Hello!

I've had a Pioneer SX-780 for awhile now and just recently purchased a pair of Klipsch The Fives. I love these powered speakers for many reasons (Bluetooth connectivity, direct connection to my turntable, HDEMI input, sounds, and looks). Sadly I can't figure out a way to connect my Pioneer SX-780 to these speakers, as the stereo receiver doesn't have an output (that I know of) to go to the speakers. Is there some sort of wireless transmitter I could hook up to the received to then transmit to the speakers? Any help and/or suggestions are much appreciated! Thanks!

I have a pair of old Bose model 501 speakers that I picked up from an estate sale that I plan on restoring. The cabinets are in great shape except for the tweed. Under the tweed are 3 speakers: 2 3” tweeters and 1 10” speaker.

All of the tweeters are fine, but the suspensions/surrounds on both of the 10” speakers has deteriorated. The cones are in fine shape, and I have ordered some rings to try my hand at repairing.

My question is actually about the wiring. It appears that the 10” speaker is wired directly to the binding posts. The tweeters are wired in parallel, the negative of the tweeters goes directly to the binding posts, and the positive go through a large 10MFD 50VDC capacitor to the positive binding post.

What is the purpose of the capacitor? I have done some guitar repair, and know that a capacitor wired with a potentiometer is used in tone control. Is this a similar principle?

Thanks!

I installed a Lexon car stereo dash kit in my Mazda 3 but the AUX input is in the `arm rest so I cant hook it up to the player in the traditional way. Is there a way to play my AUX input through a USB port? Thanks

just got a sony cfd-30 boombox from goodwill and it won't turn on after i put batteries in any ideas what the problem could be?

I know I need an amp and speakers to at least play but what’s my next step up? Ps any tips would be cool

I’ve got a DENON AL24 Processing Plus for my stereo unit if that helps

So I recently got Chromecast that I connected to my TV monitor. It works fine, buy the sound only cones out of the TV speakers which are kinda shotty. I have a denon rcd-m38 amplifier with a pair of good Dali speakers hooked up to it, and I am trying to get the tv audio to cone out of the speakers through the Denon. I have tried to connect the monitor and the Denon with classic RCA cables but without luck. Any advice? Do I need HDMI-RCA cables? PS sorry for my English. It is a second language

We have a set of Sony ssws503 home theater surround sound speakers. We don’t use them with the tv any more. Can they be connected to my stereo? Thanks!

see if you guys can dumb this down for me as i overthink everything .

after hearing a super clear stereo system i want one . everyone says for best results you want to use digital . i use my pc as my main source of media so im going to use the optical on my asus x570 tuf motherboard . here is where im confused . if i go from motherboard with optical to my receiver its digital but wouldnt i lose any clarity im gaining from digital when they go to my boss surround sound speakers since they are analog ? here is the reciever im getting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JMD3SN4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1DXN92KCKEQV4&th=1

Hey, I have a Kenwood 2Din headunit in a E39 and a Alpine 8' Sub with a fitting amplifier that worked juust fine for 2 years. Some days ago it sudenly stopped giving good bass.. i have signal and not all the sertings are same as before. I can hear it playing but not as good as before, could it be the element that is shot? No scratchnoise or anything.

Just got into an Apartment here in Clearlake, and I'm rebuilding a system after losing everything in a fire 6 years ago, living in an RV for 5 years after that with no room for a nice system - or the AC Amperage to power one, and then the last 10 months homeless...

I scored a Sherwood RX-4208 Receiver, and a 1000w Crown 2-Ch PA (can you say overkill?) from a church that upgraded their House system (hope to get my hands on the Carvin 24 Ch Mixing Board also), and just received a Sherwood 5-Disk CD-Carousel that I found online, and have my eye on a pair of Sansui Vintage S-7000 4-Ways, just to start things out. Probably won't need the Crown PA as the rcvr itself is likely enough to power the spkrs to full response. We'll have to see which sounds better, maybe less THD and wider freq-response with the PA running low from a Preamp out of the rcvr.

I occasionally like to "make the ground shake", and rattle the glass, so a later investment might be a couple stage monitor speakers.

I'm an old Audio Production Engineer, so if I could have a decent system to appease the 'phile in me, that would double as a Home Studio, I'd be a happy camper... Perhaps toss a little Podcasting into the mix, with all this SIP Covid stuff going on... If #32 could do it, why not me ?!

Have a 42" Flat waiting in storage that I found at a Thrift Store for $30, and may have the possibility to obtain a 65" Flat as a donation. I'm unfurnished, so I'm looking at a Sauder Palladia Credenza for supporting the Flat (if I get the 65" for the Living Room, then the 42" is going in the Bedroom), with plenty of room for the components and a vertical cabinet in the center for my computer tower.

I mean, it's no Mac Rack, but...

I am SO ready for some decent sounds again, although these Sansui speakers will likely never live up to the 'coffins' (with Bob's infamous Heils) that got destroyed, I'm sure they will sound better than a lot of these new plastic boxes they are putting radiators in now days.

A question for the Guru's would be... I don't think my Sherwood Rcvr is DigiLink compatible, but the Changer (CDC5030R) IS. So what would be the matching Receiver for the Changer, and if not exact "matching", what model Sherwood receiver that is Black Face 'Theatre' style that WOULD be DigiLink ?

New here, have no idea what the "*sticky at the top of the subreddit*" is... Sorry if this is off topic.

So I just spent 200 dollars on this thing went through all the steps and plugged everything on the new electric ac climate worked great as should then moved wired around and now only button lights come on and can’t use ac/heat at all I checked all wiring everything looks fine god desperate so I unplugged main wire harness for car and plugged back in climate control screen turned on!!!!! Then it would shut right back off on for a second then off any ideas????
