I also have a JVC JR-S50. While in High-School, I persuaded my parents to buy a JVC Stereo system in ... 1975, and this receiver was at the heart of it. I got hold of it earlier this summer, and I have restored it to full working condition. While at it, I replaced a couple of burnt indicator lamps with current LEDs. I am very impressed with its warm sound and how comfortable and pleasurable listening to it is, through a couple of nice, middle priced book-shelf speakers. Not having an "AUX" or "Line In", I can still listen to Spotify connecting my iPhone to Tape Play and using the "tape monitor" selection on the front panel. Also great to look at while listening!

Well now I’m second guessing my order I placed earlier today. Wanted to use it to drive my hd660 s2’s I just received. Your video is the first I came across talking about using for higher end headphones.

Just bought a 7020e for 14$ while thrifting!

That was my first new-purchase piece of hi-fi equipment! It replaced a (dead) vintage Kenwood unit that would be worth a small fortune today!

dragonfly black v1.5 too loud with sennhiser ie300 16omh volume 2/100 on windows 10,11 too loud!

What ??? I loved Jason in my youth 😂😂

I bought a cd box set of all of Pavlov Dogs albums but can’t remember ever playing it so I will have to dig it out and give it a listen.

I have this and ya do know that you could of simply turned off the laser light show while keeping the EQ fully tuning the music going throughout its band range 👌🏼 I do realize this is a few years old post

Just bought online a 7125 for £23. I think it's almost the same model as this but rated at 25 watts per channel. Interested to hear what it sounds like.

Can always play Crash Bandicoot or Gran Turismo if you don't like it as a cd player.

nice chineese amp for its price, i've got it for 25€ on flea market (which is why i searched yt for it). i prefer digital in/out, so, this one is sitting in my garage playing hq youtube streams. i keep nr1402 as principal, it sounds the same to me (on cabasse mt30 / triangle antal), marranz has lots of hdmi/tos which is too useful for me.

I have a 4020a it sounds amazing but you must have very good aerial and connections to get the best out of it.

Thanks

Bonjour je ne vous connais pas je suis tombé par hasard sur cette vidéo mais je pense que vous avez un problème d'oreille moi j'ai les 2 versions de ces enceinte et je les trouve vraiment excellente MDR

I've still got mine bought new in the 80s. Need help with the balance pot if anyone has advice .

Hi thanks for your reply, it’s very low level hum and noticeable either head phones on and only hear it as the arm goes towards end of record play, other people have notice it on forums, I changed as spare om5 abd it went away , I have bought vm95sh to test and that’s ok , so I change the Elyis with that when it wears out . Thanks regards mark

Hi great informative video, do you pick up some hum with your elyis2 cartridge as goes towards the end of play if your record, does mine on my p3 . Thanks mark

Well done!

Easy: 7080!

Didn’t know that coloured vinyl was inferior so thank you I have learned something.

Nice to see another owner of a ARB Turntable. I have one also.

Good video's! Hate to moan but it would be nice if you got rid of the ceiling and got yourself and the product in the same frame?

The case and pcb, but what about the components like the chip etc?

It’s nice to see someone’s system that gives them pleasure but isn’t stupendously expensive like some other TH-cam channels.

Class D sucks. They're all load dependant.

Class D amps have load dependenceis unfortunately.

Great video on this amp , wow only £99.99 and made in the Uk . Regards mark

I bought a cheapo dollatek unit and to be fair it sound far better than I was expecting (Much better than the Amstrad 8000Mk11 I had years ago)through my B&W DM110s, also have another cheapo similar one plugged into my PC and powering some Acoustic Solutions floor standing speakers. I am thinking abut getting another so I can use it for playing LPs but I am looking for another set of speakers for that.I did buy on for my sister so I could plage a Bush record player, and Amstrad Tape deck and a dvd player (For playing CDs) and used a pair of speakers from a kaput Denon midi system.

I’ve got an RP1 and I’m very impressed with it using a bog standard ATN91 stylus. No other changes apart from the latest Rega upgraded belt. How much more does the Planar 3 bring in your opinion? I suspect it’s the cartridge that makes most of the difference.

that is one cool looking TT. If it had a thick white ceramic platter, it would be perfect for me

Hi, thanks for making this video. I want to add another amp to my home theater setup so i can use the one for my turntable.I already have another preamp powering the L C R speakers, while the main receiver is powering the surrounds and height speakers. How do i go about connecting the L & R speakers to the switch amp box. Thanks.

In the 1970's I studied product design at art school and this amplifier was designed by one of my tutors there. I can recall watching him produce an airbrush rendering of it prior to his presentation to the client.

The top plate on the Q Acoustics is on backwards...i have these..the plate does not stick out...other way round or they will not be solid sitting on floor as speakers will be overhanging by up to 4"....great stands...work better the right way round bud....

The Through-Line is insensitive and needs a proper aerial to pull in a good signal. Not sure but I think it mentions this in the review (I also have it). The "Local" and "Distance" switch might also not be working correctly. Years ago I opened up both switches on one and found they were both badly oxidized . Cleaned them with Duraglit wadding and reassembled them.

Great and interesting video, it’s a shame that the elys 2 picks up hum on rega panar3 when it gets to end is record play . Regards mark

I think I have taken back in time feel like I watched an episode of spike Milligan and harry Seacombe radio show. With kindness and a smile

Hi great informative video, in the old days good external aerial is always good to get good reception and of course receivers years ago not that sensitive. However front ends come more sensitive, the earlier hifi tuners pure 702es have seperate antenna for fm and dab so decent aerial can be used to best dab reception. As it’s not that great so got antenna in attic, and have fm antenna on side of house and worked well . But when I upgraded to Rotel t11 which only have one aerial socket , now you can either great dab reception or now bad reception on fm, with the mag mount antenna suppled May be good signal area. Regards mark

I would imagine that FM broadcasts in the UK over the FM analog band has superior programming than what we have here in the United States, which is mostly commercial top 40 junk; increasing right wing talk radio that is starting to move over from AM and boring public radio playing the same small selection of symphonic music and or "tooty" saxophone oriented "smooth jazz". Sold off my Marantz 10B tuner nearly 20 years ago and that is about the same time I dropped listening to radio.

The Denon DL-80 moving coil cartridge also had a replaceable stylus.

this reminds me of the mistakes i have made...buying bits of hi fi based on their reputation, and / or their looks. some times they sound good, sometimes they dont !

I wonder what record is playing in the intro... it's an MFP label, and nearly all mfp records are re-recordings with another artist. My eyes were opened to tuner differences when I got my Yamaha TX-592RDS. It replaced a Sony receiver thta picked up 3 stations, I know pick up 40 and without annoying static. Same antenna, just plug and play. Not saying the yamaha is the best one since sliced bread, but I do know there's big differences out there

My favorite tuners are the Creek Cas 3140 and the Hitachi FT5500 MK11.

Just got into FM on my HiFi set up. Purchased second hand Magnum Dynalab 105T and it is a wonderful analogue sound. You do need a good signal (external or roof space aerial). Opened up a new world of all types of music and all free. Live concerts etc. I can get at least 17 stations from the Crystal Palace transmitter where I am in S London. Hopefully FM service is continuing and not disappearing in the short term I understand. Happy listening everyone.

Shame there's hardly anything to listen to on it here in UK.

Nice to see something about a tuner again. I personally stick to my Luxman 5T10 for now.

Some say that that Leak Sterofetic tuner is better, it has built in decoder. I like the Rogers Ravensbourne 2 FET tuner, it is fairly sensitive and sounds good.

Interesting video. Enjoyed it as usual but wanted to know about that 30-year-old high output moving coil phono cartridge. Wanted to know how it sounds. Thanks a lot take care

Around 1980, Amstrad produced a micro separates system of FM tuner, preamp, power amp and tiny speakers, all in black with a big Made in UK sticker on them. It was sold in Comet but seems to have vanished from history. I wonder if anyone bought one and what it was like, as it seemed much better made than anything else Amstrad sold?

I am glad this style of product can be made to work. Frankly, I expected bad news since, long ago, I used the watts dust bug , a very similar product that I don't think had any carbon fiber in the brush, and I found it contaminated the sound in use. I believe it must have added some energy to the record , or messed up the energy path created by the needle . All I know is that play sounded better without it The cartridge I used with it , a top of the line shure of that 70's era , had a little hinged carbon fiber brush that contacted the record right in front of the tip and did two things, discharge static, and provide a shock absorbing suspension. Like many others found, that brush contaminated the sound when used , so I leave it in the clicked up, out of contact with the record surface position, since my replacement styli also have a brush. . I would think if a record brush worked well for most people, at the slight cost involved, it would be stuck on a lot of new turntables to provide a competitive advantage . With the reviewer being unclear of how this product improves his sound, my results with another form of static draining carbon bristled brush might indicate that maybe this product works independently of the static removal properties.
