You done good, son !

Walsh ohm 2 speakers, found in the trash, connected to a marantz receiver and you have a winning combination.

Ich habe einen direktgetriebenen Vollautomaten von 1977: WEGA P555. Mit Goldring E 3 Nadel.

Just think of all the music that has been played by that juke box amplifier! Great show and tell. Thank you.

Nice restore and it looks amazing and sound great. I have a Lab 400 and 420 I need to do some maintenance on and your video will help. Thank you

Our first 'real' turntable was/is a Dual 1019 in a flip-top wooden case case. I recently purchased its twin and looking forward to getting it back in use. DW has a huge collection of lawn-sale 78's she's anxious to hear, We got our first B&O turntable when the 4004 came out in 1978. The only 'repairs' it’s needed? A replacement drive belt for the tonearm in 1998. The MavGyver fix was the entrance end of a condom, (still gripping today). The other was a drive belt for the platter, OEM was/is available. I've used a Soundsmith cartridge since 1985. SMMC20L+. I recently bought another 4004 (A Soundsmith 'The Voice' will be used. As you can tell, I love the 4004 and Soundsmith, but a disclaimer is needed, I'm no expert, just a loose association of my own thoughts. “It sounds like bacon smells”, Bonnie describing her vintage 1965 Stratocaster Bob

All my old records were wiped out by flood waters long ago. Never bought cds. No way am I buying new vinyl. Digital all the way.

i like cassete deck and enjoy - CARVER & NAKAMICHI LX-5 VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL SOUND TO MAKE RILEX - NOW I AM 67 YEARS OLD - NO PROBLEM WITH CASSETE DECK😄💝

I have a Sonos surround sound system setup in my den for music and video entertainment. Have Sonos speakers through out the house. The problem is I grew up when these receivers/systems were king. I always get nostalgic when watching these videos about vintage receivers and find myself wanting to get one. But, then I have to ask myself other than the beautiful dial face and exquisite looks a vintage receiver would bring to my den would it be better than what I already have. I just don't know. First world problem.

long as u know thats all that matters its the music cheers

Wait a minute! you built your tube amps,so clearly you know something about electronics,you mean to tell me,you don't know how to make you're own interconnects?

I glad that you mentioned 7591 power amplifier output tubes. Both of my tube amplifiers use four of the 7591 tubes in their output stages (McIntosh MC225 power and The Fisher x202B integrated). I love the sound these two amplifiers make. Just beautiful! Neither amplifier will play loud but they will provide palpable bass response at normal 60-70 db listening levels. I use a Vinnie Rossi LIO as a preamp and vintage JBL L100s as loudspeakers.

Yes, you should be able to get a refund on your Wife.

Just bought a Magnavox 169 aa yesterday where do i start?

memories of the way it was

Nice talk on records and their meaning to you. I’m sure many people have a similar relationship to their music collection. Alongside the record care tips presented here; I think it is important to keep records in a stable atmospheric environment having constant temperature and normal humidity. A moist environment will cause musty smells on record jackets. Mold will grow on the surface of vinyl records kept in wet atmospheres. I do keep my records in plastic cover sleeves. But - I am concerned that the plastic sleeves may trap moisture in contact with records and alow mold to grow. It might be a good idea to take a close look at cartridge styli under a microscope every now and then checking for wear and/or damage. Joe Collins has some very good talks on his TH-cam channel with graphic picture examples of various stylus shapes. Joe explains how certain stylus shapes are best and safest for certain types of records. For example; styrene 45s should be played with elliptical shape styli not fine line stylus shapes.

There is a great film called Desperate Man Blues (2003) about the 78 rpm record enthusiast, Joe Bussard. Joe played his records with at a big long tone arm Technics turntable with a slider for adjusting pitch (speed) on the fly. Joe stated that many records were not recorded/manufactured at the specified speed. He knew his collection of nearly 10,000 records so well that he could adjust the pitch (speed) of record being played as needed when listening. There are so many variables that could impact the pitch of recordings along the recording, mixing, manufacturing and playback chain that I personally don’t worry too much about one or two percent speed irregularities of my turntables. Both of my tables have pitch (speed) control sliders that I have never used. They might come in handy for certain recordings if only my ears and brain could notice an issue with pitch. Thank you for bringing this subject to the forefront and thus quality presentation.

I luv watching folks struggle trying to read something they've written down and make it sound interesting 😂 thats why you'll always find me in the kitchen at party's 🎉

Great video! I own a 70's Rosita T6500 set with a Dual 1214 full automatic record player. I restored the set over a 5 month period. I really enjoy putting on a record on a lazy sunday afternoon and listen to some old jazz or blues. So it's vintage for me.

I grew up listening to my dad's Garrard semi-manual, LaFayette amp and tuner and EMI speakers. My first records were 'Sing along with the Chipmunks' and 'Christmas with the Chipmunks', which I still have, complete with crayon scribble on the sleeves. I still have the Technics SLD-202, and the Onkyo TA-630D cassette deck that I bought in college (late 70s). They survived 9 Navy/personal moves and I just finished replacing belts and a few bulbs in the tape deck. Phonograph's been fine all along. I still have 200+ records I've acquired over the years, and a bunch of my dad's, all in near perfect condition!

My first recordplayer is a Philips portable stereo recordchanger type Philips 22GF245 from 1967 and i still used it , but i have for HiFi devices an Akai ATT05USB turntable , and i have a Dual 1224 to

I was a AKAI man reel to reel cassette deck turntable wharfdale speakers wish I never got rid of all of it, Just bought a Sony TC133 used I hope it works OK? Thanks for your thoughts

My everyday audio gear is a ReVox B780 without a dial face. Inside B780 the space was mostly reserved to FM tuner (with Dolby capability as an option) just as a ReVox FM tuner B760.

I bought a 1975 Technics SL-1300 and Rebuilt it. It turned out Fantastic, And I also put an NOS Stanton 881s/D81s II on it. I will keep this jewel.

Very helpful information here especially around 18 minutes in. Thank you.

Years ago I ripped my 1000+ cd collection on hard disk. I find that I have little emotional attachment to the physical disks although I still have them. In fact I like sitting at my computer and clicking through Foobar2000 playlists, Spotify and TH-cam.

I only by cd players from the future. 31st century. The future retro future ones.

I’m so glad I found you. It’s so nice so nice listen to self effacing humer along with tech knowledge to make your points. Do what you must with your equipment, but don’t loose your mind and listeners at the expense of end product. You’re a joy to watch and listen to.

I bought the following turntables in the last 2 years in order: an MCS $40, Technics SL1200MK2 $660, another SL1200MK2 $300 no head shell a month later, a Dual 246 $40, a Sansui SRxx $20 no head shell, a Pioneer PL500 $150, a Pioneer PL?? $60, B&O 7000 $330, a Marantz 660 for $650, a Technics SL1200mk2 $10 needs work, Pro-ject Perspex $1000, Lynn Sondek LP12 $1100 a Denon DJ $20 no head shell and needs work, another Denon DJ from Ebay arrived broken so it was free, a Gerard $30. I either sold or traded everything except for the mint Technics SL1200mkii for $660 and the Gerard. At some point I will sell the Gerard.

Not everything from the 70s and 80s was good.

I made a great many "mixed tapes" from this deck when I was 16. My dad gave this one away when he upgraded to a CT-F750. I really didn't understand tape decks back then. There was no "Dummies" book for these things, only audio magazine articles where they assumed you knew what the hell they were talking about. If I only knew then what I know now.

Are you drunk and drink not so much genwine

my boy has that tape deck he saves them ...me i am a reel to reel guy

Nice List I love cultisoraus erectis by BOC and the Metallica alblum is very good the other bands no clue I do remember in the Navy my good buddy loved Social D and Primus I thought he was crazy but I did end up liking Primus ,Sublime and other alternatives bands yeah in those days there were punk guys metal guys new wave guys etc I’m glad now days I can enjoy Jazz and rock and not have to hide my Donald Byrd behind my Supertramp or be ashamed that I like disco lol. Great video

Isn’t streaming affected by internet availability. My internet gets sketchy during peak hours.

Most of the Adcom tuners suffer from open trimmer capacitors in the front end . An easy fix .

the 2amp diodes are obsolete - use the 3amp ?

Why are all modern receivers just a black box? They are ugly. Receivers from the 70’s were beautiful. Something special.

Wondering if you can comment on your experience with Yamaha's loudness control and if that is a useful feature to be able to adjust the loudness profile?

have a 2235b and sx-727 . prefer the pioneer over all

I live in a large urban area and listen to several radio stations. All of them non-profit except for one all news station. Among some of those stations tho', the FM antenna is usually the weak link.

I'm still using my Technics SL-Q3 that I got in 1981, with a Technics Receiver and Speakers.

ABSOLUTELY, I own 3 vintage TTs, Yamaha DD, Technics DD, and a BIC 980, they've always worked for me, but then I'm not a beginner.

The original Sony PSI is still my favorite CD player. I’ve owned many higher end CD players over the years but the original PSI still sounds the warmest and most musical of them. Add a PS2 remote to it and one is all set.

I did, and they're amazing,

Try British amplifiers. Small and super strong. Like Cyrus 8 VS 2 +PSX-R. Forget about that smelly, messy, old, boxy, ugly, mass produced, vintage garbage. Discover the real HiFi.✌️

Finally someone sane in this genre. Cheers brother, like your straight to the point thoughts. Many others are acting like infantile clown, while talking about HiFi. Impossible to listen.

😂😂❤ you sounded so honest yet funny with sips of liquor between the recollection of despair moments 😂😅

I run a pair of Design Acoustics D2 and D6. Most new speakers just don't sound as good.

Soni cds players have a history of bad Lazer and hard to reaper
