VFET's, Idlers and big boxes - A simple system

[Idlewithnodrive]

The crossovers have been recapped and the speakers re-wired on my MkII's, so they sound pretty good to these ears.

I can't remember tbh but do the 'Mk.II have any resistors on the X-Over board. The MK.I do not?

Oooo I'd love to have a play with that Sony amp.

Doge 6 CDP - interesting. I'd like a play with that, too!

Nice speakers.

I'd bin the tt, but that's just me.

Lovely system.

Has the Sony been checked over? It's a truly wonderful amp (5650 and 8650), but can fail spectacularly, taking speakers with it. Something to do with some dry joint diodes I understand. After forty years, a thorough check over is mandatory, as an old friend lost his and some lovely Harbeth HL5 bass units along with it that can't be repaired now.

[Idlewithnodrive]

Yep, the suicide Diodes and resistors have recently been replaced, so hopefully OK for a few more heart

Been a while since I posted a system update.

So, this is what I sit in front of now, makes very pleasant sounds, doesn't eat much and is just about as simple as it gets.





Thanks for the stands Dave; made a big difference

I thought they would, you are very welcome Mike. Lovely looking system sir

[Mika K]

Looks nice! Despite I would rather see some matching wooden stands there for the speakers instead of those modern Atacamas..

[Spectral Morn]

Very interesting system, thank you for sharing images

I'm feeling the need - for another vintage Dual

Nice system. The Sony is a peach. I had one, I know what they sound like.
