    Please help!

    Hi everybody! I'm a Technics guy, I want to upgrade my system, I have to choose between Technics Su-v6 and Su-vx800 and I'm not shure what to choose. What is better in terms of transparency, smoothness, naturalness, etc. Or to look for another number (ofcourse in the same price range)? I do not...

    Power Supply of Technics turntables

    Hi all, I used to live in Canada and own an SL-MA1 which I haven't used in some time. I live abroad and will be moving to the Netherlands where I was hoping to resurrect my vinyl system and bring my 'table with me. Initially I assumed that it would have a universal power supply and then I...

    Technics SL-1700 (MK1) Hum/Hiss Help

    I got my Technics SL-1700 from one of my favorite record stores in Louisville KY as a gift when I asked about it. They told me it did not work, the speed change was stuck and the speed controls out of wack, it came without counterweight, headshell and mat. Before investing time and money on it...

    New to posting here, so apologies if this thread started in the wrong place. I've just come into a Technics SH 3433, which appears to be in working condition when powered on. Unfortunately, since I don't have a quad receiver, I'm not entirely sure how to hook it up to a two-channel system. It...

    My new (to me) sl-d2

    I know she’s nothing super special, but she’s my first fully functional non-fidgety table in well over a decade. She was listed as “for parts/untested, platter spins” on eBay for $40 so I decided it was worth a chance. I blow more than that on food in 3 work days (prepared warm food makes me...

    Technics SL-1950 - Left channel not working / no audio

    I am looking for some advice on where to go next. The left channel does not work on the turntable. So far, this is what I have tried: 1. Eliminated the stereo as the variable - I reversed the RCA cable on the phono input and the left channel started working and the right did not - so I know...

    Technics SL-D35 Direct Drive

    Having some problems with my turntable. I got a new stylus for it last year, but I don't recall how to adjust the tone arm settings so that it clears the LP without scratching it when the record is over. I looked at the original pamphlet, but can't figure it out. Also, when the stylus drops onto...

    Picked up a Technics SU-G50 recently for free. Get it home, hit the power button, completely dead. Power switch is fine, fuse is good, checked the transformer, everything is good. There is a single burned resistor on the board, R771. Could this single resistor make the whole thing dead? And...

Most of the time, the problem I find is the belts have turned to glue. Living in Canada, if I want to buy a belt kit, I...

    Build Quality of Technics SL-1300??

    I am considering a 1300 as my first decent turntable in about 15yrs, but wanted to ask some owners about the build quality, compared to, say, the 1200's. I have never owned a 1200, but I have played with them in stores and know the tonearm bearings are smooth, the buttons are solid, the motor...

    Tale of two tables

    I have a Technics SL B2k and I'm happy with it. Just picked up a mint Sanyo TP 625 and love the look of it. Ordered a new belt for the Sanyo and I've yet to hear it up to speed. Anyone have any reviews on the Sanyo TP 625? Also, what's the better table?
