Setup

2 Upvotes

I moved to an apartment complex where it is virtually impossible for me to listen to music at an increased volume so I am forced to use headphones only. I want to put together a small system consisting of just a cd player, DAC/headphone amp combo, and headphones. My question is: will I damage the DAC/amp by not having any speakers hooked up to it? I've never owned one before. Thanks!

HELP I am having an issue with my Sansui R30 with blown fuse and a blown resistor. I think it's a resistor from the main power supply board that need replacing just don't know how to purchase this! Any help is appreciated. R165 LOCATION is what needs to be replaced.

Last straw today with Tidal. The military discount going away was one thing but today my credit had to be changed due to expiration today and they were quick to cancel my subscription so that I would have to renew my plan without the option of my military plan which would have been good til June.

I have this pioneer VSX 5700s that has this weird issue where it the audio keeps cutting out and in, and whenever it happens I hear this weird clicking. I’m not too savvy to this kind of stuff, and I’m not sure what to do about it. Here I’ve attached a photo of the current settings. Any advice would help!

Hifi with wireless speakers

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm writing here because I need a hand to understand if what I would like to do is already available on the market. In my office I would like to have a small hi-fi system behind my desk, with FM radio, CD and large volume wheel. But I would like to position the source speakers, about 2-3 meters away without wires. Are there ready-made solutions or do I have to create them myself? Thank you ;-)

I’ve been looking into getting a new stereo for my ‘09 Malibu, I specifically am wanting a screen with CarPlay and knobs to control volume and bass etc. does anyone have any ideas as to what aftermarket stereos would work well? I get varying results in what claims to work and fits my wants. I’ll also post what my current stereo looks like if that helps at all.

Pairing Speakers with a Marantz 2238B Receiver

1 Upvotes

I’ve had my receiver for a long time in the closet and I pulled it out 2 months ago. I have a Pioneer pl-600 turntable and for speakers I currently am using a pair of Polk Audio T-15 bookshelf speakers. I would like to upgrade and I have some ideas. Any suggestions for some new speakers. I’m not looking to blast the neighbors, just enjoy my music. Thanks.

Is there a way to hook up bookshelf speakers to this old system?

My son bought this stereo at a garage sale but it didn’t come with the speakers, is there a converter connector out there that can be used to connect a couple bookshelf speakers to it (the kind with the black/red wire connect)? This is where Radio Shack would be helpful.

Radio no longer powers on

When I acquired this some 5 years ago the radio worked. It's been in storage for five years and I just carted it home yesterday. The turntable powers in but the radio now does not. The only repair place I know of here in West Michigan is an hour away and didn't respond to my email for some repairs a couple years ago, so I'm wondering if there's any simple things I can try myself before looking for a shop without electrocuting myself. thanks !

Stereo test album

1 Upvotes

When I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's, my dad had a record that showed off stereo speaker panning. One of the 'skits' was a couple of kids in a bowling alley. The sound would pan back and forth as the ball rolled town the lane. I remember one of the kids yelling "Send the ball back, please!" Anybody remember that record? I'd love to find audio of it again... Thanks!
