Marchand XM44 active crossover for my Innersound Eros MKII speakers. The first design Innersound bass amp/active crossover only had one knob to control bass/mids. The XM44 has seperate low and high controls for my bass amp and panel amp, with a 5dB mids boost control in the 5Hz to 2KHz range allowing me unlimited, picky bastage flexibility.Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *

They look like the output transistors, but I don't see the reasoning for having them lay flat without a surface against those huge heatsinks.

Bipolars can look like Mosfets when they are in a "can" (the metal encasing). Not all bipolars come in a "can".

I noticed that when powered on, the Marsh has these little red lights (4 pair plus two up front) on the circuit board that light up. Does anyone know what their function is?
If you take another look at the pics I posted, the lights run horizontal in the middle of the board.HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50 LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

Sometimes LED's are used in bias circuits instead of regular diodes.Maybe thats the case with this unit?Testing

The ADC B100 had 13 tubes, all 6DJ8's. I (briefly) owned one and posted a photo or two of it earlier in this thread (post #139).

My 350a developed a problem in the last few weeks; the right channel was going on and off; I could fix it by touching/moving the RCA plug; another thing I noticed was that the center (vocals) were all over the place...sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left, sometimes dead center....
So I decided to get the original RCA jacks (Thanks to Dave Belles who pointed me to the right place to get them) and changed them today; the problem was not the jack itself, but the solder on the board was broken (not sure if it can be seen in the picture..the little connections to the right; the big ones are just to fix the jack to the board).
Edit: yes, it can be seen if the picture is enlarged to the original resolution)
Anyway, the problem is fixed and thought I'd share some guts:)
The toroidal is almost 4" high and diameter is 7"....never seen such a big one_________________________________________________

It's a Fisher 400...not exact on the year but its old.
Good work HTrookie. The broken joint is easy to see in that pic and a common problem in gear. Well, common in that I've seen that as a simple fix for a bunch of gear over the years.

Picked up a vintage Sansui Eight receiver (circa '73-75) a couple days ago just for the heck of it and to have something to play with (it only cost $35).
It had some scratchy controls, which I fixed with Deoxit and cycling. Also cleaned the inside of the unit.
It's been fun to work on a vintage piece from when I was just out of diapers. Maybe my first re-cap job is next. This thing is built well and heavy (almost 40 lbs), has solid aluminum knobs and face, walnut case, and the classic 70's vibe. I've been hanging out a little in the Sansui forum over at audiokarma.org. This old Sansui stuff has quite a following.5.1 and 2.0 ch Basement Media Room: Outlaw 975/Emotiva DC-1/Rotel RB-1582 MKII/Rotel RB-1552/Audiosource Amp 3/Polk LS90, CS400i, FX500i/Outlaw X-12, LFM-1/JVD DLA-HD250/Da-Lite 100" HCCV/Sony ES BDP/Sonos Connect.
