tech support

Hello all, first time posting. I've encountered a quite strange issue. I have a JVC KD-V6 3 head deck. I've had a wonderful time playing and recording with it. But last night when I put in a new Maxell XLII-S for a new mix tape, I discovered that there appeared to be dropouts on the left...

Hi friends, I recently picked up a pair of L100t3 with pretty severe sun damage. Took them apart, re-stained and lacquered the cabinets.drivers were already re-foamed; I did the tweeters. Put them back together and the left speaker sounds terrible. Initially I thought maybe the mid or the...

System: Krell KAV300i B&W 804s HSU STF2 Audio Innovations Phono preamp Schitt Modi DAC UB9000 UHD Player (with DAC) A few weeks ago I was watching a movie and heard slight crackling coming from what seemed the left channel tweeter. I did some frequency sweeps and tests to see if the tweeter...

Can anyone confirm which bulbs are needed for a MR74 tuner and a MC 2505 power amplifier? Would love to swap in new lights for both.

Does anyone have any recommendations for professional competent audio techs with experience working with McIntosh gear? Seems harder than I’d expect so please let me know if you know a good tech or two.

Hello! Wondering if someone can help me! I got my hands on a beautiful vintage Onkyo stereo receiver and it all works great except for in the phono section the left channel is coming through quieter then the right. It's also a tiny bit distorted sounding. I have double checked my source and...

Using a Luxman L-80V that was recently taken apart and refurbished - caps, transistors, the works. Was running beautifully for a while until I went away for two weeks so it sat without use. When I came back upon powering on it produced a very loud and variable hiss that eventually died down...

Does anyone have schematic info on this model? I have dc offset causing the relay not to energize and the amp will not come out of protection. I can’t seem to adjust this. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Hello all, I am currently running a Denon AVR-2802 with a pair of Paradigm Reference Studio 60v3's. I am bi-amping these speakers through the 5-channel stereo mode (FR,FL, SR,SL). I have a Mirage LF-100 sub-woofer that I plan to dual sub with the RPW-10. Now to the problem: The RPW10 powers on...

Folks: Got a sweet Beogram turntable but I need to get it properly set up, balanced, etc. Anyone know a capable tech I can take it to? Note: Hawthorne Stereo (where I have gone for decades) does not work on Beograms any more but they were kind enough to help me out with a belt issue. So, I...

i have a great Yamaha R9 receiver/amplifier, ca. 1985. I use it to drive 3 sets of speakers, family room, kitchen, outdoors. I can switch them on as needed from the front panel. I would hate to give up the R9 because of its great sound and 3 speaker control. However, in particular if the volume...

Hi AKers, I recently picked up a gorgeous Yamaha CR-820 that had only been driven to church on Sunday. The only flaw I have noticed is that the lamps are all out. I asked a stereo shop in Berkeley who estimated $150-200 to replace the bulbs. I'm new to this, but that seems high. I'm looking...

Hi I'm new to this site and hope to add some facts about audio theory and building amps in the 1950-70s from kits and scratch. My first was a Lafayette 18w /per chan 7 tube Stereo Pwr Amp(hybrid construction)offered in kit form, I built it in 1958 The 2 Push-Pull audio output # 7189...

Hey all, I just recently purchased an old Realistic Clarinette 98 at a thrift store. All the components work great, except the turntable off/on/auto switch is completely jammed. All other switches work fine, but the switch will not allow you to turn on the 'table. Please help!

Hello, I am definitely a Hi-Fi newb... I just know that my Sansui sounds great. I am very sad, as recently I started noticing fuzz and a crackling distortion on the right channel. Sometimes it is intermittent on both L and R channels at lower volumes. If I crank the volume to about half at the...
