    Hello! I’m having an issue with my Kenwood KR-5600 receiver. When I listen to FM radio, sound only comes out of the Left speaker. When I turn the balance knob all the way to the right, I can hear a very quiet signal in the right speaker, but the Left signal is sooo much louder than the right...

    Stereo HDMI receivers

    Up to recently, I've been using a Luxman R105 with a pair of Vintage Celestion Ditton 44 and a Mordaunt Short Sub.

    Radio Reception

    Quick questions: Why does the radio tuner in the car parked in the driveway pick up more stations and has better signal strength than my stereo receiver which is only a few yards away? Is the antenna for the car that much better than the one paired with my stereo receiver?

    Onkyo TX-8020 FM Antenna Connection

    I set up my Onkyo TX-8020 earlier today. I was not able to connect the FM antenna that came in the box with the unit, however. The antenna uses a connection I am unfamiliar with. It appears to be similar to a coaxial cable such as the kind found on a TV antenna or a internet modem. I used a...

    SX-3900 vs SX-1980

    Everyone is familiar with the Pioneer SX-1980 beastly stereo receiver. I get what’s special about it to a very limited extend: the insane 270 wpc, the 3 speaker channels, the heft and size, and the beauty of all analog. However, why doesn’t it’s successor, the SX-3900 get nearly as much love (I...
