Perfecto y hermoso lo oiamos desde niños no me explicaba como el am recibía en México estaciones de estados unidos mi le entendíamos pero se oye formidablee
My brother and I purchased new Pioneer receivers at the same time back in the 70's. I got an SX-950 and my brother went for the big SX-1250. Five years ago I got mine rebuilt and he left his alone. We are both in agreement that the rebuilt 950 now sounds much, much better than his 1250. I feel more confident than he does that mine will last another 30-40 years.
Thanks for the videos - a lot of work for sure, and very helpful! Something that would make it even more helpful is for you to slow down, way down, on the disassembly part in Part 1. There are a lot of chassis parts to remember how to put back once they're apart and, given the age of these guys, not everything fits as a factory fresh unit did, I'm sure. Thanks!
For years, I’ve been an avid reader of WhatHifi. I bought into a few of their favourites before I realised the trends. It’s not independent journalism, it’s a highly corrupt and greedy industry, especially in the UK. I’ve enjoyed my basic Marantz amp more than the Cyrus at several times the price. The KEF and Acoustic Energy speakers sounded ordinary. My Pioneer home cinema system was nothing special. I feel sorry for people who spent thousands, rather than hundreds based on reading subsidised reviews. You could still buy older kit second-hand at a fraction of the price, even a few years after release. Imagine owning the same kit but at third or quarter of the price. The whole electronics market is a con.
I mostly agree with everything you said. Such has been my experience too! That said, I wanted to reply (way too late) to the question that was submitted regarding the Ohm Walsh 2000 speakers. My experience was that they sounded a bit disappointing in a large living room/great room. Just overly “thin”, but that was significantly improved with Dirac room correction and a bump of the bass curve. However, when I eventually relocated them into my bedroom, they suddenly sounded absolutely glorious (no equalization needed)! Just an amazing transformation, merely from being in a different and smaller room.
"Controversy"? An autotransformer is by definition not isolated. If there is an additional component that is an isolation transformer, and it's isolated. Nothing could possibly be controversial about it.
I can't find a switch outlet as you've described in your video. I ordered from your Amazon shop and the outlet I received has two brass screws on one side and a green ground and then it has a brass and silver screw on the other side. None of the screws are next to the switch and there are no black screws
Extraordinary description. I've seen various videos explaining the superhet receiver, this is the best one! I understood the variable capacitor function finally. Thanks!
What if my house installation only have 2 wire, live and neutral ? Is this the cause, why my pc sometimes give me shock when i touch the case? Because i manage to open my pc psu and find out theres 2 blue safety cap in main connector
I just recently purchased a pair of Cornwall IV 's. Over the years I've owned many high end speakers. Now I can afford them I will not be buying anymore. Words cannot describe the Awesome sound they reproduce.
Thanks for this video, especially disassembling the module! I was a bit surprised by the damage to the module in shipping. Sorry Ohm, that didn't happen in shipping so either our presenter here is lying or Ohm is and I'm siding with the presenter. Ohm - FAIL. Also for the price of this upgrade Ohm should have created a plate that adapts the new module to the cabinet and enables the screws to bite into the thicker part of the particle board. This was a poorly thought out part of the upgrade. Ohm - FAIL
Do have one question. In older tube radios they use a wax capacitor I have one that is a .047 at 200 volts. Can a disc. cap. replace this type of cap.? if so what value would you use?
All I gotta say you’re brave if you do it on a 1990 cassette tape because it’s not like they’re still making them but the rarity of original tapes from the 1990s or before it’s just priceless. Minus one from the history collection

I'm completely new to this and while I'm searching for equipment and I see lots of people saying all amps are the same I'm curious to see/know what amp people own. I mean, I'm sure most people will not own any kind of amp, but I most be wrong. With that said, if all amps sound the same, which one should I buy?
I've been in the hobby for almost 40 years, and I never do any of those things. Hot chassis sets are perfectly safe, as long as they are used as the manufacturer intended; all knobs present, back cover on, etc
have you tried to make a tube amp with paper wax capacitors and compare the sound? The sound is different and there's no capacitor that sound better than those old paper ones. Try it before making conclusion, and give it to listen to someone who has ears. It can be that ppl who used to listen to modern crap lost their ability to hear. Like making an analogy you won't hear and distinguish any difference in Chinese tones, but for someone who grew up hearing tones the difference is so dramatic that different tones means absolutely different words. But if you listen to them you wouldn't notice any difference until you got familiar with those sounds a lot
Capacitors can also be used as filters whereas the capacitance value affects the frequencies that it will allow to pass. Think of capacitors in a crossover network, for example. The line capacitors use a capacitance value that creates a high-pass filter. So, the low 60Hz frequency of the line AC is blocked.
I used to listen to a lot of AM radio back in the 60s play the American pit parade station they were good there wasn't many talk stations but the hit play stations was good the echo effect on WABC and wmca couldn't wait to get to New York city I'm listening to wmca 570
Hi bro I have 25 yrs old panasonic cassete my Mom marriage was in it. Can you help me how I connect to you. In the casseste some white particles are freezed.
This is a perfect example of the power of the internet. No matter how insane you might think your idea is, there is someone on the other side of the planet who is either thinking the same thing or is doing it. Thanks for the video. I have been wondering how I am going to fit speakers inside the head of a mannequin for my robot. After watching this, I have decided to place them where the ears should be.
I have this same receiver. It was working well until just recently. All of a sudden, there is a very loud buzzing noise coming out of speakers when the receiver is turned on. This is true whether speakers are plugged into A or B ports, with different speaker cables, with different speakers, and when headphones are plugged into the front jack. It is also true whether or not we are trying to play music through any of the various input ports (tuner, CD, etc.). I suspect something in the receiver broke and needs to be replaced. Any ideas what might need to be replaced or how to diagnose? Thanks!
I would like to add a caveat to your final analysis of this unit. I certainly would not expect this unit to meet/exceed the original ratings/specifications stated when it was originally built. Please, let us be fair, and consider the age of the components and the lack of care that it has received over the last approximately 40 years. I'd say the old girl is doing quite well considering. Wouldn't you? Thanks for reviving this unit and keeping it out of the landfill!
I will never understand why otherwise great content creators almost always feel the need to use the most obnoxious music possible, thus sending viewers running away, when NO MUSIC would be a much better option… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
