Ok, so far it looks like it’s got some life in it yet.
Two things I notice right off the bat. It runs hot. Not fry an egg hot, but there’s heat coming off it. Second, the faceplate has the same feel as the back of my phone when it’s charging. It’s got a weird electric sensation - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-5-weird-feeling-while-charging.1494057/
Strangely, it’s only detectable on the anodized face, the internal rails and other metal do not give off this same sensation. Coincidentally, the back of my phone is also anodized. Maybe it’s got something to do with that type of coating. Idk?
Another thing is that it absolutely smells like a Sony. LOL Not sure how to describe that any other way, but I’ve owned 4 Sony receivers over the years, and they’ve all smelled exactly like this.
Anyway, while I’m happy to see it’s at least coming to life, I’m not exactly ready to call it fully operational yet. Let’s give it some time, and maybe a stretch tomorrow in the daytime when I can take it beyond -48 on the “Attenuator” - oooh Fancyy!! LOL
As for the sound, seems to sound every bit as good as my CR-1020, and that’s not a complaint at all.
Thanks for your help folks, I do very much appreciate it. Let’s hope this works out. In the meantime, gonna have to see about making some new panels.
