kmill99 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I currently have a Sansui G9000db hooked up to my 78 Cornwall's and man can it rock! Makes your heart skip a beat, but low level listening is just as amazing. I found my Pioneer SX-1980 and it will arrive in a few days. As the SX-1980 is such a beast at 270w, how careful do I need to be when playing through the Corns? I dont want to damage them, but I also want to give this setup a great "rockin" every once in awhile. Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 google around for discussions about DC and DC offset. Basically aged SS equipment has a tendency to leak DC into the audio pathways. While a cornwall woofer can handle a 100+ watts. it can't handle much at DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage ss is great, but anything over 20+ years old really needs to be TLC'd with a technician to make sure it does the magic when you turn it on.

kmill99 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks. It's my understanding that the SX-1980 has been fully restored and tested incredibly well. I am supposed to get the paperwork with the unit. From what I have been told, the "restoration" shop was very impressed on the outcome. I would like to run all the repairs/results with you guys once the unit is recived if you dont mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caps went bad in my ADCOM GFA-565 300 Watt RMS Mono Block amplifier and I fried both a K-33E and an Electro Voice EV15W-K woofers in a LaScala. My Nakamichi PA-7 amplifiers 200 watts RMS X 2 channels, have a seperate circuit that monitors the amplifier for DC output, and automatically shuts the Amp off if it is putting out DC voltage.
