tubularbells Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I noticed you said amps (as in plural). Not insinuating anything are we seeing as it seems i've gone beyond my lowly technician status to the more god like engineer in trying to fix some issues with the Benchies even if i have now truthfully owned them longer than you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jakeyb77 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Too much output from the left channel. Back to the Fozgometer. With all the added discs for weight the Wand is difficult to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the tonearm wire isn't being restricted, the arm should self level on shaft. Very strange ! Put a blob of blutack on, that'll fix anything.

Just got frustrated and stopped for today. it’s not a huge amount more on the left. Maybe the cantilever is off. I’ll try another cart tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jakeyb77 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Well it’s in an singing beautifully. Holton inspired 300w amp built by our own @mwhouston. Huge thanks to Mark who has built this beast I have named Zeus! 1Kva transformer and 80,000uf capacitance. It is really pushing the 4435 to a limit I haven’t heard before.

It will improve over the next 20 to 50hours. Your rig looks well throughout and neat. Edited May 2, 2020 by mwhouston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jakeyb77 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 This amp is astounding. The power over the 4435 is phenomenal. But from the lowest level to the ear piercing it is controlled and precise. No harshness, just even music across the whole bandwidth. Haven’t spent much time with the Bel Canto yet so setting that up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said many times about the Holton modules is transparency and bass depth and control. Can’t wait to hear you big JBLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jakeyb77 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Found some slot tweeters locally. Bit of restoration required but it’s coming along. I’ll try them on top of the 4435 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
