SONY STR-6055 + Marantz CD player (dac TDA1541A philips) - Of Wolf and Man
Best dac ever? philips TDA1541A... closest thing to analog sound ever? listen. New vintage hifi receiver, still cleaning and restoring, no recap yet, doing the inventory of components to start working on re cap. This special SONY is one of the top 3 best receivers they made to defeat McIntosh into USA, this way Japan won the war of hifi on USA. They made their own output/power transistors in a way that sound pretty similar to the tube sound of the era on McIntosh, Fisher and Scott USA amps. They achieve, this sounds AMAZING. NOTE: DC Offset and BIAS have been adjusted, now it works absolutely cold and without crossover distortion, the difference is very audible when you're in the sweet spot in front of the speakers. So if you have a receiver like this, go through the process of adjusting voltages, since it's +50 years old and components are out of value. In this case BIAS voltage should have been 50mV, and it was 88mV on a channel and 93mV on the other, which is x2 the value, so it was working a bit warm, having it working cold extends its life, now I'm almost done with the part list to order on USA (resistors and capacitors that have been tested and are out of ESR / capacitance). #newage #hifi #audio #sony #vintage #AllanTaylor #countrymusic #acoustic #popular #pop #rock #rockstar #tda1541 #analog #cds #digital #metallica #s&m #heavymetal #metal #jameshetfield
