    Accuphase E-202 - from 117 v to 240 v ?

    Greetings all! I just bought an Accuphase from the US and shipped it here in Europe (Finland). According to the seller it had been thoroughly checked by a local tech. Apparently the four big caps have been replaced with Nichion LGK Gold, same value as originals. I tested it with an old step...

    C-200 preamp, starting to >POP<

    Hi all, I have an Accuphase c-200 that works really well. Lately, it's started popping. If I leave it on with no music playing, every once in awhile (I'd say, an average of every half hour or so), it'll just emit a single >POP< sound. Somewhere between a thump and a pop. Problem seems to be...

    Accuphase preamps: C-200 vs. C-222

    Hi Folks, I currently own a pristine non-recapped C-200 preamp, and like it a lot. However, I don't like that it doesn't accept MC cartridges in the phono stage, thus necessitating pre-preamplification (head amp). Does anyone have an opinion on how the later model C-222 (which accepts MC in...

    Accuphase E-202 Clipping when bass boost

    Hi, I recently revived an old Accuphase E-202, but when I turn on the bass boost, I can hear slight clipping. I have not re-cap the unit, only work done is replacement all the failing and ailing transistors on the power supply board (719-0004-00), main drive amp board (710-0002-00) and the...

    Grado HP-1000 > Great, but not with my amp.

    Hello and Happy New Year! I have a very nice pair of Grado HP-1000 drivers in custom black walnut cups. I'm using an Accuphase C200 preamp to amplify them. Both of these pieces are excellent, but I wonder how well mated they are. I have to turn the volume up to the 1 o'clock position just to...

    Grado HP-1000 meets Accuphase C-200

    Hi all, I have a pair of Grado HP-1000 drivers in walnut cups. Great, beautiful headphones. I am also using an Accuphase C-200 preamp, which i love, and I use the headphone jack on this to power my headphones. The sound produced is excellent, but it's insane how high I need to crank it.

    Help: Accuphase XLR pin 3 hot into XLR pin 2 hot? (no unbalanced avail)

    I'm picking up an old Accuphase G-18 equalizer to offset my hearing loss. My research shows that the G-18 has pin 3 hot. How do I resolve this hook up anomaly, as the Accuphase has pin 3 hot, and my Boulder 865 has pin 2 hot? There are no unbalanced inputs on my Boulder. Thanks, a befuddled Ken

    Accuphase E-202 No Sound

    Hello everyone, Hope y’all had a great holiday weekend. So, I started an Accuphase E-202 thread sometime late last year and I was getting help from many of the gurus here at AK. Unfortunately I got sick and had to place many of my projects in standby to focus on my health. I was trying to get...

    Accuphase P-300 Relay issue

    Hello everyone and happy Easter holiday. I wanted to pick your brains about an Accuphase P-300 that I recently acquired. The unit has two relays (one on each side of the amp close to the front). The relay on the left (behind the power switch) clicks like crazy when the amp is cold or when I...

    Preamps & my Accuphase C-200

    Hi all, Yesterday in an AK forum exchange it was suggested to me that my Accuphase C200 (circa mid-70s) preamp was a weak link in my system (I have a nice TT/Cartridge and the C-200 is sending a signal to a Kenny 700M and then to Tannoy Golds). This opinion surprised me- I've always thought the...

    Tuner Advice

    I have a Marantz Model 20 (not 20B), and a Sony ST-5000FW. A Radio X modified ST-5000FW is the best sounding tuner I've ever heard, but I've certainly not heard everything. What would be the better tuner in which to invest with restoration/modifications? What other tuners would be recommended...

    Pointer bulb burnt Accuphase T-101

    I have a dial pointer on the T-101 that is burnt out. This may be the same as the T-100, i am not sure. The bulb needs to be replaced. Has anyone done this? I can't figure out how to get the bulb out; it's nestled inside the pointer assembly itself, which is like a long narrow box, and there are...

    Accuphase T-101 and T-100: sound/build quality

    I am going to purchase one of the two tuners mentioned in the title. The 100 is a bit more expensive and has a single big scrape on it. The 101 is overall very good shape and is about 3/4 the price. I don't care much for AM radio, so the 100 is not appealing in that regard. Reviews seem to...

    Kenwood 700C and the Accuphase C200 preamps

    Hi AK'ers, I own a 700M power amp and I love it. But I hate tweaking the super sensitive volume knobs individually on each channel every time I want to adjust volume. I need a preamp! I'd love to acquire a 700C pre since it is the logical mate to the 700M, but they are hard to find and quite...
