Sanyo M5550 "walkman" problem... just bought one used off of Ebay... I want to try and fix the problem which is no sound out of either headphone jack of the unit. Playing a tape, I hear a very faint "click" when I insert the headphone plug as if some signal is coming through, but...

Hey all...   technical question here.    I have a SONY Walkman (WM-D6) that does not power up at all. I've heard it is probably going to need a DC-DC coverter part that is no longer available from Sony...   I have another walkman, the WM-F1 from the early 80's. Is the DC-DC coverter...

does anyone know if there is a way on this vintage unit to increase the bass output of the music signal? is there an internal pot or semthing to adjust to accomplish this?   don't get me wrong, it sounds fantastic. But, i would prefer more bass when playing cassettes..

I have this vintage cassette deck and had it serviced recently (belts, bias, azmuth) to TDK-SA cassettes The frequency response test came in at 43Hz - 18,500Hz and the owners manual on this deck shows a frequency response from 40Hz - 18,000Hz... Since this deck cannot achieve the high...

I've seen the mod's for cutting holes in the earpads for more treble. I also thought I read somewhere on google that you could get more treble by cutting a quarter sized hole in the screen mesh (clear-white in color) that covers the holes on the speaker front grill. Any thoughts??

if you've replaced the motor belts in yours, what size(s) do I need?? I'm getting different sizes on the internet, so I would liek to hear from someone that has replaced theirs and knows for sure. Thanks!

I recently got the Bellari VP130 Phono Preamp. it warms up the sound considerably, but the background hum is annoying. I've tried plugging all the components of my stereo system into a the wall 3 prong plug for grounding. I also tried running the ground wire of the turntable into the...

I just scored one off Ebay for $75 in outstanding condition!.. It sounds great, but i want to replace the belt(s). how many are there and what are the sizes?? Thanks Brian

I'm looking into these 2 Phono Preamps. Both are available around $100... I have a Grado Red Cartridge > Soundcraftsmen EQ preamp > Soundcraftsmen Power Amp. Which of these would be a better upgrade to improve the sound quality when listening to vinyl? of coarse, one is tube and the...

I'm amazed at the sound of my Grado SR-80's i got on Ebay for $60. I've also heard the SR-125's and found the 80's to be the better bang for buck.. If you really want a good bang for buck, get the Koss KTX Pro's (not the folding kind) for under $20 on Ebay. I still use these for when at the...

I have a Numark TT1650 turntable I bought for $150. I replaced the cartridge with a Grado Red. It sounds great so far in my Soundcraftsmen Preamp EQ, but do higher priced turntables make that much of a difference in sound quality if you have a good cartridge on them? How much difference do...

I have this unit that was made in the mid 70's with a sloped appearance... I like to record my Vinyl on cassettes for my walkmans. My question is about the frequency response that is noted in the manual on this deck only from 40Hz - 18,000Hz... Will I notice an audible difference in...
