Just added a pair of Model 9s. I just received them yesterday. The seller did not know the status other than the Meters lit up...:idea: So inspected them closely. Cosmetics are 9 out of 10 for one of them, almost a 10 for the other... They could use some cleaning. But figured let me focus on...

Repairing a scope transformer on a 2110... I disassembled the transformer and found the thermal fuse was popped... The fuse was burried deep in the winding so its a pain in the butt that really needs a rewind. I am replacing it and will rewind the primary side of the transformer. Will...

Well I pick up a 2325 the other day in 9.8 of 10 cosmetic shape...with a mint wood cabinet. Not a single lamp out, stock outputs. Very clean inside. But the left channel was out.... Turned out the left channel only had a pinched wire from some shielding in the preamp.... Took a couple hours...

So it has been a long standing goal to have an SS system that has no electrolytic caps in the signal path. Ok the main system is a cdpro with a homebuilt tube DAC , 7t, 500 and Ohm Fs. The Fs have no crossovers... So that was easy... The 500 had one 10u tantalum coupling cap on the...

No one home this morning but me, the dog and the system.... Made some recent mods and wanted to give them a high power spin.... With no one home I got the chance to let the system run and stretch its legs..... It gave me goose bumps with a live recording of the DM Band in Central Park. I was...
