Hello,

I have a Sony STR-DE625 receiver (about 10-11 years old) that has
started failing - it turns on, sound plays for say 10 minutes or so,
then I hear a click and the sound disappears whether its the FM tuner
or CD or DVD input. The sound may or may not return; I usually hear
another click before the sound returns if it does.

So I'm looking for recommendations for a new stereo receiver to replace
it that is priced under $400, is reliable (problem free and long
lasting), can accomodate JBL Horizon speakers and, due to space
limitations, is no wider (17 1/8") than the current receiver. That
last item is critical. Home theater is not in my plans.

Thanks,

John

Hi can anyone give me a link to a web site that helps identify
speakers. I am trying to determine a pair of decent quality speakers
by audiomaster. I have a number of numbers off the driver but cannot
find out who made them. The info I have is

Thanks for any help

I'm certainly not an expert but I think the Japanese company spun off from
RCA marked their products "Victor" before they became JVC (which I think was
Japan Victor Company).

This is a variation on the old 'what's the best receiver' question: I
just bought a Music Hall MMF2.1 turntable and have a Sony STR AV770
receiver (80W), Sony K679ES cassette deck, Sony CDP-591 CD player, JBL
2600 speakers and also use the receiver for the audio on my TV/movies.
The tuner went out on the receiver and some of the digital display
doesn't work, otherwise it works fine.

I've been out of the audio loop for a bit. When researching a new
turntable I found out most of the new tables are junk and to buy a new
or used Rega, Thorens or Music Hall, hence the Music Hall purchase.
I've heard the same is true for amplifiers/receivers and to look for a
used NAD, etc receiver. Is this right? I used to own Marantz receivers
and loved their transparent sound. Does Marantz still make good audio
equipment? What about Denon? Or should I just get the STR AV770
repaired? Thanks!

I need a replacement hinge for the cover on my Yamaha P- 550 turntable
(I'll take two of them if I can find them). Can anyone in these groups
please direct me to a source for the hinges?

Thanks.

Any help appreciated!

I have NAD 7155 receiver with New EPOS 3 speakers which are 4 ohms. I
have been using Paradigm Studio 20 at 8 ohms. How do I switch to 4
ohms... or do I, do nothing? I am lame when it comes to this stuff.
Help, please... Thank you!
