Thanks Rob! What's your overall impression of the quality of the phono stages in these big SX-series units? I currently run a Denon DL-103R on my P3-24 with an RSA F-117, but I may consider switching to the Dynavector 10x5 and using the Pioneer's phono input if it's remotely in the same league.
I went to service my sansui and the repair man told me it was fine..
He told me that white noise hiss is normal in vintage amps ...
So i had to pay him for the checkup but my amp was still unlistenable with headphones :mad:
Guess some things are better done by yourself..
Wish i stayed one more year in electronic school..

The face of the knob is missing? There's no face on those knobs to miss as far as I'm aware. They're a single piece. Looks to me like there's just a sticker on it with the image of a hand print.
Hey your'e right! I don't know how I missed that hand print! My mind just saw a broken knob and I thought that was just the glue that was holding it in place. I'm going to email the guy and find out whats up with that sticker...
The Harman Kardon 730 just arrived. Initial impressions are "wow, this thing is a lot bigger than I envisioned" and "sounds very nice with the LCD-2's, silky and seductive".

No one on HF has admitted owning one, though other folks on other forums seem to like the SE-100 a lot. Since it physically resembles the Sony ECR-500 electret, many of us have long wondered what's inside the SE-100.. and, of course, how it sounds.

Does anyone know of a place in the Bay Area, CA that restores vintage receivers? I just tried out the phono stage on my SX-850 and it hums really badly and the channels also cut out from time to time. Wanted to recap this myself but I've never done it before and I don't want to mess it up. I really like the 850 and want to keep it alive!

Good suggestion. Make sure your selector switch contacts and phono-input RCA jacks are clean, and make sure you've connected the ground wire from your turntable. If you've done all that, tell the folks at AK what's up and see if anyone's got an idea.
