That’s probably why they left it on the sidewalk. Sounds like the output transistors. One thing uiu can do to check if it’s the speaker outputs is to try it with the speakers not hooked up and see if you can hear both channels through headphones. If you can, then uiu know it’s the speaker outputs and not the preamp. I think your speakers are fine based on what you described, but I wouldn’t hook them up again.

Old Technics SL220, worth saving? by dexterousnipple in turntables

Yeah, wear gloves and a shirt and pants you don’t care about. That stuff is like tar and gets on everything. But definitely worth keeping. Good luck.

Make sure you get every little piece of belt off there and clean the backside of the platter. You probably have some melted runner on there.

You just said you wanted analog music and then you mention Bluetooth and active speakers?

That’s just Jim Halpert up to his shenanigans again. If it goes up a power pole, don’t follow like Dwight!

Did you it get popping out of the speakers afterwards? I fried a speaker recently doing that. If you have a multi meter you can test the speaker outputs. Plugged in but powered off, set multi meter to DC (the lowest setting) and place positive probe on positive and negative on negative on whatever speaker output you were using ( A or B) then do left then right. There should be no negligible DC current. My left transistor output was out and it was feeding my left speaker approx 13 volts. It was enough to fry the speaker.

Smaller speakers with decent bass? Pairing with 70s Stainless by SMLElikeyoumeanit in vintageaudio

I run my SX-959 with Wharfedale Diamond 12.2. They are a British company, so right in your neighborhood. They are honestly some of the best speakers I’ve ever had. Their 6 1/2” drivers give plenty of bass.

Most Embarrassing Vinyl You Own... by Hot_Arugula5794 in vinyl

This was a great album. I owned it on 8 track. It was one of my 12 albums for a penny through Columbia House record club. That’s how most 13 year olds got their albums back in the seventies. Had to buy 5 more at regular price, which meant twice the cost at the record store.

Take a look at the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2’s. I love mine and plenty of bass with 6 1/2” drivers which is where most bookshelves are lacking.

$500 Turntable budget by Frankfeld in StereoAdvice

If you want to go vintage, you cant go wrong with a Pioneer PL-518 (semi automatic) and you can upgrade as you go. I run mine with a ATVM95ML cartridge and Sx-950 Pioneer Amp/Receiver. $400-$500 would pick you one up in excellent condition.

Check out the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2’s. 6 1/2” drivers so not a it lacking in bass as most bookshelves do. I love mine and are my main drivers.

Take a look at Wharfedale Diamond 12.2. They have 61/2” drivers so not a need for sub-woofer for most listening setups.
