Earlier last year... round about the end of winter... I picked up a Musical Fidelity P180A 10th anniversary integrated amplifier.
I have made some videos about me going about its "restoration". Here is a link to the 3rd installment: https://youtu.be/iPfzk4pMe-E
By no means do I consider...
Thanks. I am not sure, yet... but it would be a great bonus if it can. This is a 1998 model. It came with an Epson LX400 dot matrix printer and thus I can print any resulting data in 1980s style.
Recently I have been offered the opportunity to buy an Audio Precision analyser. Without too much contemplation I jumped on it.
Since it has arrived it quickly became an indispensable tool on my bench. Initially I was scared it might become a novel toy.
My initial experience with Audio...
A pre-amplifier can never be passive and a simple attenuator can never be active... thus these "passive pre amplifiers" everyone loves to refer to is a simple attenuator. Most amplifiers function with an attenuator preceding the actual amplifier circuit (with fixed gain).
Richard Mitchell passed yesterday. He was one of the country's most celebrated and respected sound engineers. Rest in peace.

I with both and a solar geyser is wonderful but when it's overcast you are going to have cold water. Gas geysers are wonderful and efficient but need to be properly installed with zero drafts around it otherwise its useless.
I have been a YT Music subscriber for almost years now and have not been disappointed once. Playing it both on my Samsung phone, USB Hifi DAC and Android TV box...
From experience... if you up the values of those capacitors in the valve QUAD gear, very low frequencies can knock the tubes out of bias. Stick to the values.
