    Soundcraftsmen MTX S800 battery charger

    I needed a battery charger for a 144V hybrid tractor project I'm working on. I also have a MTX Soundcraftsmen S800 amp for parts. It is the same style as the old Soundcraftsmen PCR800, PM840/860 with regulated power supply. I needed the amp section to repair an S860, so I had everything else...

    LF pretty amp with VU meters and plenty of power and good value

    I only have my Pioneer AV-R to drive the B&W N803 at the moment. There's also my EL34 tube amp, but I'd rather not damage that baby, I guess (through using it constantly, I mean). Also, there's a little minime on the way, so the tube amp will likely have to disappear into storage for a couple...

    Vincent SV-237 Hybrid Integrated Amp. Thoughts on a matching DAC?

    Just got my first tube amp...the Vincent sv-237. It had a tung-sol 12ax7 on the front and two mismatched 61NP on the rears, I think both Russian but the labels were a bit faded so not sure exactly what the rears are. I read the rears should be matched so I'm thinking of getting these...

    First week experience with a PHEV

    Well, after 21 years of owning my current car, an Audi S3, I went and got myself a new one. Influenced by family and friends, I opted for a PHEV rather than a 4WD petrol engine, so my new car is an Audi Q3 TFSIe plug in hybrid. It's a brand new car and sold as a premium one, so of course...

    Anyone seen these before? - Infinity HCA Hybrid Class A Amps

    In terms of non-speaker infinity products, FET preamps and the tonearm are all I've ever seen before. I've seen Klaus's page on these before but never seen any listings for them or anything. I'd love to hear what Nudell and his crew cooked up for amplification back in the '70s, and if the seller...

    Luxman LV-105 Pots No Longer Available

    Hi All, I have a Luxman LV-105 that I'd like to repair if possible. The bass adjustment pops loudly in a couple spots at the middle, and the treble adjustment pops at a spot near the high end. When I set the volume adjustment at a low setting, loud enough to enjoy without waking the family...

    Amp and Preamp for $8k?

    Alright I've posted threads before looking for some insight on what I should upgrade to but ultimately at that time I didn't have the money saved to really take anything seriously. many hrs of overtime later I've saved up some cash for something new (restoring vintage gear isn't cheap either). I...

    The future is here!.

    ok, so recently (October), my wife decided she was ready to go car shopping and scale back from a big unwieldy Mazda CX-9 crossover. Kids are in high school, less big family rides with extra junk so a sedan will suit us fine. Plus the Mazda was a 20mpg vehicle, give or take. Also, I’ve been...

    TFM-300 Suddenly Stopped Working

    Last Spring I fixed up a TFM-300 tuner (replaced all electrolytic caps, had everything else tested) and for several months it worked perfectly with no incident. A couple of days ago while tuned into a station playing Christmas music the signal faded out and now I just get static. It doesn't pick...

    Fisher TFM-300 Up and Running!

    Finally got my Fisher TFM-300 tuner restored and made it part of my stereo system! (I'm running it through my Realistic SAF-40D integrated tube amp). Sounds great, and I just love the way it lights up from the red stereo beacon light to the grid pattern the metal case projects onto the wall. I...

    Fisher TFM-300- Replacing Selenium Rectifier

    I have already posted this in the General Audio thread, but I figured I'd repost it here as well. I'm in the process of restoring a Fisher TFM-300 tuner. It's been advised that I replace the selenium rectifier in the unit but I've never replaced one before. I bought this full-wave bridge...

    The Fisher TFM-300 Tuner: Worth Restoring?

    My uncle has an old Fisher TFM-300 tuner lying around and I was wondering if these early (mostly) solid-state units were worth fixing up. It's got the 6AL5 and 6CW4 "Golden Synchrode" front end. I know the can caps and all the filter caps underneath the chassis need replacing, but I'm wondering...

    Changing the Turntable on a Zenith Cobramatic and making a hybrid

    Hi AudioKarma! I acquired a mint mid-century modern zenith with tube amps. It sound beautiful & everything works perfectly. However, I know the tone arm on these turntables are heavy and can damage records so I want to change the turntable. Here is a few scenarios I have in mind and hopefully...

    Using an inexpensive tube preamp to drive a proper amp?

    Hi all, Please excuse the utter noobish-ness of this post. I've looked around a lot and come away completely confused. So, I've had to return my Monoprice hybrid tube amp because of a faulty power supply. While I really like the look and sound of my little amp, it seems to me more sensible to...

    Alternative to the Monoprice hybrid tube amp?

    Hi all, I picked up one of the $99 refurbed Monorpice hybrid tube amps a few weeks ago and just love it paired with my Polk RTi6s! Unfortunately, it has developed a buzzing sound and after reading a lot of other reviews I just don't trust the quality control on this guy anymore. I thought...

    Is a Technics SA 5370K worth it?

    I have the opportunity to get this thing for about 55$ and usually gear like this costs double or more on the auction sites in my country(even lo-fi gear is terribly overpriced). It looks good, no scratches, no dents. The add says that some stations do not come in in stereo all the time. It...
