See if he will stick a couple of high quality FINEMET® Nanocrystalline core step up transformers in there for you … since he will have the hood up anyway
Best phono stage?

reg the Io; sell it as fast as it is back up again....for a period I had two units...one at repair and one working...
Yes, yes, you do need a quick response technician, especially if you are in such a situation

Last time mine blew up it sounded like a gun shot, scared the shit out of me !Yes, yes, you do need a quick response technician, especially if you are in such a situation

same happened with one of mine....a ss regulator split with a pistol shot soundLast time mine blew up it sounded like a gun shot, scared the shit out of me !
Same here, gun shot sound! Fortunately, I had just turned it on to warmup, and the pre and power amps were not on yet. Apparently, one of those electrolytic caps in the amplification chassis blew
At least when a cap or resistor blows and you’ve let the smoke out of the circuit, it’s not so hard to troubleshoot. Still, I hate smoke leaks.Same here, gun shot sound!

Some stuff is more prone to failure because the design pushes the envelope. My Krell KSA 150s were like that. They sounded lovely, but a trip back to Orange was inevitable every few years.
Power capacity, voltage rating, aging out, manufacturing or material defect, operator error, power surge …

what I meant to say, is that it might be smart to find out why a components blows
it might be triggered by an underlying fault
shitty if you replace just one component and the bloody thing blows up again
with the Io you must absolutely have a big variac available

I can imagine you high and saying "Wow man, what realistic dynamics"
Wow you have a beautiful store with some of my favorite brands. I was in Stockholm in 2022, beautiful city.
I am looking for something dynamic and fast. Even though I have tubes on my DAC the setup made it sound, transparen, fast, dynamic and I am looking for something similar but with the magic of vinyl. Based on that which one do you recommend more the phasemation EA 1200 or the Allnic H 7000v?
I will check Ypsillon but the VPS 1000 does it needs the MC set up transformer?
id love to talk to you over the phone. I even willing to import if you can sell me and we find something interesting
thanks
Same with my Kps25 sc and Fpb, the constant heat will eventually kill Krell !
Never high Ked, a little drunk occasionall, but never when listening to music ! Music is my drug of choice
and my NAGRA VPA !Same with my Kps25 sc and Fpb, the constant heat will eventually kill Krell !
if you are new to analog buy one at a good price that you can resale and try other phonos. Allnic 7000 is always good value just make sure when you buy used it is not humming. 3000 is much cheaper
