    Stereo imaging and the witchcraft of circuitry design

    I thought I understood imaging and setting things up for a good sound stage - good speakers, speaker placement, minimize reflections, good source material with some recordings being better than others. But recently I’ve run into a situation where I’m at a loss. My problem seems to be not the...

    Bright system

    Circa 2002, I bought a used Rotel RC1070 & RB1070, manufactured in 1998. Around that same time I purchased brand new speakers, the Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2. They have been part of my 2 channel system and I have been loving them. Recently I found the sound stage not as deep and wide as it...

    KLH Six, are these capacitors already upgraded?

    New owner of a pair of some KLH Six speakers. One is old.. I haven't opened that one yet. The newer of the two has 169*** serial number, with the screw in woofer and recessed back plate. Do these caps look like they've already been replaced? I don't have the full backstory, the owner...

    Technics SU-V6 Re-capping Question

    Thank you in advance for reading - I have a Technics SU-V6 that I am recapping (some distortion in the right channel, no bass in the left channel, I have confirmed it is the unit causing the issue. It was purchased in 1981 by my parents, and so I expect the caps are bad (none have failed...

    Re-capping Technics SL-Q3 question

    Good Afternoon! I've recently acquired a Technics SL-Q3 and I want to replace the capacitors because it would be a fun project and for peace of mind. According to the schematics, C205 is showing it should be 10uf 16v but I found on C205 on the board is 220uf 6.3v, which is odd because every...

    A way to use screw terminal caps where solder terminals originally were.

    While working on several amps lately I have come up with a nice way to adapt screw terminal filter caps where solder tab caps were originally used. I have not seen this method but it may not be new? I was recently refurbishing two sets of Kenwood L-05M monoblocks and came up with the following...

    a newbie, a sansui (AU-317) and a community :)

    Hello everyone, Right now everyone is talking about the Coronavirus, but I contracted another virus: the Vintage Virus! Long story short, I sold all my modern gear (except speakers) and I really, really enjoy learning about 70s receivers and amplifiers. I have now the following equipment...

    H.H. Scott S-15 Cap Change Question

    I want to change out capacitors in my daughter's S-15s to metalized polypropylenes. I know I can run two values in series to equal a target value, but... What would be the damage if I replaced the pair of 5uf caps with 5.1uf caps? Each speaker takes a pair of 10ufs and a pair of 5ufs. I tried...
