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...

LITTLE RIVER BAND; FIRST UNDER THE WIRE (1979)/GREATEST HITS (1982)/NO REINS (1986)/MONSOON (1988)/GET LUCKY (1990) the soundtrack of my youth. committed to choice TDK SA-90s, using the CT-S800 as recorder, and the PIONEER ELITE PD-91 CDP as source... a pair of childhood favorites, owned on...

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...

Steven (ORANGE) just gifted me this deck. it seems to have belt issues, since it randomly throws itself into AUTO STOP. it really does WANT to work though, and, when it does, it has a nice, warm sound character that reminds me of the old mixtapes my dad made throughout the early/mid-80's on his...

i heard that stuffing the utterly empty stock cabinets with polyfill or the like significantly tightens up the bass response...

well, i stumbled upon these mini-monitors at my local GW just yesterday for $20.00. i nearly passed them by, but noticing the make, and knowing something of the reputation they have, i decided to at least have a close look. i was immediately impressed by the weight, for the size, and the...

thanks a ton Steve, and everyone else, too!!! and here is the exact three tape types that comprised my first ever TYPE-IIs, handed down from my folks back around 1999/2000. the MAXELL XL-II 1988 and TDK SA 1984 are courtesy of Steven (Thanks, man!!!) and the MAXELL XL-IIS 1989 is from a...

Thank God!!!! here's to a full and expedient recovery!!
