Thorens TD 166 MK II Suspension?
But that spindle is a pain. Some records, not all have to be pushed down onto the spindle though.It does sound nice. I have to get a new stylus. I would like to replace the one that's on there now.Sonus I believe. I think it's the original cartrid...

Can the spindle be upgraded? 
Adcom GFA 7500 Find Can It Be Ran In Two Channel..
Tested, and works great.Thanks 
Adcom GFA 7500 Find Can It Be Ran In Two Channel..
Thanks Hessec. Yes $15. There was really no way to test it at the moment, and the thrift store manager was really cool about it, (That was a surprise) and she put $15 on. I figured at that price I couldn't go wrong. I will try to test it soon. 
Carver HR 895 Receiver?
I have some static in one channel that is unaffected by volume. I tried cleaning the controls through the faceplate with contact cleaner, but it did not work. I could run the unit for hours with no static at all. It's not loud. I have to get the f... 
Sansui AU - 919 Thrift Store Find
I went through and cleaned all the switches. Something I did not do initially. Seems like it's working fine now. Ran it for a few hours last night. And about an hour + on the lowest volume setting.Man this is an awfully nice sounding unit. Are the... 
Sansui AU - 919 Thrift Store Find
Got an email from my tech this morning. I described the issue I am having with the amp to him in an earlier email. Here is what he said: That series of Sansui amps had a problem with theglue they used to hold down some of the caps duringwave solde... 
Sansui AU - 919 Thrift Store Find
I think it might need output transistors. Also someone mentioned that the AU-717 was similar to the 919 with just more power. Not so. They are both quite different.Funny about loosing the channel. Hours after I re-started the unit it lost the left... 
Sansui AU - 919 Thrift Store Find
Only issue so far after running this for over 4 hours on the lowest volume setting I lost a channel. Powered the unit off for 30 seconds with the unit on a higher volume and the channel is back. Weird. I guess this unit does not like that low volu... 
NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A
I sold the Nakamchi. So I guess that answers that. Yes. The 7140 is a keeper. 
Harman Kardon Citation 22 No Love?
I think you are forgetting a few. Bryston would definitely be one. What about the Yamaha B2. I am trying to think of the Sound Craftsman that is a beast. Not to mention many of the larger integrated Kenwoods from the late 70's. And there are other... 
KEF 103/4
So just rotate the driver 180 Degrees but in the same place where it is mounted? I will have to pull them down next week from storage, and try this. I really hope this is the problem. 
NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A
I don't buy, unless on the fly. There is nothing I need that badly to spend the kind of money folks spend on this stuff. I have upgraded, and found that I can still find stuff that impresses me, that would not be considered that good for what it i... 
NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A
I meant to ask what the owners of the 7140 did with theirs. They stated they used one for years, but did not mention what they did with the unit after they stopped using it. Did it die (Doubtful) was it sold, or is it in storage?I am curious about... 
NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A
Well the NAD is superb. It not only sounds better then the Nakamichi, it sounds better then the Rotel RX 1050 easily. I am using Tannoy System 800 Speakers.
