    Troubleshooting: I have isolated a problem resistor, but the issue lies somewhere down stream

    I'm new to hifi repair and have become really engrossed with it's puzzles. I found a Technics SA-101 on the street last week and took it home out of curiosity. I need to give it a deeper clean but I don't think that's where my issues lie at the moment. When I got the amp, the right channel was...

    High-end cartridge on a mid-fi turntable. Why not?

    I have an old Technics SL-DD33 with a standard AT92E cartridge. I'm happy with it, but curious. When googling what cartridge to get for this turntable, I saw the sentiment that there's not much point in getting a better cartridge for this turntable than the standard. Why would that be? If...

    Is a Technics SL-J1 a good turntable to start out with?

    I'm considering getting this as my first real turntable, but I don't know much about it. I can get it for $79. Is this a solid table? Will it be no trouble getting replacement cartridges for this?
