Actually, SX-5580 is the 1050 in a Tuxedo, the 5570 is the 950

I did some work on a friend’s 9090DB and it sure did sound nice for a receiver. I have a Pioneer SX-5580 so know the improved looks of these Black/Silver receivers. For what a 990DB will sell for vs having one, tough decision to make even if it doesn't do main rig duty.

Loaded Album Leaf x2, Dire Straits, Miles Davis and Pink Floyd The Final Cut Listening before the boys drop by for some audio discussion and records they play.

Try REZN. Cosmic doom band.

Missed the part about some of those captured have been released back in the US. Why are you so happy about these captures and deportations? Is your job threatened by them or something? Just curious. I'd just like some kind of control of the borders.

I loaded up a few Cure CDs and the player just would not read them. Swapped to the other Sony of similar function, same remote, same service manual and dang if it wasn't having trouble reading the first disc. Finally got it to read and now I have one more chunk of gear that needs to hit the...

Listened to Echoes as I usually do at night. Then with fresh batteries in the remote for the tuner an arm’s reach away, I have listened to 8 stations in the last two hours playing a wide variety of rock music we used to hear on the radio. Been rather enjoyable hearing those deeper cuts and some...

Agree why brass. But we don't know any of the discussion between cartridge owner and the retipper. It is just one instance and Chris is all over it for boasting about his vs this. I expect a business to do that sort of thing. Knowing both sides would be better. Just leave it at that.

Vas heads up- Vinyl Engine is the thread.

Knowing about the guys that do this, discounting Soundsmith and Excell in the UK, the price ranges based on cantilever material/diamond shape but replacing a diamond on original cantilever is more due to the work of removing the original and installing the new one. Just swapping a cantilever is...

The depth needed is only to see the wear spots, the total depth equal to about the depth of a record groove. I learned to read styli when working at the store. First needle I looked at was a Pickering XV-15 1200E a friend gave me. Looked new to me, very little wear.

Which Denon is very low output? Checked VE and they have some at 0.12-0.2mV, the low end of a LOMC My first MC was purchased while I worked at Hi-Fi House in Knoxville, Ortofon MC20 with a 70µV output, 0.07mV. Learned about phono pre preamps (headamps) and SUTs. Still have it. Think it is...

I sold my 125 as I picked up a 126. Now the 126 has a black control panel, black arm board and a black floating chassis, the gray part on the 125. I like the Magnepan tonearm and it is black, too. I have to make a different arm board just so I can see the tonearm on the table. I could paint...

My Tice is from before the clock. Just a single Power Block no Titan side unit holding down the shelf.

So you sourced a TD-125B faceplate to eliminate the cuing switch. Nice. Like the DIN on the back. Having the speed adjustment wheel centered is a mark of a recapped nicely working unit. Enjoy

Loaded the cdc with Everything but the Girl - Like the Deserts Miss the Rain Eric Clapton - Unplugged Eric Burton and the Animals - Best of... Eurythmics - Revenge Enya - Shepherd Moons Just eye level jewel cased in the main collection easy to grab. Most of the ones I have been playing that...

M is the tolerance grade, M=±20%. This is part of the datasheet for the cap easily found on Mouser or Digikey or from Wima. You can replace polar caps with non-polar caps. Yes C43 is a non-polar cap. Buy your kits from peace.love.music / affinity for artifacts, a regular ak member that puts...

I was thinking the same thing. There are a pile of high end speakers out these days and I'd really like to hear a number of them. And Revel is part of the Harman Group and even though owned by Samsung their products seem to be top quality.

OK, I changed the CD 6-pack in the car and what came out was two known albums, Pete Townsend White City Bob Weir Heaven Help the Fool and I recall that loading this disc-pack I put on new to me from Tom CDs that got a 4-5 star rating in my files. Black Dub their eponymous 2010 disc was the...

Someone's TD-160 Super needs to have a run-in with a can of black spray paint to looks its best. But The tunes probably sound good from that machine. Some good choices there. I've been doing the radio with XPN playing the top 885 songs from this century. I know almost all the artists, only...
