Hey folks,
just finished my Sherwood S5000II tupe amp. What a lovely sound! Enjoy it much better compared to the Thorens AZ25 I got as well.
However, the Sherwood came in pretty aweful cosmetic condition. Covered inside with mold all-over and therefore smelling like... Cleaned the baby on the outside and had some issues with the front plate, because the color and painting got away even with water. Then I looked at the inside and cleaned every single cable trying to not unsolder too much to have it a bit easier. Put the pieces back together, polished a bit and connected the Klipsch Heresys... What a sound!!!
Unfortunately after one hour one of the old aluminium capacitos died - that bad boy
but that will be fixed pretty soon.
Great amp!
