| Converting from 230v to 110 v @cleeds People recommended that too, what I’ve done is much simpler than that. I heard you need to have to correct size pulley too. | |
| Can US 220 Volts Be Used On European 220 V Amp? @cleeds I’m currently living in Israel where it’s 230V/50Hz and learned about AC & DC motors the hard way when I schlepped my Ariston RD80SL Turntable here that was wired for 115V/60 Hz. I got many opinions on how to make it work as with my... | |
| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment @feeney Well, you can always hook up the equalizer to the Kenwood receiver using the Adapter in/out RCA’s. I would not plug in and turn on the tube gear until you’ve put it on a variac and brought up the voltages slowly. The preamp is not an a... | |
| Can US 220 Volts Be Used On European 220 V Amp? @3zub Just curious, what 220 amp were you considering? @cleeds someone told me of a cheaper workaround that works just fine. I moved overseas 18 months ago, and this person told me he used this in Greece for several years with no issues. Un... | |
| Can US 220 Volts Be Used On European 220 V Amp? @rhg3 Yes. Changing from 50 to 60 Hz or vice versa will impact the speed of a cd player, cassette deck, reel to reel and a TT. @3zub Much easier and cheaper to see if the 220 or 240V amp is dual voltage. Does it say 120V/240V or 110V/220... | |
| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment @imhififan @feeney The adapter in/out may be for an external signal processor like the Audio Control Equalizer and not a true Preamp in/Main Out circuit that is used to hook up an amp or preamp to a receiver. When in doubt, do a little intern... | |
| Converting from 230v to 110 v I went the other way from 115V/60 Hz to 230V/50Hz when I moved overseas 18 months ago. It’s not so much the voltage that can’t be converted it’s the Hz which translates to the cd running at the proper speed. First of all, check to see if the CD ... | |
| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures In a day and age where a stereo transaction can be a very impersonal thing done via emails and pictures only, pictures really matter and greatly help to give the buyer a sense comfort. I’ve been in this hobby 40 years and have no problem buying s... | |

| Kyocera repair/restoration Totally frustrating; the hobbyist I brought it to to get fixed couldn’t fix it and suggested that workaround. Problem was that for every 10 tapes I played, out of haste, 2-3 times I’d forget to do the workaround and it would eat the tape. I now ... |
