    The Luxman M-4000 - An Absolute Unit!

    Hey everyone! I brought my M-4000 out from hiding to do some maintenance and cleaning. I haven't seen many HQ photos of the internals online, so I was more than happy to take some and share. These amplifiers are really something special. Everything oozes quality, from the beautiful VU meters, to...

    Will a Cooling Fan Ruin/Blow a Yamaha M-80 or M-65

    Hi, I have no reason to NOT believe an audio technician, but he told me that running a cooling fan on top of a Yamaha M-80 power amplifier could short out the transistors because of the sensitivity of the bias transistors to air currents. Is this true? I'm asking because I like the thought of...

    Not sure how this adventure into Kenwood started but just picked up a couple new to me L-07M amps today. Letting these warm up before I see how they sound.

    Which power amplifier fits the following description?

    To many listeners, JBL 120Tis probably won''t pass as "reference speakers", but they are my reference speakers nonetheless. At least they allow me to recognize the difference between amplifiers. When driven by NAD C375BEE, for example, the bass sounds very strong and punchy, but they also sound...

    Marantz 500 Restoration, Here we go...

    Hey guys, Its been a while but I'm starting a build on this guy and thought you might be interested. This unit was running when before I received it, but things are never that easy. When I powered it up there was an immediate smoke storm and it popped the 15 amp fuse. Challenge accepted.

    Vintage Pioneer fan

    Hello everyone. thought I would introduce myself. I have been a Pioneer fan boy for many years. Purchased an SX-3700 based system back in 1980 (still works great). Always wanted to move up the food chain but could never justify the money. A friend gave me an SX-535 had to eventually replace a...

    Denon receiver powers off and on randomly

    I have a Denon DRA-325R receiver (from the late 80s or early 90s) which I have used off and on for many years, and which is currently hooked up to our Blu-ray player for better sound during movies and shows. It still works fine, except that it will sometimes "reset" itself, powering off and then...
