    Replacing Speaker Screw Terminals + Phono Input Interference

    I've really been enjoying my Realistic SAF-40D tube integrated amp over the past four years, however the worst part of the amp's design, and that of most other amps of the 1960's, is that I hate the tiny speaker screw terminals on the back.

    Realistic SAF-40D Right Channel Problem

    My Realistic SAF-40D tube integrated amp was working flawlessly for the three years since I had it recapped. However, my right channel speaker cut out a few weeks ago. No sound will come out of it though both channels come in clearly through my headphones. I thought it might have been the...

    Realistic SAF-40D Integrated Amp Score

    I just scored a Realistic SAF-40D integrated tube amp for a pretty good price (by eBay standards). It's a Japanese-built unit (possibly made by Kenwood or Pioneer) utilizing four 7189's, four 12AX7's and a 5AR4 rectifier. From the auction description it powers on but desperately needs a...
