Ciao Classic HiFi Reviews. Complimenti. Ho ricevuto da un mio anziano zio un impianto stereo vintage (1978) che da molti anni non usa più. Non si ricorda nemmeno più i collegamenti tra piatto, piastra a cassette e amplificatore. Posso chiederti, per favore, come si collega la piastra Technics RS 615 all'amplificatore ? Sul retro della piastra ci sono le connessioni OUT e IN. Ciascuna presenta l'attacco Right e Left. Sull'amplificatore, un Akay AM 2400, ci sono le connessioni per TAPE1 e per TAPE2. Ognuna di queste presenta gli attacchi Right e Left per 'REC'e Right e Left per 'PLAY'. Spero tanto in una tua cortese e competente risposta. Antonio
8:40 A little bit late, but could you use silicon oil for plastics and rubber? Not the common one? Regular oil disperses in the rubber and many plastics and causes harm. Or even turn rubber to goo. There is special rubber that does not interact with regular oil, but I bet it is not in the cassette decks.
Timestamp 4:04 shoulda said, "...main purpose is to improve sound... Let me throw some ABBA on the turntable... Ummm... Nope! Doesn't work!" "Ain't no way to improve that." 🤪
I have the SL-J1 myself and did the following: gave a temporary leg to the 45RPM adapter, replaced the cartridge, and installed a belt. Gotta get a preamp so it'll have better audio output vs plugging them directly to my sound bar. Gotta fix the buttons since they seem to act up. I only paid $22.99 for the record player and $51 for parts. Going to get a 3-D printed 45RPM adapter soon (I have a buddy who has a 3-D printer) for a good price.
Hello, at minute 2:45,you see the cassette loading. My cassette loading motor turns,but the cassette is not loaded inside ( i have to push it by hand). What could it be? Thanks, Orlando.
Heard about that spring on idle tire, just too temperamental of a machine for me. 1 came up for sale on CL. chickened-out, seller claimed new belts but seem so far from the truth from his limited pics.
I appreciate that this is an old video, but the pinch roller could be 'roughed up' via careful 'sanding' while the roller is in PLAY mode. Clean periodically with IPA or even acetone, although careful with the latter dripping on to some plastics. I used folded grit paper held with forceps, holding it evenly across the roller. It works unless the roller's rubber is 'shot'. Good photography here, very clear.
Good work, especially tuning BLE, because I have err problem on my ct630. But, if I tune BLE to those tracks with error, will it be able to tune other tapes?
It is even more effective if you own a high end turntable with an acrylic platter. I have an older Rega with an English made acrylic platter (heavy by acrylic types). The more the record is pressed against the acrylic (weight), the more effect you receive. The back ground is darker, the bass is more pronounced, and the highs are clearer. You're talking about a $1000 turntable with $125 English made acrylic platter for the Rega. I have taken it off and returned the original platter, but the music is noticeably less detailed. With the platter, the records and platter meld into one, with no ringing.
It’s the MC cartridge that needs the extra boost for the signal before going into phono stage. The MM just goes into normal phono stage. SL-7 and SL-10 are a technical marvel but hard to fix. The J series are little better/easier to fix but does not have the record clamp.
Sorry I think this is a self explanatory question but I just wanted to make sure before I buy replacement hinges for the dust cover, I have everything except the clips that hold them on. If I buy replacement hinges do they just slide into the black metal piece on the back of the turntable? Thank you for your help.
There are only 2 belts needing changed, one for the tone arm scan and one for the lift / drop, It was quite easy! The turntable is direct drive so no belt required. I have just done this job today and i am so delighted to get my 40 year old Awia fully functioning again and giving it to my son to enjoy!. Wonderful engineering and very advanced for 1984
The fit on the spindle will vary from table to table as all are not machined to exactly the same size, but the minute amount of play makes absolutely zero difference in how it performs, its a non-issue. The main benefits of these is to reduce surface resonance of the record and to a lesser degree help with minor warping - I have a few different weights and I decided not to use the heavier ones on my belt drive Harmon Kardon as its a bit harder on the belt, I also have settle mainly on the weight youre using here and for warped records I have a record clamp from record doctor, works like a dream to flatten and dampen the record
Radio waves also affect the area around the sound head.Since the sound head terminals are visible, you can reduce noise by making and installing a shield cover.
What id like to know is why the 400 and 500 series have the most incredible stereo separation of any of these decks. My CR1A and 2A come close.. As well as my Harman Kardon CD491 deck. So intriguing to me.
Hi I have the same deck that plays slow .. is it possible to adjust the speed with a screw on the motor or another way?.. thanks .. I saw in your video that you opened a hole to the motor to lubricate it? Thanks
wd40 for the cap glue, it should break it up. have a 96 pioneer amp id like to freshen up, two big caps fine...then i saw the...roughly 400 other lilttle caps all over it 😂🤦 i understand most will be non audio function..but those woukd also need doing i guess, theyre the leaky types. nightmare
You can adjust the azimuth with the transport in postition. The bottom strip of the door is removable by pushing tabs inside the door on each side with your finger. There's a diagram showing this in the CT S430S service manual which has the same faceplate
After watching Techmoan channel got J33 programmable unit. Like selecting my fav tracks. Didn’t know about linear TT until RU-vid,lol. Guy cleaned out old grease, replaced old tonearm belt , lubed Direct drive motor before selling it to me. Thanks for serving tips
I have this turntable and it admits a lukewarm feeling on the turntable mat. Once played a Vinyl Record it feels very slightly warm. Is this normal? I have used this player for 5+ years and replayed many of the same vinyl records and it hasn't warped them. Just something I have noticed with this turntable.
Found this really useful, had one of these for around a year , its stopped working, just won't play at all , changed belt , did nothing, so going to try servicing the whole unit
@ClassicHiFiReviews Hi and thanks for tour vid’ guy… Do you think it’s possible to bring me the .pdf that you talk about please to see what the probably problem of mine ? I think it could helo me a lot…. Great thank ❤
