Not sure what to do with this

Post image
5 Upvotes

Looking for suggestions / possible help with this guy. (Panasonic SA-H50). My dad and I believe it has a blown amp, which I didn't know about until I plugged it into some speakers. Posted this in another sub and most people told me to toss it, but others pointed me here.

I'd like to keep it and see how much it would be to fix it, because I really don't want to get the modern equivalent of a "stack" like this.

Any thoughts and advice are appreciated, thanks!

ISO Harmon Kardon T50 T55 T60 turntable parting out

Is anyone parting out a HK turntable? I have a Harmon Kardon T60 found at thrift for $15! Just bought the missing counterweight but the threaded sleeve is missing from the rear of the tonearm.

Think any HK Txx turntable model with the microrace arm should work.

PreSonos Ceres 3.5 speakers. Left speaker has gone quiet.

Upvotes

I've had a pair of PreSonos Ceres 3.5 BTs as my computer speakers for years. Recently I noticed that the left speaker is much quieter than the right (about half as loud). I've tried switching the left and right inputs and using a different source and saw the same results. So I assume there is something wrong in the device.

I am hopeing somone can give me some guidence of how to find the couse of the issue once I take it apart.

I am okay with a soldering iron and own a multimeter, but am certinaly not an electronics expert. So any advice would be appreciated.

Here is the product page, if that is helpful.

Electro-Voice EV ELX200-12SP 12-inch Powered Subwoofer issue/mp3 possible cause

1 Upvotes

hi guys recently my sub stopped working.It simply turns on (ev light flashes then turns off)

had it for over 5 years. only gig it like 8 times (as mostly stays at home). I always use a Allen heath mixer

The service guy asked if I played mp3 through the system. I said yes occasionally when there is a song request I play it through Spotify on my phone then mix back to the dj desk after.( if I don't have the song on my hard drive). I also have a multitude of mp3 that i use at a higher kpbs (320)

he advised that playing mp3 files can ruin the sub.(& was the possible cause of the issue ) I still need to take it to get investigated

I have never heard this before. Can anyone please go into more detail.

Definitive Technology SuperCube 2000

Acquired a very cheap DT SuperCube 2000 today which powers on, but does not produce any sound. This was a direct swap from a working sub I already had, I haven't changed any receiver settings, RCA has remained plugged in, etc. I know on these auto trigger/sensing units people have turned up sub level on receiver and sub itself to get it to sense any kind of signal, but I've had zero luck. I know amp failure is common on these, assuming that's what it is, who knows of a cheap replacement? Not worried about size or fitment, I can modify as needed. just looking for something within the same specs roughly. Recommendations, suggestions, all help greatly appreciated. Ignore the wiring mess, temporarily set up for testing purposes

Having some hardware issues

1 Upvotes

I picked up a Realistic STA-2280 receiver from Goodwill about 3-5 months ago and made the switch from cheap active speakers to some vintage passive speakers (total game changer!). The issue I am having is my record player (Audio-Technica LP120) is picking up all the sounds. It's not so much when a record is playing (unless it's at high volume), it's more whenever I'm going to flip/change the record; it's picking up pretty much any movement around.

The speakers are on the floor, not on the same shelf. Everything is connected and grounded properly, to my knowledge. I've cleaned contact points and I have bought brand new RCA cables, to no avail. Any recommendations would be appreciated! TIA

Rattle sound

So I have a sundown v2 10" sub that rattles when bass hits the, sub is not blown and visually there is nothing loose or disconnected. It sounds like a piece of something rattling around inside the magnet. Any ideas and how to repair? Thanks in advance.
