I find it amusing that this forum doesn't meet your standards. It's one of the most civilised that I'm a member of. Most people are on here for their hobby/entertainment. Your repeated attempts to try and moderate people's responses are doomed to failure.
Salty Dogg,
I am not sure why you think the forum 'doesn't meet' my standards.
I too have belonged to forums that go off the rails with personal attacks (My participation has been limited here - not sure if it is common occurrence)
Vintage SS (and within the past five years Tube) audio equipment have been my passion - even since, what we now refer, to as Vintage Gear
was brand new. I have bought and refreshed much of the gear that I desired but couldn't afford as a teen. (Proton/hk/McIntosh/Marantz/Sansui)
You are right - in no way is it my place to moderate responses. That is the responsibility of the site moderators.
Please tell me you are cognizant of the posts I have issue with - Telling an owner that he/she got conned, that what they own is a p.o.s. etc.
(Those posts tend to get 'liked' by those in the bubble.)
If you feel those are helpful please explain - failure has never been an option for me.
I look forward to additional posts by those with expertise who may have a solution to the problems with this unit.
For example:
If the transformers are indeed undersized - what size transformer would produce the 'marketing rated' specs?
Would they fit in the current covers?
Would up/down stream components need to be replaced with higher values or tolerances?
Is there an easy way to correct the 'safety' issues?
