    AR-XA RCA wiring

    I've had my XA for a very long time, and it runs great. I recently made a large batch of custom Mogami interconnects for my stuff at home. As it turns out, I have some cable left. My AR-XA still has the original RCA cables, so I thought that I'd make a custom set to replace it. I don't want...

    My first Dual. CS-622

    Well took the plunge and purchased my first Dual today. It’s from a local guy who is respected locally in the vintage scene. Mechanically a 10/10, cosmetically 8.5/10. The seller suspects the stylus has been replaced since it was made. And I guess time for me to learn about ULM. I am aware...

    Hey Everyone. I bought a 1965 Magnavox Astro-Sonic console with a Micromatic turntable that didn't turn. I rebuilt it by following the directions posted here by larryderouin -- and now it works!

    Sony PS-LX510 - sound only from one channel

    I have a relatively newly aquired PS-LX510, with a genuine Sony cartridge, with NOS Sony stylus. It works pretty well, everything moves as it should, but I only get sound out of one channel. I've measured the cable from the internal board, that is fine. I've also measured the sockets for the...

    PL-500 to PL-600 differences.

    I am looking at a busted PL-600 that I can possibly repair, or a working PL-500 for about double for my first TT. Both are the old silver ones (the good ones). Not sure what the differences are, or how easy it would be to repair a platter/arm that isn't moving. I have repaired plenty of...

    Genuine Shure M104E stylus or Aftermarket?

    Hello all, My M104E stylus recently got damaged in a move (the arm became dislodged and swung around) and I've been looking for a replacement. It seems I cannot find a genuine replacement anywhere and anything online looks too cheap to be a decent-quality, diamond-tip stylus...

    Music Hall MMF 5 won't turn on? Right power cable

    So I found a Music Hall MMF 5 table at the thrift for a decent price. It had no power cable. I got one off of Amazon that I thought would work, but it doesn't. I'm thinking that that's because the cable I got uses DC power. I found out that I need AC power, but some of the OEM cables cost $40+...
