Nice. Definitely a rewarding endeavour. I'm currently listening to my dad's Kenwood 5150 reciever...also mid 70's era. I also have a Sansui similar to the one I posted that belonged to my wife's grandfather. That one I refurbished.

Oooh...Nice Sansui.
My Luxman R117 R channel gave up the ghost. I looked at info to repair it but I am not good with electronics or PCB, and this thing is a beast to work on and not a novice project. Not all the capacitors or resistors are even available to fix it. I'll park that for a bit and look for another vintage receiver. My requirement on these is to have the VU Meters on the face, like yours. That limits me somehow, along with my budget. I'll probably settle for a Pioneer SX-580 or 680 (780 is too rich for my taste). |

I started using it back in the mid 2000s. Great warm sound. I prefer the accuracy of modern equipment but the older sound is nice and relaxed. |

There are other minidsp with more inputs and you can get quite creative with all the plug ins available and configure them to do just about anything reallly. |

I have a tube receiver that needs a recap. Haven't had time to start it. Don't want to leave it half done or it'll never go back together!

That's a 9090DB. I have a "plain" 9090. I'm good with that since the dolby circuit is known to be problematic and nontrivial to repair.

My parents tossed a fantastic analog receiver and 8 track tape deck years back, and it kills me. I now have two consoles, one fully tube and one solid state. The SS one needs a driver replaced but plays vinyl well. I'm sad that I can't easily fix the other, from what I've tested, something in the amp seems to only power one channel (it alternates) at a time.

I had noticed the MRX’s power, but was mentioning the Marantz as having the same power, but with significantly better THD specs. I see the Starke and ATI are even cleaner! |

I've got some new stuff on the way.
After nearly a decade of enjoying the hell out of the sound of my 7 channels of Hsu Research horn bookshelf speakers, I've decided to switch it up while downsizing much of my setup. I've enjoyed the warm sound of the SVS satellites in my office 5.2.2 so much that I've decided to swap out the sides and rears in my main viewing/listening space with a couple pairs of these, while swapping out the from stage with SVS's Ultra bookshelves and center. I'm excited to demo these in my space and try something new. |

Step one: pass all cables through the wall
Step 2: go to Amazon and purchase the Banana plugs, because you forgot |

Hey guys, looking for some suggestions. Recently got a new XBOX and looking into replacing my existing 50" 1080 LED with a modern 55". Went to Best Buy yesterday and almost walked out with a Samsung Q70T as it was rated pretty well for the price, however it was out of stock. The salesman pointed me to an LG CX series, which was significantly more expensive (1,450ish) but had great ratings and it was OLED--also out of stock.
He mentioned the TV manufacturers are gearing up to release this year's new sets. I saw Samsung is releasing its new Quantum Dot technology, which as I understand, is essentially its version of OLED. Thoughts on this? I'm not in a huge rush, but don't mind spending some $ on a nice TV. My use case is Xbox gaming, and Netflix movie/show watching in the bedroom, which is generally dark. I'll hang up and listen, thanks |

I have the Samsung Q70 and it’s great. I really like the interface of the smart features too. Buy it online?
There should be sales coming up pre-super bowl. |

Wait. Not many tvs are doing VRR and 4k 120hz well.
I think Reflex is enjoying his CX series - but I'd wait for the 2021 tvs to take full advantage of all that the Xbox offers. Did you get the series X? Otherwise I'd consider Sony's 900h series, which are at costco https://www.costco.com/televisions.h...2522Sony%2522| |

I have the LG C9. The CX uses the same panel and are both amazing. Absolutely don't regurt the purchase.
Related gripe: streaming services that don't support 5.1 through their browsers. Easy enough to download their app to the TV, but it's annoying. |

Welp, so I did this
This is my weird rear speaker arrangement. Moved all speaker wires inside wall Surprisingly, the rear speakers sound really good once calibration is done. Played some movies and the Polk sound very nice. Much nicer than the Sony Core they replaced. Now to facespace to try and sell the old bookshelf speakers Last edited by vapore0n; 01-03-2021 at 06:15 PM. |
