For the caps in the 50uF (500V) range it is no problem to find multicaps from JJ, F&T or CE, etc. However, in an amp (Luxman SQ38FD) I have there...

    Optimizing Performance of Spendor BCIII

    Hi folks, I recently bought a pair of Spendor BCIII's, and I'm noticing a bit of harshness, especially in the high frequencies. Everything sounds good at VERY low volume, but as soon as I give them any juice, the sound quality suffers. All drivers are functional. I've been told that these are...

    Luxman R-1050 Keeps Going into Protection Mode?

    It's weird, it's the best sounding receiver I've ever owned. Makes my SA-7500MkII sound like childs play. It will randomly go into protection, popping the speakers and then come out. Sometimes it will stay in protection for quite sometime, sometimes it will not go into protection at all after...
