    what are you listening to?

    one of the core Albums of the soundtrack of my childhood, - one that my mother used to play in the car on Cassette quite often - LITTLE RIVER BAND's 1979 "FIRST UNDER THE WIRE"

    Pioneer VSX-47TX A/V receiver (2001)

    -sorry to be so late- it reinforces the base to better support the weight, (60-some lbs.) thereby strengthening the base plate, and preventing the devilish inward-bowing issues that the nominally-single-layered base plate of the VSX-47TX is generally prone towards, especially after 20 years of...

    Pioneer VSX-47TX A/V receiver (2001)

    Well... something i knew was coming sooner or later just happened; my prized 1991 TOTL PIONEER VSX-D1S AVR began to fail on me, after years of faithful workhorse service since bought used back in 2003. it's actually a simple/complex issue, endemic to all copies of this receiver, as the various...

    Craig , .RIP bud...

    Oh God. he was a very good friend to me, for many years, from back in my AUDIOKARMA days in the mid/late-2000's, onward. he even gifted me the single TDK MA-XG i have, as well as the like-new-in-box PIONEER GR-777 unit he so thoughtfully found locally in Tucson for me. i thank you for all...

    I have a VCR repair to attempt, what is it I'm looking for and?

    sorry i cannot really help, Steve, but i've never really dismantled this mechanism before. when i got my U70 well over a decade back, i immediately took it in to the closest service shop around for about $110.00 worth of maintenance work; new rubber and a new capacitor on the S-VHS Hybrid IC...

    Pioneer CT-S800 (CT-91/CT-939)

    i haven't even seen it since that first time as a boy, when my folks rented it for me as a new release around 1993/1994. even so, i sure did listen to that soundrack album plenty back then, especially as i only had but a tiny handful of tapes at the time. perhaps one of these days, if i stumble...

    NAD 6040A Cassette Deck

    what little of NAD i've heard of, -mostly from 80's issues of STEREO REVIEW i have, as well as a KENWOOD OEM NAD 1986 CD player i saw at a thrift once long ago- indicates that they never really seemed to be clear about what their brand acronym stood for beyond the early-80's there. in all, all...
