| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? Anyone??? Skip all the post and just read the last one | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? Okay, I re-did everything. All new caps and diodes, even swapped out that D119 that was missing originally for a 6.2V Zener and removed that mystery diode on the back of the board as suggested. After replacing everything except transistors and the... | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? What does that mean? | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? I also just found a few of these transistors (2N3904-A06) seen here: https://www.fairchildsemi.com/datasheets/2N/2N3904.pdfare these usuable able anywhere on the Power Supply PC board? | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? http://s1096.photobucket.com/user/hockey4496/library/New%20discovery%20McIntoshThere is a tiny drop of solder on C307 that happens to be right above a pin hole on the circuit board, which on the other side (back) has solder over the hole. Does thi... | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? Just discovered it was D303 that was smoking....not the capacitor. D302 looks fine...what's the deal?? | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? Thank you so much Kirkus for taking the time to explain that. Very helpful, and I'm sure people will continue to use that info for years to come when googling for help on old McIntosh meters!if it makes any difference here is some other info:-All ... | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? So far not so good, left the front end of amp sticking out of the housing about 5" so I could calibrate the meters if they worked. Unfortunately the power guard lit up right away and a white billow of smoke rolled out of one of those 2200uF....not... | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? Good eye Gs, I had that pic mislabeled, I just used the same signal diode as I did for D302, 303 (1N4004). I did however use the 16V Zener at D119, which was entirely vacant before. I'm not sure why the manual specifies 16V zeners for d304-d306, ... | |
| Using non-matching caps in McIntosh 2125 repair? Or will it destroy amp/burn down house? wow...I just typed for 20 minutes and got and error. So in an interest of time I'll simply post the photos for now and ask if anyone has any advice as to why there is a signal diode bridging the leads of a single capacitor on the back of the circu... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-LP120 or Denon DP31L? Good advice. That's exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for chiming in! | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Lol, ditch the cables that I just invested in with the little $$ I have for equipment?if I were to ditch anything it would be the record weight made from a pendulum, circular saw bit, and housing of a keg tap :) Thanks everyone for the feedback. I... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Very informative and helpful, thank you Al for taking the time to write that. I currently have it setup as you suggested, preamp-->McIntosh. The other cables are also 3’, and probably aren't all that bad, I just know the capacitance on them cou... | |
| Bent stylus or normal? ~5-10 degrees off horizontal when looking directly from the front Thanks for the input, I actually just submitted a return request on Amazon a minute ago. Unfortunately I don't have a test record, I did at least check the test tones running through my computer (to emotiva dac-->Cary preamp) and those sounded ... | |
| Bent stylus or normal? ~5-10 degrees off horizontal when looking directly from the front Just found another forum where someone posted a fantastic photo of their Shure M97xE from the front. It looks IDENTICAL to mine. Scroll down the page about 75% of the way. He overlayed blue lines on the image and calculated the degrees it was off ... |
