10 disk cartridge changer. I hurried home and tried my new remote on the 707... and BOOM! ...it worked. So, now I have a clean C15 just...

    Sony 570ES left channel hissing

    Hi all it's my first post here and it's about my first purchased Hi-Fi amp on this audio journey. It's a Sony TA-F222ESA (aka 570ES in the west) and I admire it being a little beast with 100W @ 6 ohms with a very clear and neutral output. However the topic at hand is I'm experiencing a hissing...

    Sony E200ESD Pre Amplifier Question.

    I have read conflicting things on the internet. Bet you've never heard that one before! Anyway, I understand that the signals entering at the analog inputs pass through the Sony's E2000ESD analog-to-digital (A/D) converters before being processed. That sucks, however, there is a Source Direct...
