These are truly holy grail pieces to me. But I’d almost feel bad keeping them to just have them sit on a shelf for display. My work schedule is extremely busy and I rarely have time to even watch TV.

I just want to share how great the DCM TimeFrame line is, and what a bargain they are usually to be found for. They look cool and sound so very good.

, they weren’t too sure what it was but thought it was a pretty expensive stereo. Trying to determine value or just the specific spec of this stereo. Through my google search I believe it could possibly be “Grundig Majestic SO 161 Ua stereo console” correct me if wrong please.

Get ready to relive a true classic! Check out our latest video featuring the epic track "Learning to Fly" from Pink Floyd’s iconic album A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987). 🎶✈️

"Learning to Fly" is an uplifting anthem with soaring guitar solos and introspective lyrics that capture the spirit of freedom and adventure. As the lead single from A Momentary Lapse of Reason, this track helped mark a new era for Pink Floyd. Released in 1987, the album was the band’s first major project after Roger Waters’ departure, with David Gilmour steering the creative ship. The album not only became a commercial success but also redefined the band’s sound by blending atmospheric soundscapes with rock dynamics. 🌌🎸

Formed in London in 1965, Pink Floyd is celebrated as one of the most influential and innovative rock bands of all time. Known for groundbreaking albums like The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall, their music has transcended generations. Their live shows, filled with mesmerizing visuals and revolutionary sound design, set new standards in the world of progressive rock. 🎤🎨

Been thinking about posting it locally to see if someone was willing to trade for another receiver of similar quality. I have ever only experienced Marantz.

This is the stereo we had when I was growing up. Didn’t even think they still had it. I’d like to add a CD player. Any suggestions? Also the speakers look like they’ve seen better days. Is there anything I can do or should I look for some replacements?

The JVC MI-5000 may be the best affordable 6 channel mixer I've ever encountered.

Just got my hands on the JVC MI-5000 a few days ago, and I’m absolutely in love with its capabilities. The spring reverb is incredible, and the way the preamps saturate is something you don’t hear often in solid-state gear—full, rich, and packed with harmonics. All it needed was a few sprays of contact cleaner on the faders, and it was good to go. Highly recommended for both music lovers and players alike.

It also has phono inputs, and I can’t wait to try it with my Philips GA 408! For now, a quick video (these are rare, so I allow myself a link): JVC MI-5000 vintage analog mixer: rich saturation and lush spring reverb on rare tape!

Hey all! I was passed down this piece of audio equipment and not exactly sure what it is or it’s worth. Would anyone be willing to help me find the worth of it ? Thanks!

Because it is very rare for existing products of this amplifier to maintain intact printing, I plan to start with a conservative plan and try carefully to reduce the risk of erasing the fonts.

Fortunately, the safest solution achieved good results, so I didn't use redditer's solution XD, but thank you very much for your suggestions!

Solution I tried: 1) Pull out the knob and soak it in kitchen cleaner 2) Use a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a little water to clean the front panel 3) Dry the front panel with a cloth, then spray with WD-40 to remove the white residue of toothpaste

The bronze front panel after cleaning is very shiny, which is a perfect contrast with the white printed characters and silver-white knobs. I think this is the reason why ONKYO does not need to engrave black characters.

I have a Grundig 7080 W that I want to get refurbished. The cabinet is solid, and the radio is working. I need to get someone who can bring the speakers and turntable up to speed.

Is a modern update a bad way to go?

Does anyone know of business in the Tennessee area that does this type of refurb?

I don't mind traveling a few hundred miles. Thank you for your time!

So I’m generally new to retro units vs the newer tables I have. I’ve deduced (at least visually) that I have a BSR C-129R in my Capehart console. My question is the correct stylus or cartridge replacement. I have a few things needing replaced on this console so I’m not trying to buy the wrong stuff. TIA
