My McIntosh MR80...

Posted by Cougar (A) on January 22, 2024 at 14:20:55

Is back in the main system after a few years of not using it due to the Stereo Mode not working. Every once in awhile it would engage and work for a few mins and then go off.

I took it out of it's box last week and put in the system and asked for help over on AK and I had posted there when I first got it. Since the stations were coming in Strong and Clear, I figured it had to be something that was slightly out and no alignment was needed.

I was instructed to go look at the 228KHz and sure enough, it was out. Measured 225KHz. Adjusted it to 228KHz and now I have stereo mode on all the stations that should have it on.

Now, after I did the upgrades to the PS and Audio section a few years back I'm finally getting a chance to hear what I did and how nice it sounds now.

I'm listening to stations here in SD and in LA. I even get that KUSC College station that's about 125 miles from me along with KJAZZ from UC Long Beach.
