Sorry for the delay all, and there might be better places for this in the forum, but here are some pics...
Living room system - A-500X (unmolested), CT-17 (PS Recapped), Random Denon CD player, Computer with Tidal and Dragonfly Black, Pioneer PS-X55 with decent old ADC cart, Bose 10.2.
The speakers actually sound half decent - it's a tricky room...
Bedroom system MXR-130 to Bluetooth, Parts Express Matrix Tritrix which sound way better than they have a right to, but kinda suck in this positioning. Keeping my eyes peeled for some Ohm Walsh 2s. Don't come around in these parts much...
Office system where I do most of my listening...
Left to right - Heresey 1 (Recapped), Epic CF-2 (cross-braced) Pioneer PL-7 with Ortofon low end cart, TX-2, M500-t (recapped, 5 way plugs, meter repaired by @Nahash5150, Blue LED), C-1 (Billd, Arduino remote volume), TFM 25 (recapped, blue LED), Media PC with Tidal, Pro-Ject Prebox S2 Digital
Here's a peek at the remote volume:
Seriously half-assed or steampunk? Who cares. Don't judge me. I have remote volume control. The joystick is for controlling the volume locally.
Can send the Arduino sketch (code) if you want - PM me.
Also have an M1.0t that I bought recapped and a C-1 I repaired and Billd'd. The C-1 "repair" was done with deoxit. Amazing how many ebay busted devices are "fixed" with that stuff. Seriously...
Basically, nothing interesting happened with any of the recaps. One time on the TFM I forgot to discharge the big caps - luckily it was all "sound and fury. Signifying nothing". Lesson learned. Another lesson - check the bridge mono switch. First serious listen it sounded odd so I spent a bunch of time checking my work only to realize I'd bumped the switch in the back to mono. Anyone else ever do that? Oh, and there was the busted Zener on the M500t here:
So far this has been the only value I can add and folks here have been awesome with questions I've had.
I'll have some cool stuff coming later this weekend on my trials and tribulations working through MXR-130s. Look for a tale of 3 MXR-130s coming soon...
