The Fez Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ha! - I'm actually listening to a Technics amp ATM. She needs about an hour to warm up the beast. But once she's nice and warm -- I can literally feel the output devices talking to me>> ​ -- Big bipolar beast == Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givita_burl Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I needed a stereo amplifier. It could have been from any number of choices but this one caught my eye. Worthwhile? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givita_burl Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Oops, wrong picture, right ballpark. The actual amp is the 607 version. I have a soft spot for the Luxman Brid LV-105 but they don't come up all that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equaliser Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wonder what most folks here do with old tired volume pots on vintage electronics? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Some repair for them because there are some old dual concentric pots of high resistance (250k+) that are unobtainable nowadays used in some amplifiers (like some of my vintage Stax amplifiers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasebass Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Most thank Steve @@The Fez for an afternoon of V-Fet amp comparison ....certainly get His "V Fet fettish" now..... Although each amp was a short but very sweet comparison I concluded there were just as many similarities as well as differences which came as a nice but real surprise....just goes to show that equipment is best tested in your own environment as I have listened to amps before with minimal differences......All the amps had a very "fruity" character with the Sony having the "Meatiest" and the Sansui "laidback" but very listenable .... We ended up having a quick listen to His big Technics which was a completely different....little "fruitfulness" here but lots of grunt...... Nice to meet Greg @@Hensa briefly..... Cheers Tase.
