    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    It's a noun.

    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    All good advice. Just have to see what's available when my budget says ok.

    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    I rarely push my 400s beyond 25 watts. A series II uses LEDs instead of analog meters which are unobtanium. Personal preference. No need to make up for shortcomings in other areas... :):):):p

    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    Just daydreaming for now. I'd likely go 400 series II.

    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    Guess I started late (as usual). I was thinking $250-$300 range.

    Balls to the Wall

    Took me over a year to recalibrate. Still wake up at 0300. Just don't get up anymore.

    Are the days of cheap 400/700s done.

    Was daydreaming about another project. Found asking prices have more than doubled and dead units seem to be nonexistent. What is everyone else experiencing?

    Pioneer RG-1 transistors

    Sound seems cleaner. More open. No more "pumping" and improved gain.

    Pioneer RG-1 transistors

    Figured out my problem on my RG-1 I had 6 KSC945 transistors in wrong because the pinout on the datasheet did not match the actual transistors. KSC945 datasheet pinout shows 1. Emitter, 2. Base, 3. Collector. Actual test of transistors showed 1. Emitter, 2. Collector, 3. Base which matches the...

    Transistor tester recommendations?

    Yeah, I was using the numbered slots.

    Transistor tester recommendations?

    well, I bought this tester, and it seems to work well enough. Right now, I'm a bit befuddled. I am testing a KSC1845 transistor and the tester pinout doesn't jibe with the data sheet. Tester shows 1 collector, 2 emitter, 3 base. Data sheet says 1 emitter, 2 collector, 3 base. Has anyone had this...

    Linda - Rode hard and abused

    There's a couple pieces out right now. My RG-1 is on the bench right now trying to get repaired. As well as my Audio Source EQ1 series II.

    Linda - Rode hard and abused

    Just thought ya'll might like to see where Linda and Val wound up. Linda is on the right. This month is the 2 year anniversary of the Val (left) rebuild. The center 400 didn't have a name tag so it doesn't have a name. Both girls got complete full comp White Oak rebuilds. All have Don's DCP mod...

    Preamp preference

    Given a choice between a PL 4000 series II and a carver 4000t, which would you prefer and why?

    Transistor tester recommendations?

    What would be a good tester for a hobbyist?

    Pioneer RG-1 transistors

    Yes, but if I did get them in wrong I got them wrong on both channels. I will go back and look again.
