    Yamaha yp-d6 problems

    I just picked up a yamaha yp-d6 at a local vinvyl shop but it has some problems. The main problem seems to be that the turntable keeps spinning slowly after turning it off. There also seems to be a ground issue as there is this electric buzzing noise that won't go away no matter what I do. I...

    Recapping a Yamaha PX-3 linear tracking turntable

    @BillWojo has this really smart perspective on his favorite vintage gear: "if it has proprietary or unobtanium parts, insure it by recapping as quick as possible"... or something like that. He asked me to do a quick recap on his Yamaha PX-3 linear turntable and it went pretty well... with only...

    Yamaha amp stops all audio playback on computer

    First let me apologize for my total ignorance of all things audio. After a lifetime of listening to cheap PC speakers, I recently I bought my first real audio gear: a Yamaha A-S801 amp and KE Q150 speakers (all this stuff happened to be on sale). I'm attaching these to my laptop via USB to play...

    2 channe vs. AVR amps - seeking more WPC c/o Yamaha

    I have a power hungry pair of Epicure 202's (4 ohm config) driven by a RX-797 (100watts into 8 ohms) Yamaha 2 channel amp. IF I'm seeking to at least double WPC i'm seeing lots of cheap AVRs on offerup. I'm also seeing lots of down & dirty PA Yamaha amps (i.e. P2201) that will do it. The...

    Is Yamaha s500 powerful enough for Cerwin Vega 12"?

    I have a pair of Cerwin Vegas 12", they're rated for 300 watts max and I am considering getting a Yamaha A-S500 to drive them. The Yamaha s500 is only rated for 85 watts x2 unfortunately. I'm looking for something below $500 in order to get decent sound quality and volume, ideally a Yamaha since...

    Ideas on Yamaha HS80M problem?

    Hello, After 8+ years of trouble free problems, one of my Yamaha HS80M monitors seems to have gone out. The issues are: - no sound (this has been double checked to ensure it's not the cables or interface). - when I turn the monitor off and on, it makes a loud pop and the woofer pops. This is...

    YAMAHA CD-NT670 Advice or Impressions?

    I'm considering purchasing the YAMAHA CD-NT670 as a CD player for a secondary system. Does anyone have any experience with them? YAMAHA doesn't seem to publish the THD, S/N, or DR specs in the manual for this model. That leaves me feeling a little suspicious. I'd at least like to compare it to...

    A gifted Yamaha R-50 is returned

    Yamaha R-8 Receiver -- Cure for Alzheimer's

    Today I cured my Yamaha R8 Receiver's Alzheimer's. It was incredibly easy, and if your R-8 or similar receiver keeps forgetting its presets, you can cure Alzheimer's too. By way of background, this receiver was made during the 1980's so surviving examples are getting long in the tooth. My own...
