A whole mess of things I enjoy. Maybe you will as well...or not.
Stuff includes diatonic harmonica, bicycling, board games, record collecting, retro stereo equipment, home improvement, disc golf and perhaps some other things. We'll have to see.
I had the direct-drive version of the Sanyo (TP-1020), and found it rather cheap when I took the base plate off to inspect. I bought it at STEREO WEST the day Mork & Mindy aired on TV for the very first time. I know because I missed it shopping for the turntable and did not realize until I got home. That would make it 1978. I eventually modified the plastic gear/cam system so that the button would raise or lower the tonearm instead of just lifting and returning it. A year later I replaced it with a Dual and was far happier.
I currently use a Victor (JVC) as my daily player, and it is immense! It is a top of the line model (QL A95), and you'd have to spend a couple of grand to get anything modern that could even come close to it. If anyone fancies a JVC table, I'd definitely recommend something from the QL range (A95, A75, A70, Y7, Y44f, etc). The Japanese kept a lot of really, really nice stuff for the home market only so a step-down transformer is a must.
This is the worst harmonica of era, bad bending, bad reeds, very low sound, not air tight .. even Hohner silverstar harp for beginners is far more better than this seydel..
Bought a new set of these in the mid 80's i believe. They were a great speaker at the time. They have over driver protection circuit in them that will shut them down if you drive them too hard. Foam rot is typical and kits to repair are readily available.
I have a behringer headphone amp HA 400. I bought for a home theater so i can use late at nite. You can plug more of the same into each other so there is no limit to number of people with head phones. Not like i want 1000 people in a room i can get 30 in.
Hi..Iv Still Got My Old 1977 Leak 3001 Transcription Unit Through A Leak 3400 Amp With Wharfdale Xp 2 Speakers, Amp Makes a Humming Noise , Turntable Needs A New Belt And The Cartridge Needs Replacing ( Audiotronic Amc 70 Ed.Want to Start Playing My Old Vinyl Again, This System Used to Sound Really Good But It's Been A Bit Neglected Over The Years, Is It Worth Keeping It I Ask Myself?!!
Thanks for posting this there’s so little info on this speaker. Literally can’t find anything official. Just bought a pair tonight for likely computer usage, we’ll see.
I had found the GE version of that first deck for $5. after a little cleanup it was spinning like a champ. I gave it to my son who passed it along to a friend when I found him that deck badged Technics, this time for...yep, $5. They're both still running as primaries over three years later. The technics had it's original grounding wire.
Use a dirt cheap strobe template on the JVC. As for the arm, don't belittle the straight one. Neither the straight or curved is better, if properly implememted.
.Thers a step up model from that paticular Jvc id like to track down.Q series ?..Modify the tone-arm. If i ever locate one.Currently I own 2 mid 80s H.Ks ! I also like some of the Higher end Kenwoods Pioneers Micro Seiki..(Not watch)but rarely find used! Stay away from Onkyo they tend to distort if set up improperly Grado cartridges bad match!
@@indronilmazumder4705 right, right! Sorry. Of course. Well, to respond, I don’t know. I don’t see why not and it’s a very inexpensive pre amp so you might be able to try at low cost to you. And, if it doesn’t work out throw the pre amp on Craigslist or such. Hope it works out for you. Let me know what happens, my friend. Happy listening.
I've have heard all three of these and the all sound a bit different even using the same cartridge (especially sound staging) I wouldn't underestimate the JVC.
Yes, the turntable is pretty good! I’ll be sticking with it. What I’m building around it has changed dramatically but it’s always a matter of affordability for me. I don’t have a lot to spend on this hobby that I love so much , so I dip my toes in where I can and try to patiently trade up. Thanks for checking in, WIFIGHOST.
You should try a Sennheiser hd201(or the 206) I had them for like... 3 years(one year each. First one broke inside my bag at school... The second one had cable issues after an accident and the third one I don't remember what happened lol) but they were really good headphones for the price. Very comfortable for me. I currently have the M40X as my mixing/mastering phone.
Why not just use a sturdy table? You said the floor is poured concrete. A good table will not transfer any more vibration from the floor a wall attached to the floor will. Set the table on rubber mat like used in a garage or workshop. If you want, put the turntable on the same material.
Great idea! Thanks. For my part, I wanted to save floor space, and I like the look of the shelf. I also enjoy projects and wanted to see what I could accomplish. Practically speaking what you suggest makes great sense as well.
@@notwilson395 BK is absolutely right. A turntable shelf should not be in 'free space' like that, merely anchored to the wall studs, even if you're on a concrete slab. Also, you need to take the cover off as it will pick up on the sound vibrations in the air, particularly if you have a good subwoofer.
Non ported does mean you can get them closer to the walls without much of a change in bass. I would maybe toe them in a bit. The Sansui is very nice. A shot or two of cleaner on those pots will take care of the crackle, Deoxit is the best. I also have the Ortifon Blue on my Thorens TD 166 and I love it.
Love the Sansui. Its warm and has quite good reception. I like to listen to FM so that's important to me. I read lots about closed box, rear port, front port and some people swear by one thing and some another. That is, there does not seem to be consensus. Its kink of like speaker cables - do they make any difference of not? These speakers sound great but regardless, I can't get them any further from the wall anyhow because my wife keeps pushing them back in.
I am on the hunt for a 70s Sansui receiver here in England. Harder to come by here than in the USA that's for sure. Hopefully it will have been looked after well, or refurbished.
Thanks....I've tried everything....don't like Suzuki.....do like some of the Seydel (1847 is good), but the cost is too much. I do like some Hohners (the Amp) is good...loud and responsive.....Recently I went back to Lee Oskar. They seem to be very responsive and reliable....and affordable. I'm a semi pro level player and harp teacher and sometimes I hit them pretty hard...they have held up so far and I'm very happy with them. Not sure why the pros have a problem with them, although I suspect it may have something to do with them being made in Japan. Chinese harps have a brutal reputation, and it might be that the the Lee Oskars are being lumped in with them. I'm in Canada also....Vancouver Island....where are you?
Sorry for the brutally late reply :) Great comments! I am pretty much playing Golden Melodies these days. I'm in a suburb of Hamilton - fruit belt region. Greetings from the east!
I can't believe how few videos are about the solo system. I think is a good way to enjoy games on your own and even with people, if you want to add another player to make things more interesting.
I have watched so many reviews about harmonicas but thanks to your review i decided to go for seydel. Thanks. I play instruments and harmonica was always on my list but the taste of sharp edged metal always cooled me off a bit... until you showed the seydel. I ordered in key C as for the beginning. We will see how it goes. 🖒
I have a pair of 800C's that I bought from Radio Shack in the late 80'S and after beating on them for 30 plus years the foam finally gave out on one of the subs. Great speakers for the price of 150.00 when I bought them
I too have a pair of 800Cs, 1989 vintage, hooked up to an STA-785 receiver. I still have that, plus a LAB-460 turntable I bought as part of a complete system. They always worked beautifully, and still do. The other 2 original components, CD-2400 CD player and SCT-88 cassette deck I've replaced with Sonys. Sometimes I also fed my VCR/DVD audio output through the system.
Like Ravindra I have a loud hum and because my speakers have no covers and I can see them my speaker cones are pulsating rapidly. I haven't earthed the unit but as mentioned by Ravindra it doesn't seem to make any difference. I will try and work it out as I may have to return the item as I have only just received it.
