You don't need two DACs. Connect the USB from your computer to the Modi USB input. Use the optical out from your TV to the Modi. Use the input selector on the Modi to select the input you want.

I found his Parasound P/HP-850 at the Goodwill Outlet for $6. It isn't functioning properly. There is voltage around the board. One of the voltage regulators may be bad. It has a function selector IC to choose the input. It shuts off all inputs when there is a voltage glitch to one of the...

That is an interesting find. It reminds me of something from my high school days in the 60s. I went to a small school in a rural area. They had a preacher come to the school to warn us about the evils of rock and roll.

You will be able to use Pure Direct mode on the Marantz if you use an external DAC for streaming. That mode bypasses all of the digital processing and analog video processing in the reciever which gives you cleaner sound.

Congradulations. That is a great find at a great price. Those are first generation sevens. Based on the horizontal placement of the tweeter, those were probably built from 1976 to 1978. The tweeter was mounted vertically and parallel to the midrange in earlier years. I think the 1st gen only...

Thanks for your help. There was a typo in the post. The name appears to be "Andrey". I don't think it was painted by Audrey Flack. I looked at some of her paintings and they are very different.

I found his oil painting at any independent thrift store for $15. It is signed "Adrey". I did some searching but I couldn't find any information about the artist. I showed it to my 15 year old son and he hung it on his wall right away. It matches hid red wall beautifully. He is always taking...

They model number is Speakerlab 2.5 I haven't seen speakerlab woofers with concave surrounds but all the other drivers are right. They probably are all original. Update: I was looking at the cover of 1975 Speakerlab catalog and it shows a S7 that had a 10" woofer with a concave surround.

Check your email. I think there is a thread here about issues with registering with hifiengine.

My CDC-3A has an issue now. I was using the single disc magazine. It won't eject the disc. The loading and disc select belts appear to be working OK. I may have to pull the whole assembly but that will be difficult with the magazine and CD in place. There is a manual for the Pioneer PD-M400 on...

I listed those models because you may be able to search for belts for them because they are more common. The Nakamichi is not as common and it is less likely that belts are listed for it.

Here are some other players that use the same mechanism. My guess is that they will use the same belts. Many of the Pioneer players are common. PIONEER PD-M400 PD-M500 PD-M700 PD-M720 PD-M900 PD-M901 PD-M910 PD-M50 DENON DCM-444 ONKYO DX-M505

I found an orphan Heresy 1 at the GW Outlet for $5. This was built in 1971. It is a "decorator" version with just plywood painted black. I waited around for an hour to see if another one was brought out. I had to go to an appointment. I came back after that but the mate still didn't show up. I...

I would also select the boron MR. BTW, ruby and sapphire are both the same material (corundum). The only differences are the trace elements that give them their colors. Assuming the cantilevers of both are constructed the same, there shouldn't be a performance difference between the two.

There is one for $29 at Parts Express. I don't know if how good it is but it is made in Switzerland. https://www.parts-express.com/N95ED-Shure-Type-Replacement-Stylus-230-400?quantity=1

Listen to Mommy Dearest "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!"

His RX-4109 should not have a problem with 6 ohm speakers. I powered Speakerlab 7s rated at 4 ohms with that receiver for years without a problem.

I don't know why they changed the ratings. 150 watts or 250 watts are the maximum recommended power. You don't need anywhere near that much. The recommended minimum power is 15 to 25 watts. The 7WAs have a Sensitivity rating of 92db. I am not sure about the original 7s but it is probably...

Pioneer 6 disc magazines are the same as the ones used in the Nakamichi cdc 3a. They are very common. There is also a Pioneer single disc magazine with a drawer that fits in the slot and makes it more like a single disc player. Those are more difficult to find.

Here is a post about lens replacement: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/replace-cd-lens-pioneer-pd-m700.469590/ There is also a video on youtube I don't know what glue is best. The one originally used was water based and failed because of moisture. I am happy that you found...

This is where I found the players in the first list. https://www.dutchaudioclassics.nl/the_complete_d_a_dac_converter_list/ Are you sure the lens hasn't just fallen out and is somewhere inside of your player? That is what usually happens. Check your local thrift stores, CL, garage sales, etc...

blipco, the 3s are excellent speakers. My best friend had a pair so I have spent a lot of time listening to them. We had some great rocking parties with them too. The 4s are the same as the 3s except they have a horn tweeter.
