static noise

Hey guys. I have a 2325 that I re-capped a few years ago. Sounds fantastic hooked up to my AR-11's............. I have three issues, some of which I hope you lot might be able to comment on: 1) It's recently starting to hum across both channels. I pulled the lid and checked the PS: spot on...

Hi, I bought a Pioneer SX 727. I noticed two things. One, the bass knob doesn’t go full power, it goes only 3/4s of the way. In addition, whenever i turn from fm to phono or other, there is quite a loud static noise.

Hello AKers ! :) First of all, sorry for my poor English, i'm a french reader of this forum. I have a problem with my beautiful Marantz 2285B, which has been completely recapped (except FM boards, main dual-core filter capacitors and the output transistors). When I turn it on and after the...

I just found this forum on Reddit and was wondering if this community can help somehow get back my speaker system back to life. I have this old 4.1 Promedia that is having some static noise issues. Every time I connect the satellite speakers to the subwoofer I get this loud static noise from...

Hi all, So i keep hearing this popping sound coming from my speakers when watching tv. It happens A TON when airplaying to my sony tv from my macbook. It happens frequently but less when watching apps on my sony tv and I think it even happens when listening to my bluesound node (but much MUCH...

So I bought a really nice looking Sherwood S5500 Series III. Sounds fantastic. Looks like all the tubes are original: 2 Telefunken 12AX7 in the phono section 1 RCA grey plate in the tone 12AX7 socket 2 Mullard short plates in the phase splitter positions 4 GE 7868 power tubes The RCA was...

New to this and not familiar with this amp so I could use some help please. This is my friends amp and it has been setting for a few years. There is no output other than static and the occasional popping sound from the outputs. The left side is worse than the right but no output from either...

Just picked up a 2275 and am in the process of recapping (first attempt) and while working on the P700 power amp board the white wire that connects to the J708 pin snapped off. I removed the remaining wound up wire. Before I noticed it after my recap, I was testing and there was no output. Now...

I am the original owner of a pair of RSM's bought around '80. I love my speakers and have babied them through the years and have re-foamed the grey woofers twice. A few years ago the tweeter pots started sounding like static when adjusted. Recently one EMIT has quit producing those rich highs...

So today my Sansui AU-9500 presented the same symptom of some Forum friends. The left channel when heated, did not notice the problem with it cold, began to make noises that look like the sound of static. I cleaned all the potentiometers, the left channel driver board and the F2006 board with...

To make a long story short, I am not the most analogue savy person so any help that can be provided is much appreciated. I inherited an old Sansui RZ5000 which I have a pair of speakers and a turntable hooked up to, never had any problems with it. I moved and reset everything up the other day...

Hello everyone. Just signed up after months of spying the threads as my interest began growing in vintage receivers. I got some really good information from those threads. And so finally I myself came up with an issue. I got my hands on a Toshiba SA 300 (practically free) and after cleaning the...

I have been listening to quite a lot of vinyl lately and as such I have noticed an alarming event every so often during my session. Without warning my right speaker will "explode" into a static fit overdriving my right woofer and producing very loud static noises. I have to jump up and quickly...

Some time back I got a Sansui 5000A in trade...it had one blown channel. I thought I might part it out... I opened it up and wow, you really have to admire the 5000a build quality. I fell in love, so much so that I went all out and cleaned every single solder joint and recapped every...
