Hey ......auto-transformer.........

So. I dunno if that was the magic sauce or not but thanks. :D So I was using this same splicing hit to fix an old ZZ Top tape I had because the old tape was coming off. I was worried until I watched this again and realized (maybe) I was cutting the splicing tape too short. Got it a little longer and now no issues. For a minute there I thought the tape was too thick because it was getting stuck on the pinch wheel. 3/4s of an inch it seemed to matter in my case.

Who's the Genius who recorded and saved this? Awesome.

Listened to WKBW late at night in The 60’s in Vermont.

We’d go out in our boat at night and listen to the Joey Reynolds show on WKBW. This was on a Lake in the Laurentian Mountains north of Montreal. Buffalo is about 600 miles away from there , but those 50,000:watts would come through loud and clear. WKBW and WBZ Boston were our go to stations. We listened on a small 8 transistor radio, that’s all we needed for entertainment. Miss those good and uncomplicated times.

Amazing video

Nice work. Will save your tutorial on tape repairing

You can use the same cable grip shown here with a small amount of PVC cement to just glue it into the box, no dremel or grinding required. :)

My brother and I purchased new Pioneer receivers at the same time back in the 70's. I got an SX-950 and my brother went for the big SX-1250. Five years ago I got mine rebuilt and he left his alone. We are both in agreement that the rebuilt 950 now sounds much, much better than his 1250. I feel more confident than he does that mine will last another 30-40 years.

Thanks for the videos - a lot of work for sure, and very helpful! Something that would make it even more helpful is for you to slow down, way down, on the disassembly part in Part 1. There are a lot of chassis parts to remember how to put back once they're apart and, given the age of these guys, not everything fits as a factory fresh unit did, I'm sure. Thanks!

this is some bob ross level relaxation

Great work ❤❤❤Namibia 🇳🇦

at 9:03 there is a cancellation for the ukraine independence rally............i found that very interesting considering the current global climate lol

For years, I’ve been an avid reader of WhatHifi. I bought into a few of their favourites before I realised the trends. It’s not independent journalism, it’s a highly corrupt and greedy industry, especially in the UK. I’ve enjoyed my basic Marantz amp more than the Cyrus at several times the price. The KEF and Acoustic Energy speakers sounded ordinary. My Pioneer home cinema system was nothing special. I feel sorry for people who spent thousands, rather than hundreds based on reading subsidised reviews. You could still buy older kit second-hand at a fraction of the price, even a few years after release. Imagine owning the same kit but at third or quarter of the price. The whole electronics market is a con.

At 3:14 we see You use a pen- what´s that for? Kind Regards and Thanks, Mate.

I mostly agree with everything you said. Such has been my experience too! That said, I wanted to reply (way too late) to the question that was submitted regarding the Ohm Walsh 2000 speakers. My experience was that they sounded a bit disappointing in a large living room/great room. Just overly “thin”, but that was significantly improved with Dirac room correction and a bump of the bass curve. However, when I eventually relocated them into my bedroom, they suddenly sounded absolutely glorious (no equalization needed)! Just an amazing transformation, merely from being in a different and smaller room.

"Controversy"? An autotransformer is by definition not isolated. If there is an additional component that is an isolation transformer, and it's isolated. Nothing could possibly be controversial about it.

I can't find a switch outlet as you've described in your video. I ordered from your Amazon shop and the outlet I received has two brass screws on one side and a green ground and then it has a brass and silver screw on the other side. None of the screws are next to the switch and there are no black screws

Extraordinary description. I've seen various videos explaining the superhet receiver, this is the best one! I understood the variable capacitor function finally. Thanks!

New subscriber. Thank you for this information.

what kind of blue tape did you use splice them together?

What if my house installation only have 2 wire, live and neutral ? Is this the cause, why my pc sometimes give me shock when i touch the case? Because i manage to open my pc psu and find out theres 2 blue safety cap in main connector

💯👍

I just recently purchased a pair of Cornwall IV 's. Over the years I've owned many high end speakers. Now I can afford them I will not be buying anymore. Words cannot describe the Awesome sound they reproduce.

Thanks for this video, especially disassembling the module! I was a bit surprised by the damage to the module in shipping. Sorry Ohm, that didn't happen in shipping so either our presenter here is lying or Ohm is and I'm siding with the presenter. Ohm - FAIL. Also for the price of this upgrade Ohm should have created a plate that adapts the new module to the cabinet and enables the screws to bite into the thicker part of the particle board. This was a poorly thought out part of the upgrade. Ohm - FAIL

Excellent video. I still cherish my Lexicon zx-7 amplifier from the same year.

That strap around that cap looks ridiculous

Can I pay you to fix a tape for me?

Brilliant! Bravo Sir!

Do have one question. In older tube radios they use a wax capacitor I have one that is a .047 at 200 volts. Can a disc. cap. replace this type of cap.? if so what value would you use?

I sharpie’d mine .. too lazy to pull out the Dymo labeler, lol. Great review and great advice.

All I gotta say you’re brave if you do it on a 1990 cassette tape because it’s not like they’re still making them but the rarity of original tapes from the 1990s or before it’s just priceless. Minus one from the history collection

I'm completely new to this and while I'm searching for equipment and I see lots of people saying all amps are the same I'm curious to see/know what amp people own. I mean, I'm sure most people will not own any kind of amp, but I most be wrong. With that said, if all amps sound the same, which one should I buy?

I can tell you the power output if i know the voltage rail value and the imp..

I make new crossovers for these.....

I've been in the hobby for almost 40 years, and I never do any of those things. Hot chassis sets are perfectly safe, as long as they are used as the manufacturer intended; all knobs present, back cover on, etc

have you tried to make a tube amp with paper wax capacitors and compare the sound? The sound is different and there's no capacitor that sound better than those old paper ones. Try it before making conclusion, and give it to listen to someone who has ears. It can be that ppl who used to listen to modern crap lost their ability to hear. Like making an analogy you won't hear and distinguish any difference in Chinese tones, but for someone who grew up hearing tones the difference is so dramatic that different tones means absolutely different words. But if you listen to them you wouldn't notice any difference until you got familiar with those sounds a lot

This is the most cringe intro I've seen for the last 7 years But I'm asking to myself, how I didn't come up with that thought? Thank you, man!

Don’t capacitors pass ac? Please tell me why they don’t make a short across the line. Thanks!

Really objetive, I apreciate it ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I used to listen to a lot of AM radio back in the 60s play the American pit parade station they were good there wasn't many talk stations but the hit play stations was good the echo effect on WABC and wmca couldn't wait to get to New York city I'm listening to wmca 570

Hi bro I have 25 yrs old panasonic cassete my Mom marriage was in it. Can you help me how I connect to you. In the casseste some white particles are freezed.

Yeah, this is much better than the Scotch tape method I used when I was a kid😂

This is a perfect example of the power of the internet. No matter how insane you might think your idea is, there is someone on the other side of the planet who is either thinking the same thing or is doing it. Thanks for the video. I have been wondering how I am going to fit speakers inside the head of a mannequin for my robot. After watching this, I have decided to place them where the ears should be.

They now sell the Sc-10T-2, which has a digital Voltage meter incorporated within
