The whole system is very well-matched, together with the 301, must sound superb! :)

I have also had happy experiences with Daan at Radio Spares & TV, I seem to recall he used to be on the first floor of some or other build in Jo'burg. This was during the late 60s when I still lived in JHB. I loved his shop! Another good pal at the time was Norman Teubes of Hi-Fi Exchange in...

I have lugs on all my batteries, then I simply plug the charger in and remove when necessary. My BX2s are all connected permanently to the vehicle batteries, never yet had a problem. -F_D

Give @fredeb a ping, he might be able to assist you. -F_D

We actually sell the Benton Chargers, send me a PM with your email addie and I'll send you our price list. The best sellers are the BX-1 (12v3.4A) and BX2 (12v 7A) models. I use these on my boats as well, batteries average 7-8 years life. For anti-sulphation purposes, the BX-2 is the better bet...

Rather make use of a maintenance charger, much better option! My C-Class stood for about a year with a MC on it, absolutely no problems and started at first swing. -F_D

As above, but be careful with a strong blast of air. Try a vacuum cleaner on reverse rather. -F_D

Only instant coffee worth mentioning is Antigua Brazil or even their Continental, all other coffees including Jacobs & Douw Egberts are pretty tasteless to me as well. As an ankle-biter, we used to purchase Trekker - the Lekker Coffee - this was percolated on a coffee pot fitted with a linen...

My system comprises a Victron 10kW Inverter, 20 x 455w JA Solar Panels and 8 x Pylontech 5kW batteries, so 40kW battery power. The Victron can accept a second AC input source and I do have a gennie available. But I have never bothered with it, my system is 100% for 99% of the time. If we...

They appear to be based on Mullard 5-20 amplifiers? -F_D

Service Manual: Yamaha RX-V675 -F_D

Congrats Des, looks great! Hope you enjoy many happy kms with it. -F_D

Seems weird, they surely have the same problem in other Countries? -F_D

Good shot, this is always a bit tricky. Any idea why the previous replacements blew? -F_D

So why is Qobuz refusing the service here in SA? -F_D

It uses an AC128 germanium transistor, much older than the 80s. Probably from the 60s. -F_D

It's a wire-wound one, maybe Mantech, Communica or RS? -F_D

I second this, my Souris transformers still look the business after 40 years! I have five of these amps now. In the pic below, the grey hammertone transformer is the original 40+ year-old one from Souris. I revamped the original amps about 20 tears ago with a change of colour, PS also supplied...

I don't see a problem, perhaps even an improvement on the original choice. -F_D

Guys, if there is anybody from Pretoria who can purchase this remote for me, I will arrange TCG collection from you and naturally reimburse costs. They do not readily answer telephone calls, their website says it is in stock but I have not yet fond a promising Google review on their company. The...
