| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks for the help I did find the cap is a 100uf 100v Electolytic cap. The resistor that was touching it appears to have got hot and melted the wire. It tests 46ohms and was rated 500. (power handling is 7 w)Any recommendations on resistors??? or... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Thanks WavetraderI am going to go there. I did see a pic and there is a cap on another x101d. I think whoever put that cap in put the wrong one or a poor quality cap or maybe there is something wrong with the phono stage that is causing these caps... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Magfan the part that smoked (the capacitor) was the only new part I know of in the amp.I had used the Fisher for a few months and tons of hours but when the phono stage was hooked up it went up in smoke. I wonder if the cap was the incorrect voltage? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I did find out the cap runs from the 12Ax7 low level (phono pre-amp) tube to the output tube. All along I have thought this amp sounded very good on digital and terrible with the turntable. It blew up when using the turntable. Also does anyone kno... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I think I found the problem in the vintage amp. The one and only plastic cap the wire going in has gotton very hot. What I do not know is was it even supposed to be there?? Can anyone help with vintage Fisher schematics and more in particular fish... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Yes I did. I read too much before doing mine. My daughter and I are going through my vinyl collection this weekend to sort out the worn ones. (she loves doing that and I am not sure why) Where I had doubts and was not sure before there is no doubt... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Stormen and in the midrange?I am out looking for another vintage tube amp and repair for mine. I am going to have to run two amps. My CD player sounds poor with the SS pre and amp. But then again it always did. Hard and brittle. So anyone reading ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Halcro nice system.The gentleman I bought my LP12 from bought a Raven as well. Working well for you? What did you have before? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Have the Duelund's in VSF in midrange and the Linn Klout/Kairn hooked up. Disregard any negative about Duelund in the midrange. It sounds very, very good now. I am wondering if something wasn't going on the vintage amp before it blew up. Also I ne... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Well at least no damage to the speakers or the caps. Hooked up the SS to make sure it was not my wiring. I never seen a electrical device blow up! | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Everything running without a glitch until Duelund went into the midrange. I went back to vintage and it clearly sounded better with the CD player. Just switched to the Lp12 and then going to put back in the Duelund. I know my caps are bad (with ou... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Break inHey JudeStarting to open up (CAST) I can easily tell when they are playing the the tri-angle or when Ringo hits the crash cymbal and the tambourine is being played. You can hear the individual cymbals of the tambourine. I could hear the tr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sherod I have VSF for the mids and a set of CAST for the tweeters only. It is not that I am unhappy with the VSF in the midrange. It is likely as simple as the VSF's revealing the weak source. I suspect it is the slower vintage cap going through o... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund did say this is a quote from an e-mail"The CAST has to my ears a quite lower noise floor than the VSF, right out of the box the HF may sound a little dulled on the CAST but this dissappears completely after 7 days".I just wanted to say to ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Getting a baaaaad feeling I am going to wish I had of pushed for CAST for the midrange. |
