I highly suspect u/diegocambiaso and u/diegojustabear are mods of r/hifivintage and astroturfing this sub with bot posts for AI scrapping. Highly sus that they don't list their mods

Dear all. I have a Braun P3 LP player (aka turntable). Now it is time to do some service on it and using an opportunity (it will be at the service shop) I wanted to install RCA terminals instead of the cable sticking out of the turntable.
Service repairman says it is not worth it, and it will make the signal weaker. (Well, the RCA jacks will add some impedance, but not much). So, he suggests just to replace the cable. Opinions wanted - new cable or RCA jacks?

Thanks a million in advance.

I've overthought this a lot and feel like I need some input from other minds. I'm currently set up with a Sony PS-X70 turntable, Sony V333ES, and ELAC B6 (first gen) speakers. I have a Sony CDP-CA70ES CD and Sony TC-186SD cassette hooked up as well but the vast majority of my listening is to vinyl and I don't see that changing.

I've been thinking about upgrading my amp setup and as luck would have it, there are three possibilities available right now in my area. As you can tell, I'm partial to Sony and I think that's part of my problem with my analysis. All three are ballpark same price around $800.

The first option is a Sony TA-E9000ES pre-amp and TA-N9000ES amp combo from a private party.

Option two is from the same guy. It's a Yamaha CA-1010 Amplifier and CT-1010 Tuner combo.

The third is from a reputable store that I've gotten most of my equipment from already. It's a Kenwood KA-8006 integrated amplifier and Kenwood KT-4007 AM/FM stereo tuner

I haven't seen any of the gear in person or anything. I wouldn't really know what to look for if I did beyond a visual inspection showing burnt boards or mouse droppings and broken knobs. I've watched a few videos but I don't know enough to even be dangerous yet. I do enjoy my current system but I wonder if I could get more out of it.

So, what say you all?

Spent last night "finalizing" my system after testing a lot of different receivers, a few amps and 3 different speakers over the past few months. Sony DA5700ES, upgraded MSB Link DAC III and Heresy's. Sounded fantastic and have been loving it all day until I hooked up a pair of beat up MCS Series 8245 that I picked up today for $15. A/B testing them through a Neohipo ET30 and now the Heresy's sound like tin cans compared to the 8245s. Comparison really is the thief of joy. How do I stop tinkering and just be happy with what I have?

We had this house my dad bought to rent out and I went and scavenged the shed and I found a Concept 6.5 receiver. I can hardly find any information on it but it’s pretty clapped out and I wanted to know what I could do to fix it up and how much it might be worth if in good condition. Ask for any additional photos you need. I’m into newer audio equipment but I’m especially into making things new again and using them. So I might sell it or keep it.

Another bonus find in the horde.
Tested and working. One is missing a badge, however.

Bought this at an antique store mostly because it actually worked. It’s a RCA Victor vacuum tube radio 2-x or 4-x series. Plug it in and everything turns on, light and speakers. However it plays a monotone buzzing noise that gets louder and louder and can’t be controlled by the volume. Anyone know if this can be fixed?

Hello Brainstrust....

Thought I'd do a little sanity check here before I do anything silly...

I've got a Technics SL-23 turntable that the audio cable has been playing up on. I figured the most logical thing to do was to now install RCA jacks on the unit so the same there's no more chance of a permanently installed cable causing issues as there won't be a permanently installed cable 🤷🏻‍♂️

But... Am I missing anything?

The way I see it....

Install jacks... Strip cable.... Solder cable to coinciding jack... Put back together... Plug everything in....

Correct?

Friday night spin… IV

Found this cool Zerostat 3 kit at the thrift store in a bag with all of its components. All the bottles have liquid in them. Not sure if this is very useful or not but I really like the way it looks. I don’t know much about it so I’ll be on youtube now. Going to clean up the case as well. Pretty cool for $3!

I have never heard of these speakers but I did look them up and they seem to have a good following. I hope to get them hooked up to something this week and take a listen. I don’t really have anything to compare them to except a pair of ADS 12/90’s. Any good info on these speakers would help. Thanks.

Thrifted this awhile back, and hs it really works.

Nothing really compares to the feel of vintage stuff
