VU Meters: Let's See 'Em!!

[Sal1950]

From my MC-402, taken this evening.

Sweet !!!

I scored a pair of Denon POA 1500 amplifiers today from a guy. Both have the black front, rosewood side panels. I've removed the panels to refinish them, and will install the LEDs tomorrow. This is a picture of one of the amps, but with half the meter bulbs burned out. Both amps work, though - performance and power-wise.

Yes, thank you. I've already downloaded it. With most PDF user manuals, I have them printed for about $15.00, each. This includes, a 130 lb. paper weight, a thick clear front cover, a black rear cover, and a plastic spiral binding.

Finished the incandescent to LED upgrade on the first Denon POA 1500. On the left, you'll see the old incandescent lights. On the right, are with the new, LEDs strip lights installed for the meters and a single LED for the "Denon" logo where a single incandescent was present, but burned out.

Are there any contemporary pre-amps with VU meters ( asking for a friend, really)

McIntosh makes some. The C2700 is one example, and they have other models, too.

Not sure I would call McIntosh "contemporary". "Retro" might be more appropriate.

That is so classic. I see he's gotten with the times and upgraded his 8 track to a cassette.

The current owner doesn't know who destroyed that 1970 911S. She has a youtube chnneal (like everyone else on Earth) and is restoring the car.
