| Where to go next with the turntable I bought the P3 and added an RB300 to it and it’s still a cheap particle wood/pressboard plinth with Formica-like skin and a non adjustable VTA -(unless you buy some third party shims). Depending on what non-Rega cartridge you want to pair with it... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip Sorry was away for a few days.. than you everyone who took part in this discussion | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip First off, thank you everyone for your input -it certainly has given me some insight. I’m going to have to broaden some of my expectations about DAC’s, especially after the comment from freediver about pairing a tube amp with an AKM based DAC and ... | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip Wow, I’ve got the AKM Topping paired with a Marantz Model 8. I wonder if I’d get something better out of a DAC with an ESS chip for my own setup… | |
| Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip She has a pretty wide range of tastes with music. Pretty much easier to say what she’s not into.. (country/western and classical) | |

| Harman kardon a300 rebuild Already replaced the diodes with UF4007’s. that whole area I replaced.. the underside of the chassis was black with burn marks… everything is as it should be now (or will be soon). thanks everyone so much for your responses -I really appreciate... | |

| Harman kardon a300 rebuild It’s C23 on the schematic. On the schematic it’s rated as 100uF @200v but the can is rated (as per the piece of paper between the metal and the cardboard covering) 60-100uF @ 350 volts. Everything on the unit looks original although I suppose the ... | |
| Harman kardon a300 rebuild Yes, thanks for the response. I’ve never seen a power cap with a range specification (I’m sure there are those out there who’ve seen this before). I don’t really understand the ‘hot can’ part of the equation and any time I’ve replaced caps I’ve al... | |
