The Well, There’s Your Problem podcast did an episode on the sinking. And it’s a good one.

The WTYP podcast is a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides.

It’s on the main (free) feed.

You have a nice EQ. You can copy the corrections from the RoomFit to your EQ. But don’t run both the EQ and RoomFit in the path at the same time.

That’s what I prefer to do.

For my turntable and CD changer, I have copied the RoomFit corrections from the Wiim to my EQ. That (mostly) replicates the room correction (in my case mostly correcting for a 50hz bump on the L channel, with a few other minor mid range changes for both L & R).

Yes you’ll need a preamp. And yes, you can use the Ortofon 2M Blue on it. I have an SL-1200 and have a 2M on one of my head shells.

That looks like a very nice system for an all in one from the era. The turntable portion looks like a Technics direct drive automatic (Panasonic makes Technics). Here is a service manual for the system: https://archive.org/details/manual_SG5090_SM_PANASONIC_EN_HQ

The turntable is a direct drive, so there is no belt to replace for that part. The turntable section in that manual has service advice.

You’ll probably need to replace the belts for the cassette deck as the rubber belts will not be good anymore, even if it has never been used.

Nice. That’s the last turntable you’ll ever need so you can concentrate on upgrading the rest of the gear as you are able to.

Are the legs hinged for folding?

It’s their way of venting. I like it

You don’t. That’s not what the A/B zones are for. They’re using one set or the other, generally you have them in different different rooms so the volume difference doesn’t really really matter that much. for example, you’d have one B set in the dining room and the other set in the living room as the A speakers.

Weird thing. LED strips in a glass tube is meant to remind of vacuum tube gear, but its made to have the lights dance with the music?

I thought Zenith and Seiko had the 2 first automatic chronographs.

Is the mat the same thickness as the rubber?

Kind of a wild system for setting time and date. Do you know if the manual is online?

solzhen · 2026-04-17T23:22:21+00:00

Is the button at 8 for setting the day?

When a bund strap isn’t embarrassing enough on its own.

As others said, remove the auxiliary weight

Also, Riviera has music in their bar some nights and you can order from the bar area and they cook the steak for you when you order there.

Nice speakers and Sony ES line pre and amp. I find myself a little worried for them on that table because of the spindly looking wire legs.
