The Technics SU-VX 700 is an integrated audio amplifier from the early nineties. It delivers 2x 90W into 8 Ohms and is specified with a THD of 0.007% (20Hz .. 20kHz, rated power). In my opinion it is one of the better Technics amplifiers. Whereas the sound of an amp is always subjective to a…
In order to be able to look at schematics etc. during repair and soldering sessions I recommissioned my old monitor months ago and connected it to my main PC that sits on a seperate bench. That solution kind of worked, but going back and forth between different monitors on different benches was a bit impractical.…
The HP/Agilent 6632B is a remarkable power supply. There are some similarities with the mobile communication DC source 66309D I “repaired” recently: The 6632B is optimized for a fast transient response and it has a low current range too. But the circuit and its properties differ significantly. One important aspect: Where the 66309D only has…
I recently got my hands on a HP 6060B System DC Electronic Load (later also sold as Agilent 6060B). My unit has option 020 installed: Comically large binding posts also on the front panel. This option certainly is not unheard of, but not too common either. Retrofitting is possible, but can be quite some work.…
