I used the Cinch Jones connector recently because you can't buy the originals from Pioneer anymore and I'm not paying 30 bucks on ebay for them. For just under 4 bucks each from Mouser you can solve the problem quite easily. Doesn't look bad either.

Good info on the A-71. I never knew just how different that is compared to the A-717. They look so similar from photos, but side by comparisons really show just how massive the insides are to the A-71. That is one impressive integrated amp.

Here's mine finally all in one man cave.... after the remodeled basement last year. Probably a bit excessive :)

I had a similar problem, not sure if its the same. Try checking at the bottom of the forum listings and see if the display options section on "from the" is set to "beginning" and not something like 2 weeks or 45 days. When I first browsed on one of my new laptops that setting somehow got...

If I could, I'd love to add a PL-90 to my setup. I highly doubt I'll ever find one though.

Seems more and more stations in the Chicago market are slowly evolving to either Spanish music, or an English talk format. I read somewhere the other day that coincides with FauxHall's post about more Hispanic listeners are driving stations to Spanish formats. I think in chicago alone we have...

I got a pair of those too. I like the look and sound of them, but mine aren't nearly as minty as yours. Mine show some age on the front panels, but still pretty decent for 40 year old gear. You really don't see to many posts about guys restoring these.

For me it was my Dad's LP, I still remember him when I was 6 playing that LP. About the age of 15 I got hooked on it, even without the Herbal Enhancements :) Fastforward 25 years, my Dad at 63 still has the CD in his truck, and I at 40, have collected various versions of the album. When I'm...

The owners manual on my SX-1500TD shows 58W into an 8 ohm load. 180 Watts max. It always performed similar to a 60W rated reciever in my opinion. It really sounds great hooked up to some vintage AR's or KLH speakers I have. I wonder if the amp section is the same between the 2500 and the...

40 years ago, i was 2 months old..... gosh how time has flown by.

Welcome to AK. Were in Northern Indiana are you from? The company I work for is based in South Bend. I travel there quite a bit during the course of year.

I still play quite a few old tapes. One in particular, an old Scoth 150 tape that my Dad recorded of Simon and Garfunkels, Sounds of Silence, is great. He recorded that one at 7-1/2" on a 4 track stereo deck from a new LP when it came out in 66'. It sounds so good I haven't been compeled to...

Lucky you :thmbsp: Sure looks really nice.

My uncle bought an entire Sony system with that 760 as the heart of the entire setup. The only thing that ever gave him problems was that first generation CD player. I believe the last time I went to his house he still had it setup and was using it. The times I played around with it in my...

Not sure on a CT-93, but on a CT-91, CT-S800 the front door cover comes off pretty simple. 1. Open door 2. Gently slide front cover of Door up about 1/8 inch, and it'll just come off. (Gently,, as in a few ounces of force) On an cheaper model CT-S600 the cover is clipped on, and I found...
