    Model 22 New Relay not responding

    Replaced the relay in my Model 22 cause I figured the old one was bad. Same problem, relay not clicking on. What do I need to look at next? This amp is all original so should I be planning on recapping the power section?

    Should I replace CQ92M capacitor in the signal path with ECWF2124JAQ?

    I am recapping my NAD 2100, mostly changing the electrolytes. But there is a 0,1 uF/50V polyester film cap named CQ92M in the signal path, and I am wondering if it would be an upgrade to replace it with a Panasonic ECWF(A) 0,12 uF/250V that I happen to have in store? Edit: Now I see that I also...

    What is this capacitor for? I can't see it in the schematics

    It is connected between J761 and J758 on the amp board. Do you guys have any spec for this one and alternative replacement if needed? I think it says .01uF KCK

    Crossover Capacitor Quality and Kirchhoff's Laws

    In almost every thread regarding recapping vintage speakers, people refer to capacitors which carry the signal "through" vs. those that "bypass" a driver and therefore don't benefit from a higher quality capacitor. It's my opinion, grounded (no pun intended) in Kirchhoff's laws, that this is...

    A Specific Question about Recapping a Vintage Tuner

    • I recently scored a Sansui Tu-207 tuner. This is the Sansui TU-217 that most of you will be more acquainted with. Of course, the 207 will be in the Japanese bandwidth. (I live in Japan.) • The tuner has not yet arrived, and I don’t know how it is working except the seller says it powers up...

    170DC 47uF decoupling caps

    I am working on a 170DC and I see the decoupling caps are only 47uF but rated for 63V (pretty close I'd say rails are -51V). I wonder if there would be any risks by using larger 100uF/100V caps in this place?

    Transistor vs Capacitor noise

    Hi folks: I just finished a mechanical refurbishment on a Teac A4010S deck. Tape moves fine, pinch roller engages-all good. I tried playing a known good tape, and I get good level, but the sound is distorted. Heads, switches, pots, and audio jacks all clean and noise free. The distortion is...

    Pioneer sx 828 tant caps

    Going through a sx 828 right now and wondering if changing those tant caps will lose some of the magic this amp has. I feel like they had room for e-caps on the tone board so wondering why they chose the tant caps, I could fit some film caps but wonder if I should leave those alone. I know they...

    What are these?

    What brand of capacitors are these? I think these are the same capacitors I have seen in NAD gear. These particular ones are from a Lafayette LR-1100. The smaller caps are closer to +/-20% tolerance but not quite there. The two 100uf from the phono preamp board measured 196.4uf and 197.5uf...

    I wonder if it needs new caps yet?

    At 41 years old, I wonder how the caps are doing? LOL.. lot to be said for mil spec parts and conformal coating with some anti rad shielding.. All jokes aside, pretty damn impressive for a piece of hardware that old in that nasty environment to still be working :)
