    PS Audio 200CX - External DC Power Supply?

    I’ve recently acquired a PS Audio 200CX and the internal transformer has clearly gone out to lunch. It buzzes so loud that I can’t hear myself think, and at above 80 volts on the Variac the whole unit starts to chatter. I’ve seen a few posts on people turning to external DC power supplies to get...

    The Vandersteen Treo CTs, diminishing returns, and the end of (audio) history

    Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you look around a room and realize, “I don’t belong here and everybody knows it.”? Growing up lower-middle class in the US and being in constant economic peril until about the age of 30, I sure have. This is the story of how a pair of speakers...

    PS Audio Elite Integrated

    Hi, I'm interested in a vintage PS Audio Elite Integrated amp near me. It comes with the separate power supply and would hopefully provide more power to my old Smaller Advents then my Kenwood KR4600 - however, info on it is sparse at best. Does anyone have experience with this particular...

    Does anyone recognize this odd sound?

    I recently plugged in a vintage power amp and preamp. I got close to the right speaker I can hear the noise that you'll hear in the video that I posted the link to. It's a very quiet distortion/hiss sound. After swapping through cables switching speakers around, I figure that the culprit must be...

    PS Audio Stellar amps and "difficult" Infinitys

    Has anyone out there tried or currently using any of the PS Audio Stellar amps, specifically the class D 300 or 700 with any of the "difficult" Infinitys like Kappa 9s or RS II/a/b etc...? If you have tried them or are using them, what are your thoughts, positive or negative?

    PS Audio 200C connection question

    I just acquired a beastly PS Audio 200C amplifier without a users manual. Google searches have pointed out that these units were recalled in the 80s because of they could catch fire. My research indicates the fire hazard resulted from connecting a preamp that has DC at it’s output to the...

    Decided to replace vintage hifi with new, interesting results and questions

    Hi everyone, In the way of an intro, I'm Lawrence from Chicago, now living in Bulgaria. When I relocated to Europe, it was impractical to move my beloved Luxman receiver and (pre-mass market) Polk 10B's on stands that I bought new in the late 80's. This combo sounded very good to me and received...
