      Sometimes it need the degreasing as old grease gets hard and that prevents from moving to the position, or just something is dislocated inside, if you know a bit how to take apart and look inside, clue is probably there.

    The disk 1 and Disk 2 inputs were designed for a moving iron vinyl record cartridge and it applies an RIAA equalisation curve to th e signal. That is why the CD was very bassy. The CD player has a "line" out put level and should have been plugged into into Tuner 1 or Tuner 2 inputs. One of tuner inputs has a slide switch on the back panel to change the sensitivity of the input, try switching to the lower sensitivity.

    I do own the smaller 470 PXS, it sounds pretty good, but i would recommend to replace the operational amplifier. The C4570 from NEC is built in, and it's OK, but some other, better OP amps are out there. Changing it to a diferent one will improve the sound. Even the pretty cheap NE5532 sounds better, especially in the highs are smoother.

    • @FunwithVintageHiFi
      @FunwithVintageHiFi 18 днів тому

      You might be right but I am a fun of the originality as I think Japanese engineers were pretty clued up what are they doing but if someone is looking for some kind of improvement that it might be there why not but as I mentioned I am not recommending changing anything ;)

    • @legobuildingsrewiew7538
      @legobuildingsrewiew7538 16 днів тому

      Hey man you sound like you know a lot about these amps. Mine has a quiet channel. The problem can sometimes be fixed by increasing volume all the way and then reducing it. But one channel is still quieter. I assume it's either the potentiometer for volume if it has two rails, but I doubt that. Probably is the internal pre amplifier... Do you have a clue?

    • @legobuildingsrewiew7538
      @legobuildingsrewiew7538 16 днів тому

      Also, I don't think it's the volume knob because using the balancer to increase the volume of the quiet channel to the max and waiting a bit makes it work again for some time ( switch back to normal balance after it comes "online")

  • @owlnswan4016
    @owlnswan4016 2 місяці тому

    Yes, but don't use records that are in really good condition in changer mode, if you want them to stay that way (and why wouldn't you). Notice how it slips when each record drops...you can even hear it on the video. That is going to scuff, and it will build up damage over time, along with accidental scuffing in building a stack. Thankfully at least these do not require the overarm to be placed over the records as that is another place to cause damage given most of those make full contact with the record on top (some are just in contact with the label). There were a handful of changer models made by VM that were the gentlest changers ever - they not only excluded the overarm like Technics, but they also stopped the platter from moving while the record was gradually lowered vs dropped, so there was none of the slippage which occurs with even things because the platter is stationary and the record is lowered vs dropped. You're still dealing with potentially scuffing up records in making the stack and taking it apart, along with any warps that may introduce slippage during play, but the player design and mechanism eliminated the other issues. You can watch the best model of these...the 1555...work here: ua-cam.com/video/iF5ALj2GyCE/v-deo.html ...and here (rebranded under Sherwood): ua-cam.com/video/Sk_Mrvce6vg/v-deo.html

      @FunwithVintageHiFi 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment. Of course you do not going to use your precious records on it just in case but to be honest I check this one for that exact reason and I must say that I do not see any particular damage like scuffs and stuff as when is going down is "hitting" sides of the record below if so but I agree that probably using it over and over on some records might get damaged and as you mentioned it is a full contact with record below and in the queue on the top, of course there are a lot of models from different brands that do the changers especially for singles but this one I find it fascinating that Technics did this one.

    The problem with this model was in fact those glass heads. They were great for mechanical wear BUT the composition of the heads made them very unstable at higher frequencies. I tried to have them re adjusted but no good. The higher freq's were missing. anything above say 9 K were gone. Very troubling. I had heard they some people replaced those heads with laminated heads giving much better performance. I was so upset with this model, I finally got a Technics US 1500 US 1/2 track machine to make my master tapes. The response on the US 1500 was 20 to 20K. BTW, the 7010 was heavy 70 some pounds.

    When working, this is a very desirable deck.

      Yes you need to look after it when you got one, this one was serviced and working just fine.

    Got two of these, using a pd-s703 cd, qed anniversary cable and ipl s2tlm speakers. The quality of music reproduction is amazing. Picks up the 16bit video game sample in Lana del Rey's track. An old but seriously capable unit. Recommended.

    Do the rear channels sound like surround sound?

      Hi, It’s hard to compare as I did not connect it to main receiver to have full experience but it does have surround option and it does sound like a proper surround, I think it’s designed with intention to give you a “space” experience like you are in the opera or concert hall, especially that Sansui design special unique units that you can connect to your record player and if record was recorded for quadrophonic lessening that would make it for you all experience. Unit is called: Sansui QC-04 CD-4 Demodulator, I think it’s first take on surrounding sound experience at home, great unit for anyone to check out. Thanks for watching🖖🏻

    Are u spanish? I love old technics ❤ i bought that fm radio and a Akai also. I dont like that they are exclusive or tuner or tape. Maybe a combo tape+tuner in one could be perfect. Very good video. Best regards
