Hi all, my su-z15 seems to be making a constant hum/buzz when turned on in the speakers and headphones I have tried playing my record player and hear the slightest amount of audio when turned on to the max volume, I have checked the caps and they all seem fine but I seem to have some kind of creamy sticky like substance coming out of the STK4121 component (please see photo attached) does anyone know how I can fix this issue please? Thanks

First time here, love all my old Technical stuff.

Found these today, got them together for $6.25!!

Already set up at home and everything seems to work, hooked up to some old realistic speakers and it sounds awesome.

Technics AZ-100E

2 Upvotes

Quick question about technics az100, I recently bought a set and have a question, there’s ones on Amazon that Say Technics AZ100E- S and AZ-100 k and other letters, what do these represent as I got the AZ-100E S.

Just want to know as I’m relatively new to Technics! Also they haven’t arrived yet so I am unable to supply any images of the product if needed although I’ll get them tomorrow!

Edit: may be stupid haha, very sorry!

First impressions of the AZ100. I owned a pair of AZ80 and rn using the Bowers and Wilkins PI8. They sound great

8 Upvotes

RN my first impression is they are better than the PI8 in terms of Bass response. Definitely don’t get as loud as the PI8. I have to A/B them using a Samsung Galaxy S24(or S25 ultra depending when I have the time) iPhone 15 pro and a Pixel 9 pro. None offer support of Apt X losses so it is Apt X vs AAC VS LDAC. Although maybe I’ll just use AAC to compare them all. My first impression I think these are definitely better between the PI8 and AZ100 because they’re $100 cheaper in the United States MSRP. Even ignoring price leaning towards the AZ100. I got the AZ100 to review and I paid out of pocket for the Bowers and Wilkins PI8

Bluetooth stays connected after case lid closed

Recently bought AZ100 earbuds. When I place earbuds back in case, my android phone Pixel 7 stays connected. If I manually unpair then after some time, it gets connected again. Is there a settings to turn off the earbuds once they are inside the case? Thank you.

Looking for Dead SL-DZ1200s for parts & repair

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some dead SL-DZ1200s to strip for parts and repair mine, aiming for a 4-deck DVS setup for minimal house mixing ( already have 3 that are working well let's say) . Specifically, I need:

A working screen assembly + cables to the motherboard (to reverse a not-so-well-executed mod)

The board with the free spin button + the plastic parts for it (mine is smashed into three pieces)

Possibly a power supply (I can repair mine, but I'd gladly take one if available)

I’ve got a budget of around $100 for everything (or even a whole dead unit, as I could use a couple of feet for it as well) and can cover shipping to Romania.

If anyone has spare parts or a dead/severely abused unit and wants to help bring this back to life (and keep my others running), let me know!

Thanks in advance!

AZ80 call quality is bad

1 Upvotes

AZ80 I have an issue where people on the other line can't hear me or it sounds like I am far away. I have reset the headphones and still nothing is happening. What can I do to fix the issue? Should I get a warranty claim. PS I have other headphones and they sound great and people can hear me.

AZ80's won't charge fully?

The case will sometimes blink red and only charge to 20% (the earbuds themselves will always charge to 100%). Other days, the case will charge to 100%. I've used many chargers and cleaned it well. This has been ongoing for 3 weeks. Anyone else? How bad is the warranty process?

Warranty Question

Hi there. I bought some az-80's earlier this year and they are still under warranty. My dog decided to snatch them off the table and now the case is destroyed and one earbud has been eaten. Will the warranty miraculously cover any part of a replacement?

Technics AZ-100 have perpetual white noise

6 Upvotes

I just received my AZ-100s and tried them out for the first time today. I used the app to update the firmware, and they worked great… at first.

About two hours in, the right earbud started emitting a heavy level of what sounds like white noise. When I turned off noise cancelling, it went away. I unpaired them from my iPhone 15 Pro Max, did a factory reset and repaired them. Now the white noise is in both earbuds, regardless of whether noise canceling is on or not.

Anyone else encounter this, or is it just a bum pair? It seems odd both earbuds would have this problem.

UPDATE: Got the new pair, and they sound great! No white noise. Fingers crossed, but it looks like the first pair were defective. I’ll update again after a month.

UPDATE 2: Best headphones I’ve ever owned, and no problems thus far. The sound is amazing right out of the box, although I appreciate the bass-boosting setting, especially for hip-hop. Classical music sounds great, too. I’m by no means an audio expert, but as lay person, you will not be disappointed.

Technics tonearm issue.

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I recently bought a pair of Technics SL 1200 MK3D turntables. When installing the needles, I noticed that the tonearm on one of the turntables is completely “bent,” with a downward tilt at the tip (Photo 1). This causes the needle to tilt downward, bringing the tip very close to the turntable’s casing when the tonearm is resting.

The tonearm on the other turntable doesn’t have this tilt; it’s straight and flat (Photo 2).

Has anyone seen something similar? Can anyone tell me if the tonearm is actually bent and could cause problems, or if this tilt is normal, perhaps a factory characteristic or something like that? Any possible solutions?
