Hallo @cooper6086. Thank you for dropping by my channel. Vielen dank :D What kind of equipment do you have? :D Are there any brand that you do like? Thank you for you support and hopefully my videos will come with at higher frequency in the future. Moin :D

@@vintagehifithings Hej....😀 Well, I am not a HighEnd guy. My devices are all midclass to midclass+, I would say. My stuff in the livingroom are a Denon PMA-2000R amplifier, a Denon AU-320 step up transformer for my MC cartridges, a Micro Seiki BL-51 beltdrive turntable with SME 3009 tonearm and two diect drive turntables. A Micro Seiki DD-6 and a Kenwood KD-750. At least JBL-4430 loudspeakers. All bought used for more or less little money and refurbished by myself from 2020 on, when I restarted with analog Hifi. You see it's nothing special but it works really fine and I am very satisfied. Brands I do like are Denon, Luxman, Accuphase, Micro Seiki, Revox......somehow all brands had good stuff and sometimes not so good stuff. I like them all.....but I haven't enough space......😉 You can see that I am really focussed on turntables......... I wish you a lot of fun with your channel...........

uhh that's some nice stuff you got! Vintage HIFI is incredible in that way that you can get remarkably good sound quality for little money... I also like the Accuphase, but have never heard any amplifier I have only seen and read about them. But some day I perhaps can afford one :D Thanks the cheering of this channel. Hopefully I'll be back with some repairing/restoring videos soon ;) And I actually think I have an Micro Seiki turntable project in the basement as well 😂

Thank you @christopher3963 🙏 Yeah, and some combinations of components are like magic 🤩 And you can remember How they sounded for many years 😅 And you probably regret if you sell one of the components and can’t get that specific sound back 😅 The plan was to do some diagnosing in the future videos. I’m not an electronic expert, so my amateur skills can only take me so long on the projects, but I always start with the basics and that have turned out ok so far 😅Are there any pieces you are particularly interested in? 🤩

Yeah mee too 🙈 I once bought an Luxman with print board broken in two pieces 😅 And the previously owner said that it was just a minor defect 😂 Uhh that Kenwood looks nice 🤩👍 Definitely worth saving 🤩 Does it sound good? For my part it’s not the components that you end up buying, but the time you use to find the problems. 😅Yeah they haven’t been easy all of them but now I at least have some time for my hobby 😅 Comments like these motivates me a lot to keep going 👍🤩

@@vintagehifithings it sounded good but I replaced some transistors, firs time I have ever done anything like that and I have done something wrong as it sounds worse.

🙈 That doesn’t sound good. I once did a replacement of some transistors. The specs matched OK, so I put the new one in precisely as the old one. Only to find that the legs on the new transistor were switched. On the old transistor it was base emitter collector BEC, and on the new transistor it was BCE. Maybe that’s the case for you as well? (It’s a long shot I know 🙈)

@@vintagehifithings I think I have done something along those lines. I saw the data sheet and a video on TH-cam that showed where the ECB pinouts were on the transistors but I didn't see it marked on the board and had to go by how the old transistors were originally. I spent 6 hrs yesterday as my soldering iron wasn't getting hot enough! Had enough of it now.

@@AlexMitchell-sj4sb sounds like you’ll just have to wait until the “spirit” and joy gets you going again 😅 Hopefully soon 🙏

Thanks alot @audiononsense1611 - Are you a Luxman fan too?

There are some good videos on TH-cam on how to connect your variac… I think I followed a video from Mr. carlsons Lab. Definitely a great inspiration on electronic repairs 👍 Otherwise I’ll se if I can make a simple video explaining how I sat up mine 👍🤩

Hi Sirtainlee8725. I’m Sorry. Better latte that never 😅 I had such great plans with my Channel but then life came in the way 😅 But now i Think it is time to start over… and the good part is, that even though I didn’t make any videos I kept collecting equipment. 😅So stay tuned I will reboot this channel in December. 🤩👍

Yeah, sometimes you are lucky 😅 It sounded nice and warm but not that much power 😅And it wasn’t worth it putting a lot of energy or money into it 😫

I bought one in the seventies.....now I have five of them .....one is with an engraved front panel...be careful when reconditioning not losing the beautiful sound !

Yeah my bad!!! Seems like I need to do a proper Luxman L30 presentation video soon 👍

Yes! My bad! The next video I’ll try and make it better 👍

Hey Michael. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge and insights! That's what this channel is all about. I am to very impressed with this amplifier. unfortunately i sold it to make room for other brands and hifi equiptment... Instant regret! :D Oh well, i might be lucky and find another again some time. Thank you again for sharing :D

I think the Labs Division Had more advanced designs than accuphase did at least initially And I'm thinking of the L series Sigma Servo , external power supplies Like the LO8 , LO7 II , LO7-D

Hi Luc. Congratulation on you lovely Luxman! :D So i guess that you already found some speakers by now :D I found that you can easily pair a set of more analytical sounding speaker because of the warmth of the Luxman sound. I have pair mine with a set of System Audio 905, but i'm very curious to know what you choose? :D
