    Hanna EH MC cart for Sony PS X7?

    I am still a little fuzzy on compliance and carts and tone arms. I have done some Googling and searches in this forum but have not found enough to know how to decide if the Hanna EH MC would be a good fit with my Sony. Yes, it’s listed in BT. Any education and opinions would be greatly...

    "Hot" smell from Sony STR-D715

    Several weeks ago, I replaced a couple of dead power transistors and a ceramic power resistor (it's in the output path, I forget what it's called). I turned it on for basic testing, and all seemed well, but then I noticed a hot smell from the amp. It wasn't a burning smell, just "hot." I had a...

    AK Acquisitions as Eye Candy

    I have picked up some great gear from Ak members over the years. Every transaction has been a pleasure. Last night I allowed myself the time to just listen. We know. Play tunes lots, but not always for our undivided attention. I picked the turntable forum because that's the heart of my...

    I need some power cords for both Sony & Teac

    I have both a Teac 3300-10 and a Sony TC 630D reel to reel that could benefit from new power cords. They both have non-polarized, two prong male sockets mounted on the unit and the cords I got with them back in the day were interchangeable. I've looked around and even ordered a Hosa PWC 178...

    Sony STR-DE945 - No power issue.

    This is not a very common system. But we had this Sony STR-DE945 from 2001. About a few years after getting it, the system would no longer power up if you press the power button. The remote that it came with was the only way to power it up, but after a year of only using it. It too gave the...

    Sony TC-W365: Any good?

    I felt like adding a tape deck to my stereo setup, and my dad had a TC-W365 lying around. I replaced some floppy belts and it seems to be running fine. He says it's just a decent deck, nothing special. I have no clue how good it is aside from that. All I can really add is that the build quality...

    Replacing Sony STR-D715 transistors, anything to look out for?

    I have a Sony STR-D715 that quit working a few years ago, and I finally decided I should fix it. It didn't take me long to realize that both power transistors on one channel were shorted. I ordered new transistors from Mouser. Is there anything else that could have fried along with the shorted...

    Sony TC-WR90ES won't play (FF & Rewind work fine)

    Trouble with Sony EL-5 Elcaset

    Hello, I recently got hold of a Sony EL-5 Elcaset deck. All things considered it is in excellent shape. No damage to casing, all the switches, dials, and lights work. Miraculously the belts seem to have been replaced recently as they are taught. I've also cleaned the head with some isopropyl...

    Sony SS-G7 Speakers? What have I found?

    Good evening fine folks of AK! As you can see, I’m riding a bubble at the moment. I just got home with a pair of Sony SS-G7 speakers. They look really good, with all drivers intact, I think. I haven’t plugged them in yet, as they weigh 115 lbs each, and I’m going to have to wait until my son...

    I got a Project One Tape Deck a while back. It's in great condition physically, and works as it should except I'm only getting sound out of one channel. Just curious what some of the common issues that may cause this, as well as what particular components I should test? Thanks in advance .
