A big bedlated thank you to Larry and Dave! I am ok with the Calrad box for now. I may get adventurous and wire into the plug sometime, It is a great sounding unit, and the FM mono is so good that I often didn't miss stereo before I got the adaptor.

So I finally got back home and snapped some pics. The adaptor works if I hook the outputs to the Aux input, but then that’s tied up. I could use a Calrad input selector I suppose. My question was about feeding the MPX output into the dummy socket somehow so I could use the FM MPX position on...

Thanks Larry. I'll get some pics when I get back home in a couple of days.

I have a 100T Coronet preceiver and a Pilot MPX adaptor. Unfortunately, my 100T is early production without the MPX input jacks. Is there a way to feed the MPX ‘ed signal to the dummy plug socket? I would have no idea what the pinout would be on the socket. Thanks in advance!

Hello. I bought a SX-780 from you a while back. The FM is coming in and out - any chance you could ave a look at it? Thanks! Bill in Lawrence 780-3480

Hey Ron. I bought your Knight 15’s 3 years ago. My Fisher 500C blew a JJ output tube and that may have done some damage. One of them has a crossover issue with very low output to the T35. Bypassed the pot-no change. Put on an 8K hz test tone straight to the T35 and it goes to full volume...

Hey! Thanks for the post. There are indeed el cheapo gems to be had. I just did not expect a high end, high dollar component to be such a turd.

One of the absolute monuments of orchestration.

Mayby not the worst, but certainly by far the most disappointing piece I've had was a Mac MR77 tuner, reworked 3 times by one of the more visible shops that has a banner here, who shall remain nameless (not Terry).. It sounnded great on crappy staions above about 97 mhz, but would absolutely...

Hello.Interested in your 780 Pioneer. I am in Philly for another 2 weeks or so. Thanks, Bill in Lawrence 785-760-3480

In my listening test (several years ago now), there was no doubt about the superior refinement of the X1000. However, it has a lot more circuitry, and I think the simpler signal path of the 500C keeps the music fresher, if perhaps a bit less polished. I used to host Head Fi meets, and at one...

That's a great rig you have - the Fisher Holy . Perhaps you have an exceptional X1000, and I have an exceptional 500C ?? My restored X-1000 sounded clear, warm and wonderful, - and certainly cleaner than the 500C. However, in the end it just did not have the open ambiance of the 500C - the...

Here’s my X-1000 story from about 10 years ago: I had an X-1000 and a 500C, both updated by Terry DeWick and both in top shape. One day, I had the whole house to myself for a day and decided to have a “Clash of the Fisher Titans” with some good classical CD’s, mostly large orchestral with some...

Thanks, guys. It now seems to be pretty common knowledge the the JJ7591 tube tends to have issues. Ten years ago, they were newly released and hailed as fantastic because they were the only new issue tube that would fit the Fisher wooden case. I like the bullet analogy! Terry has...
