Cheap Old Hi-Fi (HiFi reviews)
США
Добавлен 17 май 2021
I like Hi-Fi components and systems, and cheaper with a good sound, the better. And, as soon as I can get my hands on some old Hi-Fi component, I'll try to review it in a short video for other people so they can see how technology worked in the past.

Repair of DENON AD-H5000 headphones
This time I will try to repair my $500 headphones DENON AD-H5000 that I dropped many times until they broke. They are very good and very old but still functional. There's nothing wrong with the sound, but they cannot be used properly untill I fix the headband.

Don't buy A Soundbar, instead buy this ! Denon UDRA-90 + UCD-90 - Mini HiFi
Просмотров 827Год назад
Don't buy a soundbar, buy this instead! For this video, I'll show you some old Mini HiFi system from 1996: Denon UDRA-90 Stereo RDS receiver & UCD-90 compact disc player. I'm not so much into Mini HiFi, but I would use it with TV set or in small environments, when you don't have much space for a regular Hi-Fi components. Let's say it will fit on your computer desk, and will sound much better th...

Kenwood KA-4020 vintage integrated amplifier... Japanese or British?
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Let's take a look at this 33 years old vintage integrated amplifier by Kenwood. Model KA-4020 comes with a 70 watts per channel, and some huge knobs for input and tape recording selection. This one has a failure that makes it British instead of Japanese amp. Bass and treble knobs are not operating, you can't filter sound, works only when the source direct button is pressed on. What a shame... #...

This time I visited my good friend Isak Goran and checked out his latest Hi-Fi system with 9 cassette decks. He really likes 3-head cassette decks and he's trying to collect as much as he can. These days they're cheaper than they used to be, so if you have money to spare, you'll get some of the nicest 3-head Cassette Decks !

TEAC V 44C - 40 years old vintage silver cassette deck, nothing special, but I'm using it for the totally different purpose... just to show peak meters from my computer, RUclips videos, music etc... So, I'm not using it for playback or recording, I'm using it as an peak meter for my RUclips videos sound volume check etc... I hope you'll get it, and you'll pullout your old decks and use it in 20...

Great deck. Very much missing cassette backlight 😢
Have KX 630 and KX 393 purchased a bit earlier. Both silver, both good looking. Probably keep 393 too😊
Thanks. I spent weeks looking for a nice CD Transport when I realized I’ve a Toshiba SD9000 DVD player which at the time it was released was a £1500 high end DVD player weighing 20 lbs. So wondered why I couldn’t use that as a CD transport instead ? Question is - do I use RCA or digital or coaxial into the DAC?
It was apart of a rack system from 1988. I own the same one
All of the belts in mine need to be replaced, dso you know the sizes of each of them. I know this video is old but that would be so helpful.
Das Deck funktioniert perfekt wenn man einen Capstan den hinteren hinter löschkopf ausbaut. Der Capstan Riemen kann dann auch weg direkt antrieb seit 100 von Stunden absolut fehlerfrei im Einsatz toller Klang besser als ein Zwei Capstan Laufwerk.... Wr eh nur ein Marketing Gag von Sony 😂
Beautiful deck!
I've been dreading the thought of fixing my 707es for the last 7 years now and watching this video was a life saver... I wouldn't have been able to do it without u!
I got one, but I need a belt. Anybody have the belt number.
Arnold?
Have this one for sale?
Hey - great video. On Page 20 of the manual it specifies there is a display brightness setting adjustment only available via the remote. Likely the bottom unit has just been dimmed using this setting. Cheers.

Is a DAT tape same as a VCR tape?
NO, it is just similar technology
Do you have a used dat player for sale? thank you.
No, sorry, all gone
I need to replace the belts on mine I just found this machine at my local goodwill for 9$ I would greatly appreciate some advice if you know some
Very good
I BOUGTH ONE REPAIRED GREAT DECK WAS ONLY 50 BUCKS
Very nice video,which gives clear ideas of servicing any kind of mechanism. It is regrated that SONY such a reputed brand is using poor quality of belts for this classic mechanism. Thanks for this intresting. video Mohan.(India)
Do you know how to figure out how many hours the unit has on it?
Hi! How satisfied are you with it? Sound and mechanical quality? I found one of these types used, cassette drive gears slightly worn. Are these interchangeable? Thanks.
Many Thanks!!
Imam dva komada, jednom mijenjao remenje na jednom i to je to. Nažalost, nisam ih koristio zadnjih skoro 6 godina pa ne znam u kakvom su stanju. Kad ljudima prezentiram dbx, svi su zapanjeni koliko ta redukcija šuma ukloni šum trake. Počeo sam prebacivati snimke s kazeta na minidisc medije iz razloga što ne znam koliko bi kazetofoni mogli još biti upotrebljivi. Uživao sam u tim kazetofonima, a život nema reprizu. :-(
I moji kazetofoni imaju malo drugačija vrata. Je li u pitanju godina proizvodnje ili različita tržišta, ne znam.
You should use a properly calibrated direct drive deck to make this kind of tape, but you don't have it. Assumption is that the right deck on this unit is on the point, so it's dead right with the tape speed, and that's why we can use it to approximately make a test tape for some other tape deck. It's not perfect and proper, but it works.
how to record from rear inputs?
That's for the microphones
It's for the mics !
I have it all figured out now. Deck hasn't been used in a long time so I cleaned the heads wirth Isopropol alcohol, and also degaussed them, used tuner cleaner on the scratchy pots. Sounds great now. I wonder when the drive belts will fail..
That's not how it works. You need a test tone tape , a professionally made test tape .Made on calibrated equipment. Than you can adjust your deck . If you have a frequency counter or frequency counter app.
Brilliant video. Just helped me repair a completely broken DTC A6. Do You know where to buy those tiny plastic washers? I had to swap over like you but I would like to replace them. I want to keep the machine

Best cassette recording tape product for the Tascam DA-30 Mkii?
Hi, today I found such an amplifier on the street and brought it home, when I turn it on, the light comes on, but the relay does not click,there is no sound either, complete silence, tell me what needs to be checked?
🙏
The best Tapedeck, I ever had 😎
You have to record the test tone on a perfectly tuned/calibrated tape machine then play it on the tape machine you need to tune. Regarding the pinch roller it just puches the tape on the important part, the capstan, which actualy runs the tape.
What’s causing my tapes to snap? Could it be the old pinch rollers?
I am so excited, just picked one up myself
You don’t need the pretensioner belt The oring will make it squeal Will work fine without that belt Cheers
I had this deck , bought it new in the 90s , I didn't liked the sound fortunately.
I'm not surprised, it was like a basic model
My dad used to have it when i was young. He used this deck to record all the tapes that he will sell back at his shop. We had a few of them back in the 80's..tpu really bring back my old memories man!!
Glad you enjoyed part of the hi-fi history
hi i buy ADAT decks black face and later ones i do change over parts to have the best deck note ADAT is not like alot because of the recording time on a tape is low i been un lucky with DAT decks reel to reel are my bag like tascam 30 love the teac 44 80-8 decks i have space to keep them
thank you for this video, you helped me a lot 😉
I bought that lower one from you about a year ago. It's been a good deck, after I gave it an azimuth adjustment. I use it for everything from music recording to mastering data cassettes for old computer programs.. Finally today one of the FF/RW motor gears broke a tooth, so I will go in to replace those gears and maybe address the braking squeal at the same time.
Good review with good music on the tapes 🙂
This is not understanding the basics. Totally wrong.
Right on!
Good to know you liked it ! Thanks for watching !
i just got one of these decks, very complicated inside with many adjustment points, had to get imported to australia so i also need to run it through a stepdown transformer
Good luck ! I hope you'll make it working properly !
Where did you source the replacement belt from.. Thx..
If you can get it from a electronic parts store, great. If not, you can always gamble on AliExpress !
i like your deep house music will you be able to make me a copy i live in california
You can get all of my DJ Mixes at www.djdacha.net, or if you prefer online radio, check out www.deeplink.stream. Thank you !
Can anyone help me with the following problem, the drum sticks and grinds on the Sony PCM-R700, I checked it and can't see/find anything that is causing it, is some kind of oil needed for lubrication perhaps? any help/info is welcome
Check out the working hours, if it worked a lot, maybe the head is R.I.P. Did you try cleaning it with a isopropyl alcohol?
@@cheapoldhifi thnx 4 the reply, how can i see the working hours on this deck? and i used a dry DAT cleaning tape, the sound sounds like it`s grinding somehow? Sorry for the bad English!
Tengo el Yamaha KX-360 donde disfruto cada dia , me encanta mucho esta marca , mas adelante quisiera tener uno de 3 cabezales.
Please let me know if you are selling it for parts 🙂
Sorry, all the components shown on this channel are not available anymore.
@@cheapoldhifi That's okay, I got one DRM 740 free here locally, experimenting with a VFD from it 🙂
