I have a BiAmp TC60, seems very well built and sounds good to my ears. Don't know about the XA300 but the TC60 uses oddball 1/4 inch plugs for input; needed to buy a set of RCA to 1/4 wires.

If you can still find one, I've been very happy with my Niles DPS-1. Used to switch between my HT Receiver and Stereo setup.

I normally excluded all other countries from my Ebay listings until the Global Shipping Program was offered. It let me open up to a larger market without the added risk that used to entail.

Found an AR XA in great shape at the flea market, when he said $20 I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. Just needs a new stylus, came with an Empire 999 SE/X cartridge.

Found a Sony Discman D-121 for $6. Has line out and can take an AC adapter. Perfect companion for my mini office setup (Citizen PAF303, PSB Alpha Mites).

Been a long time since I've found anything interesting at the thrifts...this was brought out to the shelf just as I was walking by: Aiwa CA-30 "Carry Component System" Saw the price tag of $5 and just grabbed it without looking it over at all. Figured I'd have to search for a power cable but...

With these I think most of the value is in the tubes. If original, the 64 should be loaded with desirable Telefunken 12AX7s.

They're still out there, found a Pioneer SX650 at a yard sale today for $30 It was covered in an ancient layer of dust, should have taken a before picture. It cleaned up pretty well though and remarkably...it works! The only glaring problem is that one of the prongs broke off on the volume...

Someone must have finally decided it wasn't worth storing their old '90s AVR setup; local thrift store had a stack of Sony BPC coated in a thick layer of dust. Snagged a pair of Boston CR7s for $16 but the rest of the pile wasn't anything worthwhile. Nice upgrade for my garage tunes. Also...

Just found a pair of these at a garage sale and was intrigued enough to spend $20 on them. To my surprise, they seem to be working ok...if a bit muted, but the longer they run the better they start to sound :music:. I'm thinking a recap & update of the screw type terminals is in the cards for...

If its dirty, it's caked on hard enough that deoxit doesn't touch it. I've hit it several times with no effect.

Hi all, I have a BiAmp TC60 that has a worn out level potentiometer on the right side (only works at the 3 o'clock setting). I found a schematic, but I can't seem to discern the specs for the pot...hoping someone with a keener eye for this sort of thing could take a look. I'd like to either...

Found these yard sale leftovers on Facebook marketplace, they said nobody had seemed the least bit interested in them during the sale: JBL 4311WX-A, they definitely need to air out a bit but they work! I had to leave the grills outside as they smelled so musty; new cloth is probably in the...

The electronics section here has almost entirely turned over to flippers trying to buy / sell to each other it seems. Facebook has been the better source for my hobby lately but is a real pita to search, half the time I can't find what I had just been looking at a few minutes before. I've had...

Super stoked about my latest haul, found this Philips stack on Craigslist and luckily the first interested party pulled a no show. Three hour round trip netted me a Philips PA1200B (those meters!), Pre Amp 280, CD650 (no power cord), and a PT608 tuner. The pre & power amps work just fine, just...

Hit ebay looking for a cheap class D amp and stumbled across this Citizen PAF-303 for $27 (shipped!) instead. Very heavy for its size, can't find any info on it at all but it sounds great :music:

I have an insulated but rarely heated garage. Sometimes it gets a little condensation (particularly between hot/cold seasons) and being on a dirt road can get pretty dusty. I just relegate garage duty to "throwaway" gear...stuff I have no investment in and thus no qualms about taking care of. I...

I had a pair briefly, they sounded good but I had to give them away when I wanted to move them along.

Are you using the standalone app or a browser? Chrome and Firefox have all kinds of EQ extensions to play around with.

Decided to go the separates route again after selling my Pioneer SX737. Snagged a dirty Biamp TC-60 & Kenwood KC-991 off the bay. The combo sounds pretty darn good, though I'm unimpressed with the Kenwood build quality...it feels pretty cheap. The biamp was advertised as "powers on, untested"...

Windows 7 just hit end of life, I wouldn't use it on anything connected to the internet. If you have the Windows 7 COA sticker, you can still use that key to activate Windows 10. The ISO files are available straight from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 If...

Looks like a 1245. Mine sounds great when it works, but it has a slide in cartridge tray that is very touchy and prone to noise.

Hi all, thought I would share an unboxing with you since it seems there is almost no information about these on the web. I recently finished a recap of a Magnavox 8804 and decided to take a chance on one of the many Chinese preamps now on the market. The design of this one caught my attention...

Just an update, finally got this all together and running! Sounds nice and sweet, no background noise, and not noticing any lack of bass like I was expecting either. Just running straight from a Fiio X1 player atm; waiting for the slow boat from China on a tube preamp.

This seems like a messy solution; if its simply a matter of wanting a front connection at the receiver it makes more sense to get the Apple HDMI adapter and a short extension so you don't have to reach around every time. You're limited in options by having only the lightning port on an 8. It's...
