Yes; haha, still cannot figure out how to check/enter anything via the front panel - except did load network parameters OK; waiting on my "new" amp - a Yamaha M45.

Love my Yamahas, top shelf Amps compared to any If it hasn't been recapped, I would put in on the to do list Nichicon FG are excellent, everyone has their favorite, for the power supply use the high temp products Around here $300 seems to be the going rate. If running it in Class A, get a USB quiet fan to put on top, blowing down not up and nothing around the unit to inhibit air flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have religiously removed every single sticker, tag, anti-theft, etc. thing from my 2000+ movie collection, but have pretty much just been using dumbass fingernail busting techniques. I still receive 50-100 new films every month, so I am definitely going to give Bestine a try now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwjones Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I daydreamed about recreating my second* audio system - the one I put together after selling my first one since when I was in school, if I couldn't eat it, it tended to be sold. My "proposed" rules were the pieces should be as mint possible after 35 years, with original boxes and manuals, and working. This was fueled when I found my first CD player, a Mission PCM 7000 for $200. Then, I stumbled across the second piece, a CJ PV2Ar preamp. Cleaned all the connections and fired it up this afternoon. Sounds great, a bit bright with some flabby bass, but if I find my speakers, Magnepan SMGs, they worked well with the preamp's "character." The worst part is, I found a rebuilt pair on SMGs... and the power amp, a CJ MV-75. I actually still have the interconnects & speaker cables from that system. Somebody stop me! *Why not the first? It was all Phase Linear - 4000 pre, 5000 tuner and 700B amp through Bozak speakers. I worked at an audio store at the time and had unfettered access to a service department to keep them running and I feel confident if they weren't reliable in 1978, they sure ain't be reliable in 2021!

MEH Synergy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 After all the rave reviews here, I decided to see if this is my cup of tea or not. Hope I love it and it's a keeper for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I was enamored with one of the PA7's little brothers. A 40 watter that I could turn up to 4:00 on the dial without distortion or clipping, Stasis is what Nakamichi called them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
