I was thinking about calling marantz but then again this reciver is from the late 70's you think they still service it? Also, are there any other forums that deal with vintage audio equipment that might better be able to find a solution. Thanks for all the help.

all right so I guess its a lamp. Should I replace it with another lamp, where would I find one? Or is there anything I could do that means I wouldnt need to replace it? Bridge it or something since if their only purpose is to provide light then they are pretty much useless, unless they have...

Here is the schematic for the section of the reciver with the smoking part. The part should be labeled m701

Its diffinatly not a led for sure. Its labled m701 if that means anything to you. I know that its not an led because I have done some diy projects before (modded a dvd player, pimeta, cmoy blah blah blah) and I am pretty sure its not a led. Plus there is the other red capped thingy that is the...

I just got this really nice reciver for a steal and I am having problems already. I turned it on and something is smoking. I opened it up and located the problem. I dont know what kind of component it is but it looks black from it being blown and when the reciver is on it lights up like a light...

With a Marantz SR 3100 reciver. I think I might be getting my hands on one and I was wondering, more than anything, how it would be as a phono stage. I bought a Thorens turntable a while back but still havent set it up, silly me. Anybody out there have any info on this particular model?

Nice amps larry I see you still have the bug. Hope Spain is working out and Antonio (hunky pool boy) with long flowing hair hasnt arivied yet to take your lady. By the way your next projects should be to make replica's of the klipsch speakers with them designs I gave you. Yup that would be...

I guess I have a question is there a difference between a phono preamp and a phonostage. If so what?

Well I made the leep and bought myself a used Thorens 160 and was wondering how I could add to it to make my first delve into vinyl an enjoyable one. I also bough my first records two Allmans Brothers albums and one Jethro Tull live album used for like a buck. my dad has a whole bunch though...

Sorry this has to be the thrid post about eaither dummers or solos that I have put this link in but Miguel Anga Diaz has a crazy improv solo from his video that you can download here Gotta show props to the latin stuff.

Lets get some latin drummers here: Miguel Anga Diaz crazy conga solo here Poncho Sanchez Changuito Giovanni For them regular stick ers Max Roach Buddy Rich And sorry to all you keith moon fans and other rock and roll drummers but IMO there arent to many of them that can even...

Jimmy- star spangled banner (woodstock duh!) Stanley Jordan- Whats going on (one of the montrex jazz festivals) You didnt say anything about drums so I guess I will add a few. Anga-(from his video anga mania you can download it here do save link as dont think it works to well in a browser)...

thanks for the link I was actually looking at that site and thats why the thorens what one of my original choices. Any opinions on which model I should look for & the general price range since I deffinatly dont want to get ripped off?

I have been reading many posts about vinyl and it has made me very interested. I like to consider my self an audiophile but all I really own is a modded dvd player and a pair of MS-1s. I would like to find a well built, cheep turntable, that with some tweeks and mods will sing even if its...

I found one for 30$ good deal? I have been looking around on the net and can't find any real info on this receiver but I have heard that Marantz made very good vintage receivers and when I saw this I thought it could be a real steal. Any Opinions?

N.W.A is where its at for classic rap MosDef Also if your into the whole gangsta rap stuff Gheto Boys are pretty awsome too.

Thats totally awsome idea I was working on making cables and just trying to get those solder joints to keep from being bridged and from keeping the pins from breaking was hell so that must have been craploads harder those connectors are a bitch. great work.

Oh those new connectors look so nice. And they get rid of the problem of the oversized hole where the wire comes out from the ugly big ones. To bad I have a bunch left nice work headchange4u.

This is where I learned to litz braid. Not to hard once you get the idea.

Just wondering what type of cable interms of material and thickness would be good for making a guitar cable.

drill a small hole into it and then drill a small screw into that hole in the other screw and try unscrewing it that way. Never tried it only heard somebody talking about it for stripped screws might work in your case.

No thoses aren't from radio shack. I got them from this guy named ridax from a different forum. Found him through this thread created by Syzygies. Here is the link to the post on ipodlinux.com where the guy is selling these connectors. The site has been having some troubles with hackers so it...

These are my first diy cables, a little sloppy but good for a first timer. These are three line out ipod cables that I made similar to the Sik Din & Ram Din. For the connectors I used a right angle neutrik mini and the other two are generic inline female connectors that I got from parts...

Heh sounds like you are having fun there Lar-dog. I agree with him on the sewing pin or needle and a hot soldering iorn and heat up the pad and try moving the needle up and down to clear the hole of solder. I don't think there is any need to remove the Q1s since you have them in already I...

probebly big but very cheep and I have heard great things about the hd 201s.
