In my Naim Nait article, I noted that the Mission Cyrus One is perhaps its closest contender from the time. Let’s take a look at the Mission Cyrus One as I repair and service this example. I’m going to try to keep articles coming, even the smaller ones like this one. Stay tuned as there […]
In my second #Krellmonth article, I look at the repair and restoration of this lovely Krell KAV-300cd compact disc player. Thanks for joining me for my second #Krellmonth article. The Krell KAV-300cd CD player is a beautiful machine from the late ’90s, a period when Redbook CD was reaching maturity and producing some really lovely

Utilising the venerable Sony KSS-151A laser mech and a custom, heavy-duty direct-drive CD motor and chassis, the VRDS-10
In this article, I look at a locally sold, bodged Accuphase P-300 power amplifier and how I got her running properly again. The Accuphase P-300 power amplifier is one of the most beautiful solid-state power amplifiers from the 1970s and one of the nicest sounding. This one came to me with some serious issues and
Check out this classic Fatman iTube 252 integrated tube amplifier I repaired and serviced in another article to help with COVID-19 boredom. Silly name aside, the Fatman iTube 252 is a decent, compact 25 Watt per channel tube-based integrated amplifier. The iTube 252 uses 4 x EL34 pentode output tubes and four dual-triode tubes. Perhaps
