Also in search of a TU919 to go with my AU919.

Hope you have got those black flags out!

I still want to get one of those big amps.

The X900Z series sound really nice for the money.

Sorry I did not get the black flag reference.

There are capacitors in the AU-919 that many refer to as "black flag" capacitors. They fail and cause big problems.
They should be replaced.

Thank you for the information. I will talk to the person I use for Vintage Equipment repair about it.
