Need help with basic electrical stuff
@samureyex  Without a service manual or schematic for your amp, I don't know if this is normal. I think you should check with the designer and see what he says.    
Need help with basic electrical stuff
Check the DC voltage at the speaker output related to GND (e.g. XLR Pin1) I think the designer wants you to measure the DC voltage of speaker binding posts to ground. Turn on the amplifier, let it warm up about 15 minutes. Set the digital m... 
How do you know when tubes in the phono section of the integrated amp go bad..
Maybe he wants the tube there to keep the voltage constant, so as long as the filament lights up it should be fine.  
Krell FPB 700CX
@ossidian5 You're welcome! You can engage the coupling capacitors by removing the jumpers. While almost any tube preamp can be safely used with a Krell power amp without the use of the input coupling capacitors mentioned above, some vintage/bouti... 
Search a way to find a replacement for a unison research unico pre remote control
Maybe you could try the MEDION RF remote control 20017670 and use its auto-search function to see if it can control your unison Research unico. https://data2.manualslib.com/cpdf/14/66/6518/15ce36.pdf  
Krell FPB 700CX
but the answer I am looking for is what jumpers JMP1? Is needed to put capacitors in path to potentially protect against DC. Yes.  
Additional Input device / router
Checkout the Sony SB-700 input selector, it comes with 5 input and 3 tape loop.    
Accuphase A-48S
I have some free time tonight, so let’s discuss some details on how to connect the transformer to 240V. Remove all the six transformer primary winding wires from the circuit board. Use a multimeter to perform a continuity test to confirm which... 
Accuphase A-48S
@andyf  Thank you for providing the transformer spec. Sorry, I don't know the output voltage of the transformer, maybe @foolishman  has measurements. However, I remember there was a post from an old thread mentioned that the relay was a 18VDC re... 
Accuphase A-48S
just what would I install on J2, as it only has a single tab. 716-1374-01 is a soft start resistor board. Based on my previous experience, two sets of resistors are connected in parallel via J1 and J3 (100/120V setting), and two sets of resisto... 
Accuphase e260
I agree that the Accuphase electronics are of very high quality, perhaps the only criticism is the plastic casing of the remote.  
Accuphase A-48S
@andyf Convert 100V to 230/240V, in addition to replacing the standby circuit transformer on #716-0962-01, 1. You will also need to find out which wires belong to which set of primary windings using an ohmmeter. 2. Remove jumpers J1 and J3 a... 
Can I use my Nakamichi cassette deck to record on tape into a Schiit Freya plus preamp?
Connect a Sony SB-500 tape recorder switch box between the phono stage and the Freya+ preamp to add tape looping functionality.        
12v trigger question
To safely trigger the DAC, put a diode in series with each input, it will prevent backfeeding between the inputs.  
What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button?
I still do not understand why combining "strapping" the signal in the cartridge is any different than combining them in the phono-pre or combining them externally with a Y adapter. Unlike adapting a stereo cartridge for mono either through rota...
