    Looking for help with Technics SL-P555 Compact Disc Player

    Hello everyone, I am currently looking for some help with a Technics SL-555 Compact Disc Player that I picked up today for free. I figured that it was free for a reason, but I couldn't possibly pass up a deal that amazing. When I got it home, I realized that it appears to be in excellent...

    What started you on your audio journey?

    I had always loved listening to records, then tapes, and on to CD's, but once children entered the picture and I mothballed my Pioneer SX-4, PL-220, CT-6R in favor of a Sony AV receiver, the enthusiasm died down a bit. Years later, while minding my own business, the bug bit me square in the...

    Technics SL-7 Latch Repair and Refurbish

    I just bought my first record player, a Technics SL-7 with some problems on ebay with the intent to fix it up and use it. It has the infamous cracked latch and is missing the 45 adapter for some odd reason. It's a really impressive machine, I'm surprised how much of it is metal. I'll be...

    Adding RCA Jacks to a Technics SL-1401

    As a little project to kill some time, I plan to add some RCA jacks and a ground lug to my Technics SL-1401 to replace the original captive interconnect cables. My Harman Kardon T60 came this way from the factory, and I like this feature. A few months back I made several pairs of double...

    Technics Sl-J2 Distortion on every LP

    Hello all, I recently grabbed a Technics Linear tracking turntable off a guy who lives about 25 miles away from me. Before you jump to conclusions, I went to his house and tested it on multiple LP's and it sounded perfect, before I bought it and took it home with me. For some reason, I get it...

    Turntable and Cart/Stylus Recommendation Needed

    I’m preparing to rip a ton of 80’s electronic/new wave vinyl and hard-to-find remixes I’ve kept in pristine condition over the years. So I’m looking for advice for a turntable, cartridge/stylus to get high quality rips of my 80s vinyl – much of which never released to CD. My budget is $3000 USD...

    Measure trigger voltage DC protection circuit of SU-V85A amp

    I just fixed a Technics SU-V85A which had a bad VAS transistor Q401. The result was that the "voltage amp" railed and the "current amp" tried to counteract this. Because of the former's current limit circuit it even succeeded. After fixing the fault I wondered why the speaker relay came in...
