Funny! I didn't mention it earlier, but that's how I blew mine. Switched from listening to a quiet song, forgot to turn the volume back down, the next song blasted my ears off for a few seconds. Played another song or 2 then turned it off because ...

czarivey, thanks, ebay is a favorite online buying site. frogman, yes my Yamaha is an integrated, & I have a pre and power amp in the main system. Connected the Yamaha to a pre-amp input.  My mistake was trying to listen through the "tape out"...

:)  I got it!  Sounds great, detailed with amazing sound stage!  No buying a phono stage!  Thanks to all who contributed!!!  I guess my next purchase will be a vinyl cleaner!  Suggestions?

Okay, I've connected the TT to the Yamaha's phono-in and ground connections.  I plugged RCA cables from the Yamaha's TAPE REC OUT to the Power amps R & L channels, but don't get any sound from the speakers. Then I tried connecting the Yamaha t...

So you're saying a decent phono stage would not improve the TT's sound quality?  Because then I could connect it to my main system which sounds better than the vintage Yamaha system. I thought any MM cartridge could be connected to any MM armed tu...

addyson815May 22, 2017 13:14for that turntable, there weren't a lot of options for different cartridges. so since you really dont plan on upgrading the turnable , just use it as is. for the different sound from vinyl to what you recorded....... 
For older guys
Don't listen to many of the guys you mentioned for their mainstream music but I have Andy Williams, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, and the Andrews Sisters Christmas music.  Two singers I do love are Nancy Wilson (the jazz singer) and Doris Day. I inher...

I received my VANA fuses yesterday and the package says "6.3A Fast Acting."  I'm not going to reopen my amp to put one in.  I'm going to stick with the 6 amp fuse (which is a fast blow) I put in from the hardware store.  When & if any others b...

Thanks for the warm reception. The last mechanical tinkering I did was when I was around 8 years old. I'd gotten a portable reel to reel for Christmas (giving my age away now).  I recorded my first song (self-written) and one day became curious ho...

audioconnection, I want to say a BIG THANKS for your recommendation to install a 5 amp fast blow fuse.  IT WORKED & my amp is back up and running!!!  One exception, I installed a 6 amp fuse instead (purchased from a major hardware store-4 for ...

Good day all. I received a reply back from Vana after inquiring about the specific fuse I removed.  They say they'll sell a dozen for $3.60 + shipping.  Sounds like a bargain to me. I've asked for an invoice.  Waiting for a response.  Audioconnect...

No problem, martyfriedman. The bit I used was a 6 point star.  I have 6 bits in my set (all without center holes) and I used the smallest one.  I only removed the tiny screws on the top and sides.  No large screws. The cover just lifted off.

gentlemen, I am a Mrs. not a sir (not that you could have know). But audioconnection, I did email Primare at sales@vanaltd.com. I asked if they have fuses for sale. I am waiting on a response. Thanks for the suggestion. I just hope when all is sai...
