| Looking for an Amp Replacement " The biggest issue with this amp (and all other 30 year old high power amps) are the Rifa 4700pF EMF suppression capacitors -- which fail short when they age creating a fire hazard. Those are more critical to replace than power filter caps." And ... | |
| 80s Levinson Gear - Best Repair/Refurbish? Better buy a ML-3 the predecessor which wasn’t cramped into a too tiny chassis. They just found out about CAD/CAM designing in 1986 at Madrigal and experimented with it to put all the stuf from a huge ML-3 chassis into the No.23. A ML-3 is easy to... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? Krell KRS-200.When biased as intended you will be looking at approx. 400 Watts Class A before it reverts to Class AB. | |
| Krell KRS-100 caprevision Well you can only be sure if you measure them especially the ESR.Actually mine were all 0,00 when I measured them individually.The KSA-250 I think you're referring to, is even a few years younger as my KRS-100's (1989) and changing the 6 large can... | |
| Krell KRS-100 caprevision I would like to do it myself.Just bought 50 Vishay 138AML Series axial (470uF, 100V 105 *c).All radials have been done.Big blue Spragues (40,000 uF, 90V and 95 *C) always measure good. Just measured 8 of them in a pair of KMA-100 Mk2's and their c... | |
| Krell KRS-100 caprevision Strange thing is though - I didn't want to mention it to not influence any responses - that all the Sprague's CDE's and Mallory's I swapped before from Thresholds, Levinson's and Conrad Johnson's measure great on capacity and ESR and I have at lea... | |
| Wadia 2000 Digital Decoder manual Got that result also after I had Googled but that's the Wadia 270 player.In almost every manual or brochure for that matter the first product of Wadia Inc. the Wadia 2000 is mentioned and that triggers Google to list it as a query result. I've ext... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade I have a pair of Model 7's also and I'm interested in the pictures you've made illustrating Jeff's upgrade.Greetings | |
| Krell preamp KRS balanced user manual ??? KRS-1A manual is sufficient.I had the KRS-2 preamp which already had the largest capacitance I ever saw in a pre-amp (apart from the Dynaudio Arbiter which had capacitors the size of beer cans and 8 of them) saw the KRS-1 Balanced is even more ove... | |
| Onkyo m510 grand integra Extremesounds100: "Funny, but I always see them selling for about 1/2 (half) of the original list price, and often taking weeks to sell. This would "Never" happen with a Grand Integra. Food for thought. Peace out."My pair of Levinson ML-2's sell f... | |
| The 1970's Infinity QLS 1...How would it compare? Friend of mine drives them properly with a Levinson ML-3 | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Levinson ML-2,Levinson no. 20.6Sumo NineThreshold SA/1 | |
| Adromada III or sumo nine Just acquired a Sumo The Nine Plus (Revision C).Wonderful sounding little gem highly recommended.Sounds almost as good as the Levinson ML-2's I once had, delicate and detailed.Do not try to service/upgrade it your self because it needs more skill ... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Mark Levinson ML-2This is the archetype of all US made highend amps.Had them recently in my setup with Acoustats 2 + 2 and they were still sounding wonderful to me.Credits to John Curl & the late Thomas Colangelo | |
| Krell KRC preamp powersupply Thanks Mike,I substituted all radial caps in the mainunit and powersupply as a precaution.The ones under the controlboard were brown from the heat and they smelled like fish.It was a days work but I turned the bias somewhat down so it gets not so ... |
