    Alpine AL-65 Cassette Deck (rare) volume knob replacement?

    I I have this deck with a broken output knob (volume) - it's the knob on the far left side. Anyone know of someone parting this deck out or of a model (some common model) that uses a similar knob? I don't mind modifying one, might have to. I can "glue" something onto the part that's broken...

    DAC UPGRADE older 24/96 to 24/192 Burr Brown Chip?

    Thanks for the advice, this was one of the DACs that I was actually looking at! I will check this out and also as @Billyk suggested looking at the actual chip that I am thinking of changing out and go from there. The current Schiite DACs are apparently upgradeable for "future proofing" but I...

    DAC UPGRADE older 24/96 to 24/192 Burr Brown Chip?

    Hi everyone, I tried to find a thread that was specific to my situation. I am eyeballing some decent OLDER DACs that are 24/96 or 24/48 capable, I like their prices. Can anyone point me to a thread/page that would help me decide what's involved in upgrading an audiophile DAC unit (as opposed to...

    AMPEX reel tape auto-reversing Tones? DOWNLOAD or info?

    Yes, that's a good plan. That is what I did, I just got an ampex tape and hooked it up, ripped the tone to the PC then to the CD for archival purposes. I was just being lazy and wanted to download the tone rather than have to put the R2R where I could plug it into my sound card etc...thanks for...

    AMPEX reel tape auto-reversing Tones? DOWNLOAD or info?

    Hi I am trying to track down these test tones that were put on the AMPEX pre-recorded reel to reel tapes. I understand they are a 20Hz rumble of sorts? Can someone provide specific information as to what works exactly - or even better, does someone have a source/link where I could download...

    DAC advice PC to DAC to Reel (highest frequency resp)

    Oh nice suggestions. I was aware of the ASUS but overlooked it previously, maybe I will take another look at that and the Grace unit, that is pretty darn sweet! Hmmm...I will take a read and post back. Anyone else is welcome to join in here. The specs on the Grace m903 are pretty insane, by the...

    DAC advice PC to DAC to Reel (highest frequency resp)

    I have tried to find the answer, but does anyone know of a few digital to analog converters that would suit this situation: it will be between my PC and reel tape (Sony tc 880-2 and a Technics 1500US) I am trying to find one that will provide the best frequencies (no loss) from original...

    DAC advice -PC to Tape, Specific needs: L/R output gain

    HI everyone, I have been reading and reading the threads on DACs and shopping, reading some more. But I can not find one that has these specific features. I will be brief: 24/192 minimum (*MIGHT settle for 24/96 if the rest of the needs are met) good SNR 100db+ and good shielding etc...

    Pioneer SX 950 receiver output stopped, clicked, started again, now no sound.

    OK, thanks for the tips, I have dabbled with electronics repair for 20 odd years, often when something like this happens I sell it for parts. However, this one is a keeper to me. I will post back when I find the solution. What you said makes sense, it was not particularly well ventilated, and I...

    Pioneer SX 950 receiver output stopped, clicked, started again, now no sound.

    Hi, I am sure there is a thread on here, but I can not find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please? I have a Pioneer SX 950 I have been using for years. Recently the sound would stop, the power transformed/output transformer? would "click" and reset. The power itself stayed on...

    Trying to identify a part from schematic Sony reel to reel TC-630

    Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time here. You know, I do not think that is what it looks like, the piece that's missing. I really should take some time and try and hunt it down. I have a fairly good memory and I think it was a solid piece without any switching mechanism, the wires went in and...

    Trying to identify a part from schematic Sony reel to reel TC-630

    Hi Mark T! Thanks a million! You are "the man". All I remember is it was the one grey piece, no cap, maybe it was something integrated? Regardless, I will look at the service manual for what you suggest. Much appreciated, and I am sure that your 1,400 posts have help other people like me, so...

    HI everyone, I was repairing this TC-630 reel to reel about a year ago, and you know how things go sometimes, I am now picking the project back up again.

    Oddball PIONEER Speakers TS-1690 with adjustable tweeter angle. Anyone seen these?

    haha nice! ya they are "tilt axial 4 way". The sound is decent for sure. you can tilt the tweeter from 10.5 to 60 degrees. The cabs are 1inch MDF with reinforced plywood in the corners. Well made cabinets. I am likely going to let the speakers go and keep the cabs. Thanks for the input guys. I...

    Sony TC 765 reel to reel tape Head COVER damage, anyone know of a parts machine?

    Hey R-2-R, Ebzen, Dr*audio, Oldschool, and everyone else I missed, thanks again for your help. I am pretty experienced with gear in general but, this seems to be a bit tricky. I do think that it's tarnished and I tried a minuscule area with the tip of a screwdriver to see if there was anything...
