amplifier

Bought from this parish to tide me over while I was dithering about getting my NAP 160 serviced, which I finally did (thanks JJ) this Xmas, so the 870 is now surplus to requirements. It's a powerful beast and did a sterling job while I had it plumbed in. Slight transformer hum, but only up close...

If anyone has experience with selling valve era gear to China, could they please private message me? I'm in the middle of something "complicated" and would very much appreciate advice from someone more knowledgeable.

After an audition of a Roksan Blak Integrated amplifier, I am interested in making a short list of a potential replacement for the K3 integrated that I am currently using. The K3 is great, but I have heard more when trying the Blak amp. Heft of the bass, bass definition, massive soundstage and...

I've retrieved my old Armstrong PCU25/A20 pre/power amplifier pair from the attic, where they've been since 1996 (and the purchase of the big Sugden). They were my only amplifier between 1984 and 1996 (they were bought for fun from a antique(junk) shop, but turned out to be nicer than my Rotel...

Hi All, I have just received a delivery of 2nd hand, and according to sticker, made in 2014 (:D) Crown DSi 2000. I plugged it in (only AC) and powered it on to see that input meters are fluctuating into 2nd light region (1st is labelled as ready so the 2nd is first of input signal being...

Hi, all. Interested in a Naim NAP 300 power amplifier. Given my tastes thus far, I think I would prefer a non-DR as I expect it will have a slightly warmer/darker presentation. Anyone looking to move one of these on? I realise many of them will have been DR'd already but maybe not all...

Lovely condition Audiolab 6000a for sale due to upgrade. The remote is a bit tired but works fine apart from cycling through sources where up is temperamental and down is fine! Because of this, I’m asking just £350.00 collected from South Manchester or can meet/post subject to agreement on costs.

Hi All - Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for all the great hifi wisdom on this forum from over the years! I picked up this amplifier today. I can't see anything about the brand online and don't really know what this is. Does anybody have any information about it perhaps? Thanks...

For sale is my Naim NAP 250-2 power amplifier. Second owner, and never a problem. Produced in 2015. Includes all original accessories - box with matching serial number, manual, mains cable, 2 speaker plugs, and XLR to DIN cable. It is warm and powerful. Am running a DR now and still not...

Anyone compared the performance of these two or may be aware of the outgoing version and have heard the Mk5. I’m wondering if there’s any change in the sound signature of the Mk5 and what that may be. I’ve heard the Elex R and Mk4 in my system, they were both different to my ears and rather...

Hello PFM, My friend has a pair of speakers in his bedroom that his parents left there, that have been unused for 30 years or so. They looked pretty nifty with the chrome caps, and we are curious to hear what they sound like. We asked his parents and it doesn't seem like there's any amplifiers...

Hi guys, I have recently acquired a Marantz PM75 Integrated amplifier that requires a voltage of 110v @50Hz or 120v @60Hz and being in the UK I have got a step down voltage transformer for it but I used my multi-meter to read the voltage coming out of the transformer and it was 127v AC. As this...

morning all I have a couple of different conversations going on this, and another forum, and Quad amps keep being suggested for my intended purpose (old Celestion speakers). Rather than clog up the other thread, hope no-one minds me starting this one which has a slightly different emphasis...

The Washing Machine is causing my Amplifier to hum and buzz loudly. Is there a way to rectify this? I only have one ring main for my sockets. Could there be a leakage of current to the Ground or is it causing distortion of my waveform? Can I filter out the noise by plugging a filter before the...

I’m based in Hastings and have picked up a vintage amplifier, a Yamaha Ca-1010 from the 70s. It clearly needs a service and small repair to one of the knobs and so I’m wondering if anyone can recommend an individual or company that can provide an authentic and quality service for this sort of...
