Finally... i Now have a full set of Original CD Releases for the Tracklists of two of the most formative Soundtracks of my Boyhood. Me and My Mom listened to these Cassettes often whenever we went about Town. the COCOA PUFFS was a Mail-in Premium that she ordered... and the CHRYSLER DEMO was...

Brought an Old Friend back... DENON DCD-1500, 1985/1987. My First Serious CD Player, found at a SALVATION ARMY in 2006. My Grandma (R.I.P.) used her Senior Discount to get it for me for around $12.00 IIRC. i wiped my Original copy out long ago; getting all cocky and over-adventurous in the...

the RD-0194 series Tweeter upgrades i ordered up had gotten held up in transit through the weekend... thanks to USPS. they came rolling in to my PO today, (11/18/24) and i couldn't pick them up and install them until the Afternoon. BOY, Do they ever Make a Difference... like a 1000%...

Just Pulled the Trigger on what i hope to be a genuine Upgrade, POLK AUDIO MONITOR SERIES 5 Jr; (11/8/24) Grabbed them on Good Faith in POLK AUDIO, as my current Stereo pair, POLK R10 Minis, have done nothing less than Impress since i found them for dirt cheap at a thrift back in...

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"

-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...

Double-Layered bottom plate, thanks to parts aquired from a fellow parting out his dead VSX-49TX;

and, at just short of 65lbs. Hefty, at that!!!

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...

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...

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...

anyone game for the deal of the decade on a semi-vintage PIONEER AVR? https://www.ebay.com/itm/274312378263?ul_noapp=true

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...
