Performance: Additional Details Provided in Photo #2.
- The Unit works perfectly. Have received partial recap of electrolytic capacitors (power supply and main board), some smaller caps on preamp ton controls. Audio grade Nichicon or Panasonic were used in audio signal path. All other caps were also Nichicon or Panasonic. Some WIMA film caps used to replace smaller caps. Unit was tested and set up to perform within the original specs.
- Please review the video I have provided. In the video I explain a very minor issue with the Monitor switch. It is very rare, but occasionally does need a little wiggle once set in to Monitor Tape1/Tape2, but again very rarely and a slight touch corrects the issue. The switch works fine, but it had an issue that was repaired. If the issue was a problem I would have replaced the switch, jsut want to give a heads up if you hear a little distortion from the left channel, wiggle the Monitor switch.
- Package A Power Amp?? Although the amp section in this unit does a great job at 45wpc (easily) drives my speakers with great bass and crisp highs. But as a bonus, This unit does have preamp in/out terminals and given the preamp section does sound sweet on this unit, it is a great rig to hook up to a power amp if your wanting to drive some giant speakers. I run my 205wpc Soundcraftsmen with this to push some of my Cerwin Vegas. All the great sound is there when using a bigger amp, just have more power to play with. I have a great deal on the Soundcraftsment if you want a package deal send me a message. You will be glad you did. The Soundcraftsmen is 2ohm stable meaning you can run two pairs of Cerwin Vega 15's that are 4ohm which ran together make a 2ohm load (do not do this without a power amp) At 2Ohm the Soundcraftsmen in over 400wpc.
Cosmetics:
- The Units face is very clean, free from heavy marks, dings, etc, however some of the letter/numbering around the volume control is worn off. Please see pictured.
- There is a minor dent on the back panel, lower corner near power cord. It left a slight bend in the panel and chipped the black paint. It is minor and out of sight, but it is something to note.
- The speaker fuse cover on the back was missing so I had to make one. It works great, but look at the pictures of the back panel to see the dent and fabricated fuse cover. The fuses are for the speakers terminal not the 120AC power supply.
- The review all photos, the demo video below and send any questions before making purchase.
