    Denon PMA-701 : 2SC1735 & 2SC1775 subs

    Hello, I'm going through a nice Denon PMA-701 amp. Seems a bit cheap in manufacture, but worth restoring. The tone control uses a number of 2SC1775 and 2SC1000. Haven't replaced any yet. The output stage also has a pair of 2SC1775 which I plan to replace by 2SC1845 unless there is a better...

    Denon dp-47f tonearm lift issue after recap

    I recently purchased a Denon DP-47F turntable and everything was functional except I noticed tracking issues. This table is supposed to be an exceptional tracker so obviously something was amiss. I turned the VR5 pot (tracking weight potentiometer) all the way and still the issue was not...

    Denon AVR-1603 receiver shuts down

    I'm not sure if this really counts as vintage, the owner said he thought he bought it 15 years ago. It would power on the display and then turn off during the system self check, and the stand-by light would flash fairly rapidly. I'm only posting this here because this symptom was posted on other...

    Receiver upgrade advice

    I’ve been using an old analog HK twin amp to run JBL Jubels. We mainly stream digital music through an audioengine B1. We also play play vinyl as well, though not as frequently. I want to upgrade to something newer that will drive the JBLs. We don’t really need all the home theater “stuff” but...

    denon sa-3900 service manual and questions about caps.

    I have a denon sa-3900 amplifier that is quieter in one of the channels. I have thoroughly cleaned the switches and pots but that doesn't seem to be the issue. I have been pulling all the electrolytic capacitors of the board to check them but most seem to be within 20% of their rated value. So...
