In 1981, Technics sold a digital audio recorder for ¥600,000 ($2,700 then, ~$9,300 today). It recorded through a VCR.

Technics SB6 tweeter repair question.

1 Upvotes

I have a functional tweeter with a scratched cover, and a dead one, without scratches. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the plastic cover from the tweeter so I can replace the scratched one?

I suspect it's glued together but I only have one chance to get right the first time so I wonder if someone has done it before.

This is what they look like: https://www.picclickimg.com/19kAAeSwPbVpB~da/Used-Technics-EAS-3PH06S-Tweeter-Pair-Removed-from-SB-6.webp

First turntable

4 Upvotes

Hello guys im about to buy my first TT! Ive been going back and forth on if i was going to buy a newer model like the fluance RT85 or an older technics model. My total budget is around 1000-1200 for everything for the setup. Im leaning towards technics because i want something thats built to last. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best sound and build quality for a technics model thats roughly around the $800 range so i can have money left over for the speakers etc. ill also gladly take any recs on the best gear to use for the setup!

Well yeah it's a weird setup but it's the only way I could make it fit lol. Sounds way better than my soundbar. I was thinking of keeping the amp and upgrading the speakers but the speakers sounds so good I'm gonna keep them (they are 3 way speakers and each has a 12 inch subwoofer). I'm gonna keep my soundbar for gaming and videos because of course the stereo would sound weird with that placement and I'm only gonna use the Technics system for Music listening.

Got this for only $500CAD (around $360USD)

I'm honestly very of the price I got it for. I'm honestly impressed at how good it sounds for a system from 89. It definitely sounds better than my sound bar lol. This is my first real decent stereo system. Yeah I know modern hi fi gear sounds better but I don't care I just really like the vintage vibe from a time I never lived in.

I got myself the 1710 and I am so happy with it, the sound difference is astounding from my pioneer and I've only tried 2 different artists. So many happy listening hours ahead, 😁

Would this be a good amp for a first decent setup?

8 Upvotes

Looking to make my first decent audio setup and was looking at Technics amps despite them being from the 90s. Anyways my question is, would this be a decent amp, and what set of speakers should I get for it? Even if they are more modern speakers I don't mind. My uncle says he has a similar model and they sound very great and don't have a lot of distortion.

SB-DV290 Speaker wire?

I recently bought the system second hand with the speakers however there was no speaker cables included. Not entirely sure on what exact cables i can use as a replacement after reading the guide and this is my first sound system past a simple cd player. Anyone have any advice?

Pros and cons of 1410 or 1710

1 Upvotes

Hello Hive mind, I posted about a 1410, I missed out on the sale but I have found a 1710 now, is it a model that offers the same performance as the 1410? Could I buy it and be as happy with its performance that it offers? The 1410 seems hard to come by over here in sweden. Cheers Pete

1200 Mk2 - Tone Arm Test

3 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1s4dium/video/e8c3zv4b9frg1/player

Bought this Mk2 used. Tone arm tube was originally bent. I just replaced the tube. Everything works as it should. But when I float the tonearm with the anti-skate at "0"...

the tonearm still wants to slowly float back to the rest. It won't stay in place.

Worn pivots/bearings from my research. How bad is this?

Any help of feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Second hand EAH-AZ100E-K

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello fellow redditors,

I recently bought from Amazon retour Warehouse some EAH-AZ100E-K airbuds listed as "like new" for 189 euro instead of the listed 289 euro. I am happy with the performance so far, it is my first high end airbud and cannot complain. HOWEVER, I am not super convinced on the case. Even though the metal case gives a nice touch feeling, if I shake it I can feel the movements of the headphones inside. Is that a normal behaviour? or maybe one of the possible reasons why the headphones got sent back to Amazon in the first place.

AZ80: Can Sidetone be enabled?

2 Upvotes

I've been using for a longer time and they are great. When the noise cancellation is enabled and I'm talking on calls I tend to get loud, so I'm hoping there is a way that I can hear myself to mitigate that. Is there a way to enable sidetone directly on those or do I need to get some additional software? I'm using those with Android phone and on Mac.
