| Small but high quality integrated Luxman L-505u/Luxman L-507u/Luxman L-509u were all made in Japan with Japanese produced parts. The new Luxman L-505uX it says made in Japan but looking inside the new Luxman 505uX there are many China made parts.CEC AMP 3800 CLASS A (70WPC) Very n... | |
| Replacement for KSA-50 Yes you will hear a huge improvement in sound. Also using a higher voltage capacitor the cap will run cooler. | |
| Replacement for KSA-50 The Krell KSA-50 is a great amp also runs hot. It is a good ides to replace the four original 40000uF/75V filter capacitos with 47000uF/100V caps. I recommend either Nichicon 47000uF/100V or Epcos 47000uF/100V caps. Nichicon is made in Japan. Epco... | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? Hi,Dave_72I purchased my First Luxman L-505U in 12/2006 from Audio Cubes. There was no USA distributor at that time. I wanted to buy Accuphase but the price was even higher. I sold that unit on Audiogon. I was so impressed with Luxman i purchased ... | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? Accuphase and Luxman also McIntosh are worlds top amps because parts are custom made in Japan to last for ever.I am sure a person in Japan buys a McIntosh from USA they will call it Grey market buyer because price is lot lower in USA. Dave _72 I p... | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? David12Since you are located in Europe 230V/50Hz operation using a step down transformer will not be a problem because Japan uses both 50Hz and 60Hz at 100 Volts. Japan is the only country that uses 100V 60Hz/50Hz. All transformers are designed fo... | |
| Need to know Power supply caps for Aragon 4004 II Mepco/Philips was purchased by Cornell Dubilier. Cornell Dubilier can make 3186DE193U075BPA1 caps minimum order 20 caps using Cornell Dubilier high end process. Diameter 1.75 inches(44.5mm) and 4.1 inches long. Only Cornell Dubilier makes 1.75 dia... | |
| Capacitor 68000uf/100V Replabement for Krell Ksa Also it is very important when you replace high value filter capacitors with name brands like CDE/Nichicon or Kendeil these caps have very low esr and high ripple current. Also on my last post the resistors that i recommended 10 Ohms with Nichrome... | |
| Capacitor 68000uf/100V Replabement for Krell Ksa Is the original value for Krell Ksa-150 is 68000uF/100V?The Original value was 40000uF/100V. Since the capacitance is much higher you need to replace the surge resistors with higher rating. I recommend using three 10 Ohm resistors with Nichrome wi... | |
| Capacitor Size The smaller value Electrolytic capacitors like 10KuF to 25kuF are smaller than caps from 20 to 30 years ago. The big 50000uF/125V,76000uF/100V,51000uF/160V caps cannot be made smaller than 3 inches in diameter and 5.9 inches long.Even in the 1980s... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? AbruceI recommend not using Levinson 332 any more. The reason if the caps explode it will take out the three surge resistors on the VSMB board. Then you have to replace many other parts including surge resistors and many small caps 68uF/63V and .0... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? AbruceTo replace all 8 Caps it will cost about $700.The original Philips filer caps can be replaced with USA made Cornell Dubilier with higher capacitance with 125V surge. Also the original Philips 1900uF/150V small regulator caps can be replaced ... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Abruce- Your Levinson 332 filter caps are going bad. Either one of the 50000uF/100V Philips Filter cap or 1900uF/150V Regulator caps need to be replaced. You need to replace all 8 caps in filter supply so the amp will never have any problems. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Levinson 331/332/333/335/336 and 33H used Philips Capacitors these caps were made in China. They are junk.Two years ago i purchased a Levinson 331 with humming from left channel for $1100 including shipping on Ebay. I replaced all 8 filter caps wi... | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase HgeifmanBefore you make a decision you might want to audition the Luxman L-509U or Luxman L-507U with your speakers.The Luxman units sells lot more in Japan than Accupahse.I use to own a Luxman L-507U. I have audition Luxman L-509U Also Accuphase ... |
