In other Audiophool news I bought one of these cheap because it had an intermittent fault, Alas even when it was working it failed the CAF. (Canary acceptance Factor), and I couldn't fix it, I mean just look at it

Re: Audio [strike]fool[/strike] phile News thread
I've been refurbishing my beloved AKAI AM-A 201 amplifier.
Opened it and it was frightful inside - matted with dust.
Really, bl*nking matted.
On the cables and plastic coverings the kind of greasy, 'leggy' dust stalagmites you get on the around the vents of an oven extractor fan.![vom](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/1745142154.gif)
On the circuit boards, diodes, capacitors, fuses etc thick hoary dust like in Castle Draclia.![scared](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/3218000624.gif)
Really neglected.![sad yes](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2158945485.gif)

I wish I'd taken a picture of it, but I got all carried away with a series of small paint brushes and the vacuum cleaner (with the n*zzle on).
I've left some of the filthy evidence though so you'll get a rough idea.![yes](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/959869116.gif)

Re: Audio [strike]fool[/strike] phile News thread
These pictures really don't do any justice to how filthy and dusty it was inside.
It demonstrates better the wonderful job I've been doing.![bowtie](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/176019006.gif)

Re: Audio [strike]fool[/strike] phile News thread
The AM-A201 amp is so wonderfully, quaintly basic.
It's the first bit of hi-fi equipment I ever bought with my own money.
I was probably about 16 or 17.
£59 from Richer Sounds on Kensington High Street.
I've had for well over 30 years.
I love it.
It's also apparently quite well regarded too.

After much digging I found out the P on the 4 pin DIN output was a 5V output to signal to the power amp to turn itself on, they never used that feature on the Power amplifiers so after a while they didn't even bother connecting the output pin.

First h'amplifier I bought was Rotel 312 from the Leeds Richer Sounds, about £40 quid or so, second hand obv. I'm trying to remember the terrible tuner I bought as the same time.

Re: Audio [strike]fool[/strike] phile News thread
At the same time I also got a Sherwood turntable, cheap and cheerful, but it didn't damage my reckids and it sounded alright.

I upgraded to a Dual 505/II![happy](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2622191953.gif)

Then a Thorens 160 II with an SME 3009 II arm

which I upgraded to a Mission 744 arm, not sure that was a good idea in retrospect...

Still got that, not doing anything at the moment.
Now got a Garrard 401 with a Origin Live Enterprise arm.
Well, that was fun. I'll mentioned my speakers next, as soon as you've all woken up![happy](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2622191953.gif)

Re: Audio [strike]fool[/strike] phile News thread
My first turntable was a JVC QL-A200.
Died years ago and then - I'm ashamed to admit - when I bought my first (and still only) CD player (see above picture) I just listened to CDs.

It was involved in the single most profound and weird supernatural experience of my life.![scared](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/3218000624.gif)
