We've seen this before and the prices will go down again. Interest usually comes in waves so it fades away again.

Shit?

The stock 727 is a massive letdown to say the least but modded it is a rather nice amp. The mod isn't hard to do but requires some soldering skill. Also, don't blame Milos since his addiction is all my doing...

I just love it that Srajan hasn't got a clue what he's talking about and just copies what ever the manufactures tell him. Trying to compare the perceived value of those amps makes him look even more stupid. One question, when did Craig start to use the Alpha volume pots?

Happy Birthday(s)!!!

Happy Birthday Dan!!

Run them for a while, unplugging the set and shorting the pins to ground should help. It is also a good idea to increase the volume level a bit over normal levels since more voltage helps.

Happy Birthday!!!

It's always a good idea to remove the old protection systems from these phones since they don't age well. The drivers will easily last another 50 years. You can always install some back-to-back 451V zener diodes if you want protection for the drivers. As for the SR-007, just run the amp for a week playing music and the imbalance should go away. It can also happen when the weather changes as humidity is a factor here.

Happy belated birthday Steve!!!

If you have any issues finding it, just PM me.

I'm lucky that the system is very stable up here, drifting just a volt or so from 234V. If I ever were to have any issues then I know the guy in charge of the whole network... This does remind me to check the heaters on the my latest Egmont type amp. I'm guessing the 12.6V is way off spec with just two ECC83's and LED on 1.9A winding.

Way too many parts for the T2. Time to finish this rather imposing beast...

Synth Brittania. Too few programs feature schematics these days...

The only issues I've had were with uneven epoxy coatings. It's not very comforting to see the resistive element on something meant for high voltage use...

SR-007A...

With up to 15% variation in the input voltage? The reason why the EU electricity standard is wide is because of the UK system.

Have a great day Jeff!!

Yeah, read that thread...

Don't get me started on his Kimik mods though. How the hell he's going to offer precise offset and balance settings for the tubes with an unregulated PSU is beyond me...

The new pads will sound different since the distance from the ears to the drivers is a large factor. It's isn't that big of a change though... Personally I wouldn't change the pads unless they are deteriorating or simply falling off.

Yup, any Lambda pads will fit. I for one am not that great a fan of the new leather pads since they are so shallow and uncomfortable for me.

Happy Birthday!!
