    Former teenage audiophile jumping back in at 60, need some help getting started.

    Hi all, really appreciate all the expertise and experience in this forum. Lurking for a few weeks has brought back some great memories of riding my bike to drool over gear I could never dream of owning at Pacific Stereo, and the system I saved two years to buy. Now, even though I lost 90% of...

    Don’t know where to start with my Pioneer SX-450

    As a beginner, I thought it would be a good idea to start receiver repair with a cheaper model. I found a 450 for free near me that turns on, but has no output. Where should I start with this piece? (I have some experience with soldering, and I have a good soldering gun ready if I decide to recap)
