Hi all,
I’m repairing a Class A MOSFET amplifier with a blown channel. One N-channel output MOSFET was found shorted. Each channel uses three N-channel and three P-channel MOSFETs.
I initially replaced the failed device, but when checking the channel with thermal imaging, I noticed that one...
So ive got this Sony TA-1010 that has blown left channel outputs 2SC895 and a driver 2SC1124 on left channel so my question is can you use the MJE15032G
(keep in mind the originals all are NPN too, this amp uses all NPN for outputs)

Hi all, new here. Complete amateur to audio too. I can recognize a descending major or minor 6th within seconds, but electrical equations leave me clueless. That's why I'm asking for specific advice from one who understands it... I need to know how to buy a suitable receiver/amp (and speaker...

Now, I know that matching...
The shop amp is back on the bench for repairs after an event during use which was a loud pop followed by red plating of a finals tube. The amp was shut down and the tube replaced but to no avail. There was nothing more to be heard from it.

Hi all,
I'm putting together three systems out of the list of gear below. Any suggestions on what would match best and what to leave out? I'm currently running the Sansui, the Technics SL-1600 and the JBL L100s as my main system in my living room and I'm happy with that setup. Other two systems...
I have one and a half B&K ST-140 amps, and I'd like to convert them to a dual mono amp that would be similar in design (but not identical) to the older versions of the B&K EX-442. One of the amps I have now is the regular stereo model which I've already done some parts replacements and...
Wondering what speakers I should match with my rotel rx-604. I am on a relatively low budget <$1500 for the whole system(turntable, speakers, amp,)
I love my vintage audio and I do my research to make sure I'm getting the best value for the dollar.
I always aim for warmth so I get that fuzzy...
