    Default Sony TA5650 Vfet & ST3950 tuner

    What a lovely sounding amp , as some have said “ valve like “ .
    The tuner ain’t no slouch either BUT it has the screw on type coax connector ( like a satellite box ) , the ones I have don’t fit correctly as I think the threads are slightly different.
    Can anyone advise please?
    The manual says coaxial F connector which is what I’m using ( I think )

    It’s the F type Grant but I’ve tried 2 and they’re lose and don’t tighten up .
    It’s not threaded or damaged in anyway

    Thanks mate. If the Sony had the Yamaha’s looks it would be the perfect amp ( or the Yammie had the sound of the Sony )

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I like the look of the Sonys as much as I do the Yammies. They may be quite different but both look proper in their own way.
