A picture of both the pre-amplifier and the phono-amplifier which it is powering. The preamplifier is a transformer coupled Telefunken AD101, as well on the input as the output, capable in receiving low-impedan Read more...
Solved the heat excess under the hood..
This was done by replacing the bridge rectifier for the AD101 to an aluminum heat sink on top of the transformers. Temperature within the chassis has dropped considerabl Read more...
Long time ago I read about an interesting diagram of a regulated power supply in the Radio Amateurs Handbook (1965). Capable of delivering 160mA at 300Volts, this could power both my riaa-correction pre-pre and Read more...
I was always curious about performance of a higher priced cartridge in my system. Not many distribitors or retail handlers allow this as a cartridge is easily damaged and once it is used, it obviously c Read more...
A nice comparison between mesh- and solidplate, directly- and indirectly heated rectifiers.
From left to right: RGN4004, UU5, unknown (British?) and 2B-400.
So, the unknown (probably British made) is th
