Onkyo Vintage Receivers question of the day
Question problem with vintage Onkyo stereo...?
I have an old Onkyo "Quartz Locked Stereo Receiver" from (probably) the 80's. I have noticed that the unit "clicks" and then stops sending a signal to the speakers when the input from my iPod is too high. It's a 200w receiver. Do I need better speakers? The problem seems to stop when I turn the volume down on the iPod. Thanks in advance!
Best Answer The power amplifiers are probably going into safety shutdown to keep from frying them. You may have too low of a load impedance on the amps - especially if you are driving more than one pair of speakers. For example, 2 4-Ohm speakers on a single channel presents an impedance of 2 Ohms. If your amplifier is rated at 200 watts, that probably means 100 watts per channel. If that is rated for an 8 ohm load, then the max rms current that the amp can deliver is 3.4 amps. If you have a 2 Ohm load on the amp, and it trips out at 4 amps, then it will quit at only 32 watts delivered.

Question What is the best way to sell 80's & early 90's vintage stereo equipment?
I have an Onkyo receiver that I bought new in '81, a Yamaha 5 disc carousel CD player w/ remote control that I bought new in '90, and a pair of Ohm speakers, Model C (70's vintage, a gift from a friend so I don't know exactly). All of this equipment still works well. I know that none of them are very valuable at this point, but I want to get rid of them prior to moving to avoid storing them. There are a few of those retail dealers in my area (Washington, DC) that buy used items and resell them on eBay. Would that be a good way to sell my equipment? I don't have the time to list them on eBay myself, or deal with the packaging & shipping if someone buys them. I know that such dealers take a comission, but that's OK because I just want to get whatever I can for this equipment. All suggestions are welcome.
