your advice please .........

Thanks for that Will,

The speaker units is an interesting idea.
Do you think it would be alright to perhaps just do the Bass end first i.e. 4 units ? Would this completely unbalance them.
How about the existing crossovers; the fact you haven't mentioned it I guess they don't need any attention.

Sounds like a good plan, I replaced the top on each, and then got carried away and did the rest as I liked the improvement, they are just a slot in as far as I am aware

Hi Tony,

I've got some 753s, and an SB3 too...along with a couple of SB receivers

I recently added some maplins linear power supplies to my receivers to great effect (9V for £13) a big improvement, but I can't find any at 5V to match the SB3 (or Touch for that matter)...if anyone knows of a reasonably cheap option out there please give me a shout.

I've also replaced my 753 drivers with these to great effect...

...they really tighten up the bass, much more 'punchy', originally I put them in to replace a blown driver, and was so impressed I did all 8. I've seen them cheaper elsewhere.

Try this one. I've used it on my Touch (5v), Caiman (15v) and Duet (9v).

Hi Bernard

Thanks for the info. You can really notice a dfifference ? So many contradictory
comments; I'm confused.

I have one of those, unfortunately it's a switched mode PS, it's probably better than most stock ones, but it's not as good with my SB receiver (9v) as this one...http://www.maplin.co.uk/ac-dc-multi-...r-supply-32754 only £19 as opposed to £34

Unfortunately it doesn't do 5v, or 15v, although I would have thought with a bit of messing it should be capable of 5V, as it does most voltages up to 12V

We've got a bit of a duplicate going on, I'm moving over here re the power supply

Hi Tony,

I'm currently using mine to run my Touch and I'm very happy with the sound. Maybe I should switch back to the standard wallwort and see if I notice any difference.

Will,

I might get one and try it on my Duet in the bedroom.

Will,

I might get one and try it on my Duet in the bedroom.

It's excellent with both of my receivers (or duet if you prefer), on one I use the digital out, the other the analogue, both have been significantly improved, better detail/separation etc.

If you get one please post back the configuration, there seems to be 3 different models under the same product code...check the other thread

[Canetoad]

Will do.

It’s impossible to say if those are the original caps. All mine were LCR RED 47uf 63Vdc plain neg and they look slightly longer than those in the pic and were grey rather than blue. Depending on availibility I imagine Quantum fitted whatever they could get at the price and values at the time.
It is quite easy to lift the board holding the PSU caps if you carefully clip the cable ties around the caps and gently ease the board upwards.
From the pic I would say that is a slightly later model than those I’ve had.
If you know the caps to be older than 10 years its worth replacing them, especially if the units have been laid up for a while.

Hi Guys

Thanks for all your input.

John
Any chance of pointing me in the right direction for some worthy replacements

Tony
