Dazed and Confused
Anyone have any experience with Mitsubishi amps? Aesthetically speaking they look great to me, but how do they perform?:scratch2:
"Hah, I bought one rather recently."
Soooooooooo it was you that I was battling on eboy! LOL
Ya, They do look like there built like a tank. Did you get the meters with yours? Do the broken heat sinks hurt the performance?
I know about the stats, How do they perform? Sound?
I like them- but here's a little secret-
Those big power caps? Actually two smaller caps hidden under a larger "lid" made to look like one big cap.
In any case, I priced getting them replaced. It would involve 4 caps, and custom PCB board. About 170 for caps, shipping, and labor.
Now the Misubishi sits, alone, on a shelf in my basement. Trust me, it's a great amp, but I love that tube sound better.
See how us men are?.... we'll dump your ass for something else!
Someone left a DA-A10DC on the front steps of my shop a few years ago, along with other stuff including a Teac reel to reel.
Abandoned.... So I took it in.
After some cleaning, a few new caps, and balancing the voltages, it cranked!
Excellent power, stability, and clean sound! And the sucker weighs like 37 pounds! A real tank!
I used it for a few years until I found the love of my life, my Maggie 9304-20(see tube amp threads)
