    Cornscala build

    i know what ya mean.....I'd say it's mostly birch plywood but, a bit lighter etc.....FWIW, before this build, I never had assembled or built a cabinet before, and was literally winging it, aside from online info, etc. It's the best way to go, for sure. I also tried to get baffles from Crites...

    Cornscala build

    find a cabinet shop locally, I'm not sure if Crites still makes or ships cabs for assembly due to too many or much damage from shupping companies, etc. I was able to find one locally a year ago; I was attempting to test all sorts of variations, in order to lower the price of entry for my...

    Big Horn Recommendation (Like a K-402, but slightly smaller and cheaper)

    this is the big biradial, sitting on top of one of my bass cabs before I stained them, etc. I was referring to, oddly enough found a pic with it on the floor as well next to the 18 x 10 ZXPC for depth reference. I'm actually still not finished completely with the speakers due to wprk overload...

    Big Horn Recommendation (Like a K-402, but slightly smaller and cheaper)

    SMaller? like as in the length? I have a pair of what I think are horns built by community light and sound....not sure it's size in relation to the 400, other than it's like 25.5 inches wide and like mouth it 10inches tall. It sounded awesome with the venerable 2 inch PRV horn in prior...

    Adcom 5300 Schematics

    unfortunately, he won't "because he knows he packed it very well" and has shipped much equipment before, denying any responsibilty. I just stopped communicating with him after other members contacted me regarding him in particular about being a known liar, etc. But yeah, I agree with you no...

    Adcom 5300 Schematics

    wondering if one of ya'll might be able to help me out over here. I had an AK member mail me a 5300 wrapped in bubble wrap; so you can imagine what happened. Anyway, I have the later model with the independent T2 transformer added to supply power to both boards. Bang was so bad the toroidal...

    I can get the board with the T2 transformer unscrewed/ off their chassis stand offs the board an screws/standoffs are bent to the right when looking at the amp from the front (same direction wherein the main tansformer butted up against it in transit). As far as specs go......if I'm going to...

    Adcom 5300

    Outta curiosity, how was the recapping of your unit? EVerything pretty much easy, or I mean just in terms of access and replacing parts spec for spec? Or are there some things that I should know about......or perhaps need to upgrade specifically? I have the feeling I'm going to have to replace...

    Adcom 5300

    supposedly, it doesn't shorten the lifespan.......as long as the heatsinks stabilize at 50 degrees Celsius. Or "if one doesn't have a way to read the temp, its threshold would be when one can place their hand on the heatsinks for at least 10 seconds". yeah, I know.......I'm probably more...

    Adcom 5300

    Thanks, as I may have experience working and building amps, a lot of it was basically paint by number after getting soldering experience. But I typically have stayed away from power supply work, sans maybe using a SMPS etc,. Granted this is more of a voltage selecting/power standby situation...

    Adcom 5300

    SO would something like this be the answer? I wanna say the adcom had jumpers so it could be wired for 110 or 220 volts ac......and then from this stanby thermal protection it sends 12 volts ac into each board/channel . ...

    Adcom 5300

    I'll have to look into the 12volt transformer that was mentioned. I repair equipment sometimes but usually spend it building speakers. But I'm at the finish line in that area and now am just trying to figure out which way I wanna go. I've got ACAs and SET Tube AMps for 2 channel. But with a...

    FWIW I picked up an AMC 2100 amp for 20 bucks.....good lord. Talk about value, even for normal prices but are getting harder to find. I had one in mint condition that I passed on as well for this adcom....But yeah big toriodal supply and basic roomy setup like Pass amps.....Smooth and clean...

    yeah, I somehow missed the scratches. I just looked at the money shot of the innerds.....only because I've had stupid mishaps with my gear and scratched the hell outta one unit by accident. But yeah, I've been looking for various similar type purchases.....and already have a GFA 535....that I...

    Adcom 5300

    Yeah, you'd think I'd know the rules by now; but didn't want to shame him at least while there's a chance he will do the right thing. But hell, I'd love for any and everyone to tell redstarjedi that shipping an adcom power amp in a loose box of styro peanuts is not packed well. Yeah he wrapped...

    Adcom 5300

    He won't file a claim because "he knows he packed it very very well" and therefor my responsibility; and mentioned that besides, the USPS is notorious for denying claims. It was insured but he doesn't know the amount but said it was probably a little more than I paid for it. But, he's the one...

    there's so many of these amps I figured I'd find a parted out board somewhere, but nope......plenty of entire left or right outputs with heatsinks though.

    yep, Pio 1980 that seems to be the case. I've looked through adcom parts catalogue and theres a sunfire transformer replacement. But it says the pins won't match so it wold have to be hardwired. But yeah I'm sure it vibrated the whole way here along with the drop. The box is over twice the...

    Here ya go.....it's strange some amps don't even have said board. But that's the lil transformer /autoformer etc. I set it on the heatsink....the missing soldered legs are rattling around in the case as well. I've never had a single item packed and delivered in such a way from AK. There was a...

    yeah, it's not the HUGE toroidal transformer.....well that did slide a bit to the right; but the lil small elcor transformer on a small board on the front right.....in the front, but on the opposite side of the power switch. it had like 8-10 windings soldered into the PCB.....and yeah, it 100%...

    So, I'm really hoping somone on here can help me out in trying to fix this heavy paper weight that someone sent me on barter town. Even after paying 80 bucks for shipping and it was sent cross country in a big box 1/4 full of styrofoam peanuts (and wrapped once in bubble wrap)...
