Dave how can I PM you? Hoping you can.possibly do some work for me

Thank you so much Dave. I managed to paint myself into a corner..should have just waited until I had all caps at hand. I sure like you have done with that amp ! I will be like Charly Heston. ..they can have my X-1000, when they pry my cold dead fingers from the volume control.

GE/Sylvania fat bottles, of course!

Ok have some pics of bypasses and Cardas

Dave, I messed up. I made a picture of where I was recapping for reference, however I did not move caps and resistors out of line of site to tube pin outs. I already recapped channel A with Jupiter beeswax. I did not have the two needed .10 caps for channel B until today.I I am posting V10 and...

I think Pink Floyd has a song out about your X-1000, Dave. "Welcome to the Machine"

As I managed to motorboat mine with adding too much gain with my Loki in circuit, I would have to be careful with the throttle lol

No link...I may be able to post some pics, though. I should have took some pics of the stock set up, before I did it. Certainly like to have some stock (under the hood pics of Fisher X-1000, also. If I knew how well it would turnout, I would of documented much better. My Tech said it is the...

You tell it, as it is!

Having just posted something related to the subject, I would suggest not to knock it, until you tried it. I HAVE thought about it before..like 4 yrs ago. Now, having done it about a week ago. I wish I had been bolder, sooner. Could care less who pooh poohs the idea, either! I am now; in the...

So now it's over 4 yrs, and finally I got around to bypassing the space expander, Low filter, High filter, and tape monitor. Brave new minimalist approach. Actually, very cost effective. Higher Fidelity for low bucks. Dumped a ton of grunge. Black background and getting blacker, with selective...

The thing with the sound barrier is that you can overdo it. The most you can do is three sides. I always leave backwall of cabinet uncovered, for reflecting waves. The 11/4in stuff really absorbs.

I run a Schitt mani and loki w custom power supply with my turntable.

Hey SET12, Hope you are doing well. Yes..you have downsized a bit. Space is at a premium at times! I Remember when I was in a 1 bedroom efficiency. I had a pair of RB-25's, with nodded cabs I mounted them on hooks in corners of ceiling. Man that woofer got tight with volume. Sounded better...

Luxman CL-34 tube preamp.

Caps, tubes, cables can all take time to burn in.

Addy no worky! Could you PM me?

Yes Tom ! I am just sorts poking around trying to figure this out.

So this is an split load/cathodyne driven design? I can see where the coupling cap, can make a major difference.

I found a broken off lead on the 2nd 6BM8, #2pin. Is there supposed to be another 150 ohm resistor to ground there?

On the second 6bm8 is there also supposed to be a 150 ohm resistor to ground? Appears to be remains of a broken off lead there!

Sorry, took awhile. I did replace three electrolytic caps. Tubes are Ok...mostly around 60%. This little radio sounds very nice tonally. It has one 12ax7. I put a pigtail iec connector on it, so I could switch powercords. I put my HFC Ultimate powercord on it for two days burn in, along with an...

Old thread I know, but does someone know how to set bias on this? Got mine for 29 bucks about 6yrs ago. Very cool radio. Just going through it now.
