    Vintage Denon amp output on 0 volume?

    Alright so apologies if this is not the correct place to post this as I'm yet to get my head around this site... I got my hands on a Denon PMA-320 integrated amp (circa 1989) today and have spent a couple of hours troubleshooting an unusual output issue: when the volume is at 0 there is still...

    Sony STR-3800L - Transistor replacements on output board

    Hi, I need to replace the transistors on a Sony STR-3800L output board as both outputs are shorted. The last four transistors in the list differ with the service manual. References in bold were originally installed in this amp, which may be an early specimen (serial at rear is in the 5007xx...

    Need Help Fixing the Output on a KA-8100

    Hi, In the middle of restoring my KA-8100 when discovered the right channel output is basically half of the left. I'm measuring the output over the audio spectrum (20-20k Hz). The source input is on the AUX input @0.150mV to both R&L. This results in good voltages on the pre out terminals...

    MX113 Low Left Channel

    Hi all. Just finished replacing all of the important capacitors on my MX113. I did not change any transistors, I do not have experience diagnosing transistor issues. Working great with two caveats: - A low hiss on both channels. Happens on both Aux and Tape inputs, and both Main and Tape...

    TO3 MOSFET - end of life

    I just went to get some new TO3 output transistors from ProFusion / Exicon, and they are now marked as 'end-of-life'. Better get them while they last. Does anyone know of any other TO3 lateral MOSFET transistors out there that are made by reputable companies...

    Do the Yamaha CR-1020 and 2020 have the same output amps?

    Hi all, I feel kind of silly asking this but where comparing pictures the amp output assemblies and parts look identical. I have not been able to compare parts lists for these two and thought I would ask since a lot of parts are interchangeable on these.

    OnSemi ThermalTrak power transistors

    OnSemi finally did what so many have suggested and put a matched bias diode junction in the same case as the output transistor. They call them ThermalTrak and is a 5-pin TO-264 case. No more bias lag issues. I will have to try these out. Datasheet attached.

    Marantz 2220B output issues

    Hello! I have a 2220B and I’m having some issues with the output in the right channel. I looked through other similar posts and have switched out the output relay as suggested. It’s seemed fine but now it’s doing it again. It will get crackly and then eventually stop working all together. When I...

    Do I need a phono preamp?

    I have a Koetsu cartridge with an output of 0.4 Millivolts. My receiver is a Marantz 2275. My question is, do I need an additional phono preamp to accommodate the moving coil cartridge? I have been listening to my turntable with it connected directly to the Marantz receiver, with the only...

    Sansui 6060 - output transistor orientation

    Recently acquired a 6060 in a few pieces. This is the later version with the F-2701 amplifier board and vertical heatsink. Upon opening up the cabinet, all 4 output transistors (2SD188A & 2SB545A) plus a few other surprises were inside a ziploc bag. I do not have a schematic showing the F-2701...

    Strange output transistor setup on JVC 4VN-880

    I am attempting to clean an extra-dirty JVC 4VN-880 (was used in a bar for 30 years). When I looked at how would I remove the output transistors, I found something I’m not familiar with: On the opposite heatsink side that the transistor is, there is a strange connector composed by two...

    Choosing an ouput pair

    I'm restoring a Luxman L1 (thread), and I want to replace the current output transistors, which are not original. I am far from understanding all that's implied on pairing these kind of transistors, so I've made a list of potential replacements: 2SA1135/2SC2665 (Original as specified on the SM)...

    Technics SL-V5 Output issue

    Hi the AK community , i'm joining you with a really good Technics SL-V5 , in an amazing condition. But once arrived at home, after setting it ; just realised that the Right Channel Output is weak. The Left one is amazing, by the way. I tried to find the manual to follow some instructions in a...

    Marantz 2325 Left Channel Pre Has No Output

    Hi Guys, I recapped the pre-amp board (PE01) on my 2325 and am not getting any output on the left channel. I am running a sine wave from an audio generator into the AUX RCA inputs and am monitoring through the headphones and Tektronix 465. I am only getting output on the right channel in the...

    1060 - Can't get half voltage at output caps

    Hi, I have done this model more than once and don't understand the problem. It's fully recaped as usual with Nichicon / Elna. I replaced all 2SC458/1000 on the phono stage, as well as both 2SD438 on the output board (the two new ones I have in stock have a gain of 152-155 so no idea if this is...

    My Pioneer SX-780 just caught Mono

    THE INCIDENT I was listening to XM Radio over the AUX input when I heard the audio fluctuate. I thought maybe there had been a power spike (despite being plugged into a surge protector). Suddenly the right channel became very weak and garbled. Occasionally it would break back through to full...

    Harman Kardon HK 450 transistor subs

    Hi, I wondered what typical subs should be used in place of those old transistors with roten legs of the same family as the well known 2SC458 (well known for causing problems). Phono section: Q701, Q702: 2SC1775(F) Q703, Q704: 2SA872(E) Q706, Q707: 2SC1775(F) Eq sections: Q501-Q504...

    Help with chromecast and Sansui 9090

    Hello, I recently purchased a Sansui 9090 and will be streaming Spotify via Chromecast from my iPhone/Laptop. My question has to do with phone volume vs. Sansui volume knob. If my phone volume output is say, 50%, I can obviously turn up the Sansui volume knob to compensate. If my phone volume...
