Fixed it fer ya. Please tell your SIL Awesome job!

Wow, just WOW! I'll take 2 please, PRETTY PLEASE!

Well duh, let's hope so. That's what you all bought 'em for, right? I'll wager that sticker is there cuz someone led by an attorney actually sued and won money for being an IDIOT.

Yep in the family room good enough is good enough. Aesthetics(WAF) is usually is the more important factor there.

@KROCK you got gold plated terminal blocks? Can you post a link to "from where"?

What dat? wrong bond?

@Gnote Finally got around to putting the Xilica back on the bench. With -10dBV (consumer gear) ref level unbalanced input I was able to get the input meters(in XConsole app) up to +5 dB out of a possible +21. This was with the gain of the input channels all the way up to +15. There is still another 15 db of gain in the outputs available. Curiously it looks like the front panel input meters show the input level WITHOUT the gain you add with the input gain control. But the meters in the XConsole app shows input level with gain added. Well I'm still trying to wrap my head around what the front panel meters are showing because now I have a balanced signal at +4dBu going in and the meters show "signal" but the -12 led is not even lit. But anyway it looks like you can drive this thing with unbalanced consumer gear.

Got tone controls?

That's purdy speaker wire.

No Bias? No worky. No bias adjustment- that's a horse of a different color

There is a plan, it's just not OUR plan

I'm not much of a wine drinker but I like Rioja. Its from Spain. You can get it for less than $15 a bottle at Costco.

@The Dude Thanks it is mainly for @Cantilope and his D75a. My D75 non a types have followed exactly the schematic I posted earlier in this thread. Sure makes things a lot easier. I finished the transformer replacement on the one I blew up. So now I am back to having two good modified units. I will not do full load tests for more than a couple minutes anymore

Thanks @shiva but I only need a few watts as these are going to be used to run the mid/tweeter driver on a pair of Jubes. Its just I am old school. If an amp is spec'd at 50 watts it should do it all day in my book. And on these old Crown units I thought Crown was truthful in their specs. I know on their current offerings the wattage specs are .

OMG Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now back to Catsup

You're catching on

"A Legend in Sound" was the logo 40 years ago? Just curious.

Cuz it costs too much to live there?@BigStewMan now that you're retired is a Pilgrimage in your plans?

So I got two of the five D75s up and running with all mods. And then while doing a load test on one it went poof. Got a hold of a respected tech down here in San Diego area and he basically told me I'm an idiot for thinking a 50 watt into 4 ohm per channel amp should be able to put out 50 watts per channel for more than a couple of minutes. It actually melted the insulation between the windings of the power transformer. So now I will replace the transformer with the one from the fifth unit.

Mmmmmm...venison chili mmmmmmm
