thanks!, the thing is that there is only one original in there.. and there are some resistors which also have been replaced and they are a bit burned, and still the amp works with no issues.. Do you think the "G" kind of transistors can be used instead of the originals?. Thanks

Hey there, I'm actually planning the recap of this little amp but the one I bought it seems it was repaired at least once and the ouput transistors were replaced for different equivalent ones, it has only 1 original RCA transistor, therefore I would like to use the closest possible to the...

Can I ask you what's the advantage of putting bigger caps? I'm planning to recap one too, by chance, do you sell the board only? Thanks

Thanks a lot for the info guys! I will have a look at your suggestions!

Thanks!, I would go for vintage speakers for sure.. but I've checked the size of the Genesis I and II and they are considerable bigger than the Dali Oberon's I have now

Hey there! I bought not so long ago a to-be-restored-soon 3120 and I tested it with a pair of Dali Oberon 3 (6 ohm) but they are pretty big (physically) for the layout I want to build and I'm planning to sell them.. therefore I would like to ask whether you guys have any advise which bookshelf...

@BilboBaggins thanks a lot!, I just saw your message.. for some reason I never got the notification email.. So far I'm very happy with the configuration I'm having now. From first sight comparing the Sansui and the NAD M10 I realized that the M10 is designed to have a subwoofer.. it doesn't...

Thanks a lot for the info guys, really appreciate, actually I tested the amp and it sounds pretty good except from the loud pop, but yes.. this amp seems to be altered/repaired, I will go step by step following the useful posts around here regarding this amp and the 3020 and will do the things...

Hey there! I read such a lot of reviews and opinions about this amp that after almost a year searching for one in Germany, I finally got one for 100eur in pretty good condition, not great, but it works, even though it makes a quite loud pop while turning it on. After being restored a Sansui...

It seems to be a challenging project.. it could be difficult to find the original output transistors but I've restored one some years ago and it sounded so good afterwards that it worth every second I've spent with it.. plus you have a lot of information in the forum to do it, you can also use...

So I got the L96s for 700eur.. I could fight the price a bit due to the mid-cone hole and so far I'm very happy with the upgrade!, I couldn't find (so far, it still remains a lot of tests) soo much difference with the L50s but still, there are so many better things I can hear now.. I'm waiting...

Because I like to revive old good amps, I've done it with a Sansui AU-217, AU-317 and AU-717, all of them with outstanding results, plus is something that passionates me and usually such amps are worthy to restore because they are very well made but I have some doubts about this pioneer.. as...

Hey there! I've found on the street (aka, somebody threw away) a Pioneer SA-7300 which is in quite bad condition.. the power switch is broken, like somebody hit it with something some time ago and they did a bridge/jumper to keep it on permanently, also the relay has a wire around the main...

Thanks for the hints! I didn't know the KD500 and it looks like a very good turntable.. now I'm tempted for that one.. I like doing refurbish of good old stuff and for the KD500 there's a lot of info out there but even though I like my PL-540, there's not much info.. I will have a deeper look...

Thanks for the hints! @Coolhandjjl I've been searching for that turntable but it comes up the model Kenwood KD-2055 and it seems to be more into the budget territory, at least compared to the pioneer I have it seems to be lower quality, or am I missing the model? @lazycat yes, I'm tempted by...
