Last night I went to put a record on my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit TT only to find the tone arm sitting in the middle of the platter. The lift arm failed to work and ultimately I realized that the stylus was broken off. I got the lift arm to work, but obviously I need a new cartridge or...

Does anybody own either of these TV's or compared them? I am replacing my TV in my bedroom. It will be used with an Nvidia Shield Pro for streaming and occasional gaming via the Shield streaming from my PC upstairs - I don't envision using it for heavy gaming or connecting any 120hz source...

I need some troubleshooting help. I have a 77" LG CX and a Denon x3300W AVR. All inputs except my XBOX Series X run through the Denon. The XBOX runs to the TV (to take advantage of the 120 hz output) and I then use ARC to the receiver. Last night I turned on the XBOX and I got no volume. No...

I have a 9 year old 65" Panny VT30. One year into its life the panel failed which was replaced. It has run strong since then, but it is starting to hum on bright screens and the recent acquisition of an xbox series x has me considering a larger (75") 4k set. Was looking at the LG OLED's, and...

Not sure where to put this question. I recently purchased a nice treadmill to continue workouts with the world shut down. The treadmill has a large screen for streaming trainer led runs etc. It also has two 3" speakers (not built into the screen but in an area below that is likely...

Hoping you all can help me solve a humming issue. I just had some built in cabinets with dimmable LED lights installed for my records/TT. In the new cabinets, I have a Project Debut Carbon TT hooked up to the phono input of a ‘70’s Marantz receiver with a pair of BJC RCA cables with a ground...

I'm looking for recommendations for new speakers for my woodshop. I have been using my son's old Sony all-in-one mini stereo system - basically a glorified boom box with detachable speakers - but it is starting to fail. The volume control does not work consistently. There is nothing wrong...

My mother's second Crosley all-in-one record player broke down awhile back and I am thinking about getting her something decent but inexpensive to replace it. She is very minimalist and concerned with aesthetics. Given those criteria (cheap, not ugly, and not too many wires or components), I...

Not sure if this is the correct location for this post but I have a glitch I am trying to work out. I recently replaced my receiver from a Denon AVR 2805 to a Denon AVR X3300. Obviously the old receiver did not have HDMI inputs or outputs so video from all sources went to my Panny Plasma (65"...

I am looking for a set of in-ear monitors with active noise cancellation for air-travel and to use while I am riding my bike on a trainer over the winter. Based on all the reviews I can find - the Bose QC 20 and 30 are rated very well. I prefer the style of the QC 20 - as I don't care about...

I am trying to help my mother purchase a new TV. She currently has a 32" LCD. I believe it is a Samsung. She wants something bigger and suggested 45-50". her viewing room has a ton of windows and can be very bright. The other caveat is that her seating positions are offset such that only...

Has anyone ever used a product like THIS to transmit 2 channel stereo? I moved my turntable and am trying to connect the receiver I am using as a phono-amp to my AVR for use through my speakers. An in-wall cable run would be very difficult so I was looking for a simple solution. I am a little...

I have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit TT that is turning itself on automatically. The first instance was about one month ago. The TT is inside a cabinet with a cloth faced door. One night I looked over and I could see the power light on behind the door. I went over to investigate and the TT...

My wonderful wife gave me a beautifully reconditioned Marantz 2240 receiver. I'd like to use it as my phono stage. I have my turntable plugged into the phono in. Instead of the jumpers between the "pre outs" and "main in", I am running a Y cable from each preout. One pair from there goes to...

I currently have a Pro-Ject Phonobox S running to a line level input on my Denon AVR 2805. The problem is that oftentimes my better half will want to watch something on TV while I would prefer to listen to music. I have been looking for a phono pre-amp with a built in headphone amplifier or...

I am beginning my search for a big boy sub. My speakers are Monitor Audio Radius (270 floor stander fronts, 200 center, and 90 surrounds). I have a tiny Radius 360 (8" 100 w) subwoofer. I have a large room with cathedral ceilings. The room is basically two adjoining rectangles although they...

I have a pair of Monitor Audio Radius 270 floor standing speakers. Each driver in the speaker has its own metal grill that presses into a groove around the circumference of the driver. About two years ago, my then two year old, took the grills off the shiny tweeters and pushed the tweeters in...

I need to run 50 feet of RCA interconnect from my phono pre amp to my receiver (through the walls, attic, and crawl space). I'm not really a big believer in high priced cables, but have never used anything at that length. Does anyone see a problem using a monoprice or tartan cable at that...

For x-mas my wonderful wife got me a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit turntable. It is currently sitting behind a door in my TV stand and is taking up a lot of real estate in the stand. It is connected directly to my Denon 2805 phono input. There is a slight hum in the phono stage, audible only...

I currently own a 65" Panny VT30. When I purchased the TV I had a perfect space for it. That space has now been converted to a different use, and the TV sits in a living room it is really too big for (I know many believe there is no such thing, but it really sticks out like a sore thumb). So...
