stereo

Hello, left channel is distorted at any volume. Found the emitter resistors to be brittle and cracked. I have a mouser cart to be filled. Any other known 400 issues? For now I've ordered 2. New pc-28 boards but if I can fix with a few mouser parts, I'd save $170. Which I'd prefer. Thanks yall.

I have a Lafayette LR-810 I got for a really good deal and since I have been using it, the signal strength meter has stopped working for FM. It still works fine on AM, just not FM. I also am not getting any FM stereo, no light turning on, and no stereo sound. Any help would be appreciated.

Receiver: Marantz 2275 Problem: No sound, left channel. (Both Speaker and Headphone) What I've done so far: Connected the main out and in via RCA and swapped the cables. Left Channel still out. Swapped P700 Output board positions. left Channel still out. Swapped Output capacitor positions...

Hi all I'm fishing for a bit of help trying to fix an issue with this tuner. Hopefully someone out there has the time/inclination. It's a nice sounding tuner and I'd like to get it working, if I can. The issue is a bit unusual. It will tune into stereo (with some effort) and sounds good...

Hi all - I recently purchased a Packard Bell RPC-67 and am restoring the unit. I recently replaced all the electrolytics, but when powering the unit on, I get almost no low end out of the right channel. I took the power amp out and measured some voltages while powered, and noticed some channel...

Hi, Advice please I have a Sansui 4000 and love it. Looking at a Sansui Quad QR-6500 as I have 4 classic Klipsch legendary speakers so could do it. Is it worth the upgrade? My room is around 16x20' in size? Never heard quad and do not know anyone with it. Is the amp quality, sound...

Hello! I recently purchased an Empire 3500TE cartridge for my turntable and can't find any information about it anywhere... can you help me? What needle? The force of pressure on it? What year is the cartridge itself?

I’ve heard this about speakers many times and I’m wondering what the reasoning is behind it. Is it about flatness of frequency response? Colouration? Performance on paper? Let me know your thoughts on what makes a speaker audiophile quality!

Hello all - I know this issue has popped up several times before but I cannot find anything that suggests any possible fix action beyond cleaning it. My Marantz 2230 works on both channels when the stereo/mono button is on mono, left channel is extremely weak and noisy when stereo is chosen...

Let's have a NYC gathering, won't we - but my place cannot accommodate it yet! Subway access preferred.

The CR-420 arrived in impeccable physical condition. However, I've noticed two issues, to date: 1) Right channel is weak while in STEREO mode, only. When I switch to Mono, R/L sound OK. However, in stereo, with balance fully right, right channel sound arrives only with excessive volume. 2) the...

Heading out for a vacation in a number of weeks and MUST take my music with me. Anyone have a good/strong opinion on a small Bluetooth portable little one piece speaker/amp setup? Lots on the market, I know but want to filter through to get something decent. Will be using my iPhone and Spotify...

Hello, I have a question about an sx-780 I want to fix up. A little background on me, I've done some tube radios, both AM and one AM/FM. I'm familiar with basic soldering/desoldering, recapping, and limited troubleshooting. Use (in series) an isolation transformer, variac, and dim bulb tester...

I've been pondering this question recently - "Where does the "soundstage" that we claim to hear come from? In practically every review of equipment, the reviewer claims that the reviewed equipment has a certain soundstage, be it wide, tall deep, flat, forward, diffuse, or whatever other...

Hey y'all, I've been all over the web and made an account here hoping for some assistance. I'm trying to set up my parent's old Kenwood system and running into a block with the KA-92B stereo amp. I'm not getting any audio or signal into the left channel at all, on either bus. I've 2 speakers...

Hi, It looks like there's little technical information about Olson tube amplifiers. I'm trying to go through an unidentified model equiped with a 5AR4 rectifyer, four EL84 PP and 5 12AX7 (all testing good). There's some residual audible ripple after recaping the power supply whatever the...

Hey there, thanks in advance for any advice on this issue, it's been a real head scratcher! Unit originally had a separate thread due to blowing fuses, previous owner had bumped up a ton of cap values and removed the phono pre-amp for some reason, so I restored most of the cap values to close...

My guess is that you just put it on contact with bare speaker wire but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Hello everyone! I have an Pioneer Hi-Fi deck, which consists of AZ-470 amp (I don't recall the tape deck/equalizer and fm/am reciever model names, not home at the moment). The system outputs 70w rms per channel according to info in hifiengine (although it sounds more like 50w to me, but that is...

Held at Mebane Auction Gallery parking lot, right off of Hiway US-70. Meet starts at 8:00AM, these do not last long over by 12:00 or so. Audio will show up, tubes, radios, Ham Radio and more. I will have free water, snacks, might be too warm for coffee will see. Might have time to set up for an...

Hi all, i recently picked up a Grundig KS 732U solid state console with Turntable at the thrift store, it was powered up by another guy so i did some poking around and discovered no sound at all, light in the cab would come on but TT wouldn't power and couldn't even get static from the radio...

Going through a sx 828 right now and wondering if changing those tant caps will lose some of the magic this amp has. I feel like they had room for e-caps on the tone board so wondering why they chose the tant caps, I could fit some film caps but wonder if I should leave those alone. I know they...
