This glassfuses are usable to 250 V by standard. The F 6,3A means a Fast blow fuse, i have never seen them used for filaments - filaments are only supported by the main fuse. Fast blow fuses started with the use of solid state semiconductors in the radios. The tubes in this unit all work with...

Hi, had the same issues with my vinyl - but after 35 years of operating my Thorens TD 160 MK ll it was time for maintenance - adjustment of tonearm bearings and exact adjustment of cartridge- not an easy job ! I wrote about it here in AK -Thorens Owners Club. Then the miracle happens : No more...

Original Pilsner Urquell from the barrell - it was around 1978 when my boss send me to a technical training for central dictation systems for 4 weeks. The Hotel had 4 stars and all this was payed by Philips. We just have to sign the bill in the name of Philips every evening, i mean someone of...

Hi, did the same thing with my Spendor Preludes, changed ElytCaps to PolyCaps, wasn´t happy what i heard after my " upgrade " Some years later i go back with LL ( Low Leakage ) ElytCaps from Falconacoustics. After some time of burn in, the sound is very well with ElytCaps. I might say that...

It was yesterday ( sunday ) evening that i had this roomfill effect while listening with my Spendor BC1´s to piano jazz. Feels like the piano was implemented in my room, was amazed and a little bit confused.

Sorry, Pot change seems not so easy because Your TA2 uses a combinied Volume / Balance Motor-Pot, my R1 just a simple Volume Motor-Pot 2X50K Log. Can´t help here. The Gold plated Speaker relay was in my stock but the pinout was different to Nak, so i pulled the origin and soldered cables, laid...

Hi, i own the Nakamichi Receiver 1, the circuit design is very close to Your´s. Had also this unbalance problem with mine. The main volume potentiometer was the reason. Just a lowprice part as thick as my thump was installed and the variations between the channels from zero to 10 o´clock were...

Sorry, i´m not a German Radiotech, just a +++ Büroinformationselektroniker-Meister +++ eat this ! Don´t forget to replace the main Bridge Rectifier, often forgotten in the recap-rush.

I am not on facebook but could watch the movie - thanks :thumbsup:

. Air core inductors don´t come into saturation like iron cores do. It makes sense to use them in the woofers area because 95 % of the energy running in here. Guude

Make a google search for Your speaker model - but search pictures- if you find photos from inside you can check if your speakers are connected right to the crossovers. My Celestions have DC resistance of 13Ohms but the impedance is 16Ohms. It is recommended to know the difference between DC...

Hi, this is the same tweeter setup like my Spendor BC1´s . The Coles 4001 Supertweeter often fail, the Celestion HF1300 usually not. Coles 4001 are here: https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/drive-units-1/coles-4001-drive-units.html If there are Filmcaps in the Crossovers there´s mostly no need for...

Hi, i own a Xiang Sheng DAC 01A, bought 10 yrs ago direct from China. Mine had a Chi-tube in it which i replaced last yr with a NOS russian 6N3P - military tube, built around 1990. Not only that the sound is much better vs OpAmps or Chitube - the russians offer me that 180 degree stage...

Copy out of: HiFi Jahrbuch 1972 .

This unit use a softstart device, this PB1021 in center. This PB1021 needs a DC Voltage to engage the relay and power up the Unit. So DBT won´t work even with rectifiers pulled.

Hello, i own the Nakamichi Receiver1 and it is Microprozessor controlled. After the change of the Backup Battery the unit wont´t power up, not by remote, not by anything and the power LED shows red. After a reset of the MC-Prozessor - described in the SM- the unit powers up and all works good...

Nytech CA252 works in my daughters house, Spendor SA1 are gone but now i own Spendor BC1 Germany . My wedding with this brand is described in the Spendor Thread.

Some inside pictures of real craftsmanship Phono MM Preamp built with selectet separat parts - no IC - sounded better then all my other stuff - inclusive Tubeamp. No scratching from the pots - no recap - just bias adjustment after 20 yrs of running and still sounds amazing.

Nytech CA252 bought in 1984 together with my Spendor SA1
