    After Burn-in...........?

    Question; after a full recap (in my case au20k) lets say I’ve set bias and came out very close to spec. In a perfect world, it sounds fantastic. Then I do a standard(?) burn-in, Does burn-in Alter bias? To the point it requires adjustments? ?:bowdown::bowdown:I await wisdom of the AK...

    Tweeter replacement and recap: Sansui SP-30

    You folks were very helpful a while back when I needed advice on finding new tweeters for my spare speakers I moved or my living room stereo, a set of Sansui SP-30s. So I’m finally getting around to it now that I have the tweeters but I’m not sure what else I need. I’m guessing it’s: digital...

    Crossover recap: Seeking guidance on Film Caps

    When it comes to replacing film caps, the options are many, and it's easy to spend a lot of dollars, only to experiment with very slight variances in sound. I was advised to replace the film caps in a crossover of a nice pair of Canadian-made Clements "Little D" bookshelf speakers from the...

    Yamaha CR-2040 Shorted During DC/Bias/Voltage Adjustment

    Well, I'm pretty new to this and probably have no business digging into the likes of a CR-2040, but this is what I've found to pass the time and I'm enjoying every second of it. I picked this CR-2040 up for $200 knowing it was cosmetically great aside from being dirty and there was no sound out...

    JBL C40 Harkness N1200 Crossover Recapping

    Greetings: I have an early model JBL C40 Harkess with the D130A, 175DLH, and N1200 Crossover.

    Sansui AU-11000 Restoration Attempt

    Hello all, new user here, sorry if I don't get the formatting quite right. I'm currently starting on a full restoration and recap of my newly acquired Sansui AU-11000. It's had a rough life, with a previous tech who, for some unexplainable reason, cut off almost all of the easy to disconnect...

    Harman Kardon 330B “simple” recap??

    Admittedly I am a newbie as far as working on the insides of receivers go. I’m pretty skilled with a can of DeOxit but that’s about it I recently acquired a lovely HK 330B (made in Taiwan) and though it sounds great other than a bit of occasional crackling in the right speaker when I first turn...

    Snubber Cap Value?

    My Kenwood KR 8050 makes a loud 'pop' sound when shutting the unit down. The on/off switch includes this capacitor marked 103P. Would this Cap be a good replacement?

    Sansui QRX 6500 partial recap project

    Hi, I have a sansui QRX 6500 quad receiver. It still has all original parts and I do like the sound of it as it is now. Since it's a quad receiver with 2 separate amplifier sections, I feel tempted to perform a recap of the "front" amp section only and leave the "rear" section as is. This will...

    AM not working after recapping power supply

    I recapped the power supply of my MCS 3223 and it was somewhat successful, I made the hum go and it's sounding a lot better now. However, I believe that in the process I might've moved or fried something that stopped the AM signal from working. What should I look for and where should I look if I...
