Mitsubishi DA-x15 serie separates

[Freekill]

Hi everyone, I just thought I would share some pictures of my newly acquired Mitsubishi DA-x15 serie separates :

Last one, with the specs written on the power amp : (link only because it's bigger)

System description :

Preamp : Mitsubishi DA-P15
Power amp : Mitsubishi DA-A15DC
Power level meter : Mitsubishi DA-M15 (can be screwed in front of the power amp, as shown, or placed in a rack separately)
Tuner : Mitsubishi DA-F15

Impressions so far are positive on the sound amplification. :tresbon:

One of the VU meters on the DA-M15 is "lazy", and sometimes it stops moving. It can be forced to move briefly with a short "burst" of volume, but I have to power cycle the unit a few time to get it back functioning normally (bad solder point ? dying cap ?)

The previous owner replaced the lamps with some flat blue leds. I'm not sure I like them, so maybe I'll try to restore the original lamps if I can get some info and schematics. (the sockets were completely removed)

The DA-F15 tuner has not impressed me so far. I actually enjoy the sound of my Sansui TU-217 more, it has more punch and life. Furthermore it needs to be recalibrated.

Any questions ?

This is a very nice rig you have here. I have not seen these units before and do not recognize the model numbers. Are they Europe only models?

You know where there are more like these for sale?

This is not a great picture but here are a few of my Mitsubishi units

That is some seriously cool looking gear ! Only the blue I do not like, it seems a bit out of place somehow.

Cool looking gear, especially the power amp! Mitsubishi is/ was definitely overlooked - but many seem to say that gear was some of the best to come out of Japan.
