Fosstodon

Tobias KlausmannCurrent patient: Harman-Kardon PM655 Vxi.At the moment the right channel is only about 5% of the volume of the left one. Since this amp can be split (pre- vs. main amp) it was easy to find the problem is with the main amp section. Next step is to figure out what's wrong. There are several options, like a broken rail voltage supply or one of that ~15 transistors that precede the main output ones (those I've already checked).<a href="https://mas.to/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/hifirepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hifirepair</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/hifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hifi</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/RigthToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RigthToRepair</a>

FenixWith this type of amplifier with output capacitor you could still hear a switch-on pop in the speakers, but this has been remedied with a switch-on delay of 4.7 sec.

FenixUnbelievable that this amplifier with Germanium output transistors from 1969 produces such a beautiful, open and pleasant sound on my ASW Genius 300 speakers. Two times 5 Watts is more than sufficient for my listening room, of which no more than 1 Watt is used. The device is not inferior to a Harman Kardon of 2 x 45 Watts. It is pleasant to listen to, very different from the hard silicon sound. 1/2<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hifi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sound</a>

Steve YaegerSeveral years ago, my FIL made me a gift of all his <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hifi</a> equipment, since he and his wife were downsizing. The crown jewel of his setup was a Transcriptors Skeleton turntable. It needed some love, more love than I could give it, but I was lucky enough to find a local tech who has restored multiple Skeletons. He did a heck of a job. I picked it up this weekend.I lost count of how many records we listened to yesterday, well into the night. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/audiophile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audiophile</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vinyl</a>
