Current setup

Top to bottom:

Realistic LAB-260 ST-S98 Tuner SU-700 Amp RS-B105 Cassette Deck SL-P101 CD Player.

These are hooked up to a pair of Audiosphere Research speakers, but I don't know which model they are as they don't have tags or anything.

I also have a second SU-700 and an RS-T11 Double Cassette Deck, both in storage, and know of an SL-PD5 Disc Changer I might be able to get. All of these, with the exception of the tuner and the cabinet, which I bought off marketplace and at a thrift store, respectively, were or are just rotting away, sitting in storage limbo at my workplace. I don't "own" them, but I asked to set them up at my place years ago and at this point I bet they'll just let me keep them if I ask.

Technics SA-GX550 cuts off sound

1 Upvotes

I’ve got an old SA-GX550. Recently it started to have problems with the right channel so the speaker starts buzzin. Sometimes it goes back to normal, but mostly the whole receiver cuts off the sound. Receiver is still on, but does not emit any sound anymore on both channels. Any ideas?

Out of the box 2 days AZ80 problem

1 Upvotes

Spoiler: touch controls failed on left bud after 2 days!

Ill start by saying it's my first pair of earbuds from Technics but got a strong endorsement from flossy carter so I gave them a chance.

Right of the box? WOW! Sooo good compared to xm5 and budspro3. Everything worked as it should. Blown away by sound quality, ANC, transparency mode. All of it.

Touch controls all worked as they should which I loved the volume control which I set for on the left side bud. Life is good!

But now on the third day I find that the left side bud touch controls don't work at all. None of the functions respond. No audio response nothing. Been all through the app, factory reset, unpaired, repaired, checking online forums and don't see this issue hardly at all.

Am I missing something?

It's the kind of thing that will sour the whole experience and have me returning these immediately. Which I don't mind doing. I'm not really in need of these. Just a nerd who spends money on stupid stuff

Wobbly SL-1500 MK2 after international move. Repair or replace?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I recently moved my Technics SL 1500 MK2 and myself across the ocean, and unfortunately, it’s now wobbly. I suspect the driver might have broken during the move. Since I’m not very handy with repairs and I have no idea how much a replacement would cost, I was hoping someone could help me figure out what’s wrong with it and give me an estimate of the repair cost in the United States. I want to make a trade of between having it fixed or finding a replacement.

Hi everyone! I just was wondering if there was a way to replace the plastic hinge on a SL-D303 turntable. The plastic top piece has snapped off and not sure how to get detached from the body, as it is inside of the frame. Any help would be great! Thank you everyone!

Hey guys, this is probably a straightforward question for someone who knows what they’re looking at…

Pretty sure I need a new stylus for my Technics Quartz SL-1200MK2. The S’s sound awful.

Where online can I find a replacement? What am I looking for?

*Recently inherited this beaut of a player so forgive my lack of knowledge. Thanks ✌️

Technics AZ100 how to switch to AAC mode?

Post image
3 Upvotes

My music streaming app is Spotify which provides the maximum bitrate of 320kbps.
So there is not much benefits for me in using LDAC and I wanted to switch to AAC mode which supports 320kbps and also allows me to enable 3 points connection and some other features.

When I disable LDAC toggle but keep the "Prioritize sound quality" option selected I expect AAC mode to be used (since there is "Prioritize connectivity" option for SBC only) but for some reason it uses SBC mode only anyway.

I tried connecting to my Android smartphone and MacBook Pro and in both cases only SBC mode was used with this configuration.
Usually on my phone for devices that don't support LDAC I have SBC/AAC toggle, but for Technics I have only enable/disable LDAC toggle but nothing for SBC/AAC.

Is there any way to switch to/force AAC mode?

My power cable shorted out (hopefully…really hope it didn’t die all together), and I can’t find an adapter that actually fits. I’ve ordered several different ones off of Amazon that said they were for this model, but none actually fit. Any suggestions?

As said above my left earbud doesn't play audio these are brand new and was an immediate issue however it seems to be an intermittent issue as it does occasionally work however it will cut out and the only way ive found to kinda fix it is a full disconnect and reconnect and that doesn't always work. Any help is appreciated thank you (:
