AVM MP 5.2 Transport Problem
I think some of you guys are missing the point. A new laser pickup assembly usually costs around 50 dollars. A new transport about 300 dollars. 899 Euro is to change the transport and the supporting electronics that fits their newer model. Now, is... 
AVM MP 5.2 Transport Problem
That's not an option as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to fall into the same trap twice. How can I be sure that other parts in this machine that have no replacement won’t fail in the near future?  
No replaement PCBs for Krell Evo series
You think so? I was told by two Krell technicians it couldn't be repaird or it it would cost more than I paid for it.  It does look very complicated. https://i.postimg.cc/sx2Kv9Wx/Whats-App-Image-2024-07-24-at-16-28-46-236e2224.jpg    
Krell 707 problem need help
Thanks for your response. It seems I have no choice but send it to Krell.   
ESP Speakers
Hi Guys. After a long search, I finally found and purchased an old pair of ESP Concert Grands mark 1. However, they need some repair. I wonder if anybody here knows perchance how Can I access the drivers of these speakers. The top plate seems to b... 
Jadis ja-200 vs ja500
Update: Bought old Jadis JP80 and connected it to the JA30. WOW! Right now I feel no need for a bigger Jadis amp. Amazing resolution, depth, bass, dynamics, emotion. So it seems like the problem was in the preamp, not the amps.  Thanks for all res... 
Spade vs bare wire
I had my XLO 5.1 connected to my ESP speakers directly, through wire soldering. I then for convenience sake replaced that with WBT 0702.12 on the speaker's side and direct on the amp binding posts (Luxman m900U). Result: the connection via the WBT... 
Jadis ja-200 vs ja500
Thank you, guys. Very good comments, just what I was looking for. Rcprince, the JA30 is indeed a wonderful amp. I tried it with kt88 and El 34. It sounds amazing on my quad 57 (for those looking for a good match with those), but on my ESP Bodhran,... 
Luxman M900u stereo vs Mono setup
One suggestion to increase the power/attack of the M900U that worked for me: Turn off the meters.  
ESP Speakers
An update on my adventure with ESP Bodhran SE.After measuring the impedance of the speakers, something I should have perhaps done long ago, I was surprised to see that it was 4 and not 8 ohms, as the manufacturer states on his website. I changed t... 
Step down transformers for japanese gear
I should stress that not every step-down transformer would do for hi-end applications. Transformers can impart their own sonics on the sound. The one I recommend is audio-grade, isolation(!) transformer, with low(!) radiation. I measured the radia... 
Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers.
One last note to put the record straight. it turns out the problem I had with the Jadis was just tube matching. After measuring the tubes (KT-120) and matching them properly, it now works perfectly: no problem of bloated bass or speakers matching.... 
Jadis JA-80: Tubes and speakers.
Thanks for all the responses. rhljaz, I did try another preamp, the Luxman C900u. To my ears The JA80 sounded better with the JPL. About speaker synergy, I also tried another modern speaker, the results were somewhat better but not what I was look... 
ESP Speakers
Hi Guys,First, I wanted to thank rhljazz for his help. I should have done it sooner but life took me in other directions lately. I was finally able to refurbish the ESP crossovers on my own. While at it, I changed some parts (caps, resistors) to h... 
Luxman m-900u owners - quick question
I also have M900U and C900U. Had Jadis and other hi quality tube amplifiers in the past and now switched with the Luxmans to SS. I am very happy.
