GUTZ! Post your favorite amplifier and receiver inards

[Lordoftherings]

I don't take pictures of "serial #s". However, if you look in my system thread and use investigative skills (I'm sure few rival you in that department) you will verify they are indeed the same AVR, or at least you can verify that both pictures were taken in the same location.

No need to, Seth=L, I do believe you.
And I know that you'll never do an hoax like this, it's absolutely not like you.

Again, your pictures are great man, thanks for taking the time.
And I do enjoy this thread immensely.

Sincerely,

Bob

Well even though i am not going to pull everything out of my stand and take it apart i still had to get in on the fun. Here is 1 of my EPA-3 from their web site.

 

[Adam]

I have these in my system thread, but I'll throw them in here. Not my favorite amp, but it is pretty solidly built. Here are some of my IPS-1.

And here is an individual amp module after being removed from the chassis.

Hey Adam i take it you figured out how to get those plugs unhooked, was it a pain?

I think it was you that had a post awhile back right? I thought you didnt want to break them trying to get them apart.

Yep, that was me. What I figured out to do was to wiggle the connector a bit and pull it out such a hair. Then, I slipped a small flat head screwdriver into the small crack between the two half of the connector and pried them apart. Once I did that, it wasn't bad at all.

Thanks for asking!

 

[captiankirk28]

Good glade that it worked out for you without breaking anything.

LOTR, Un Mein Gott = Oh My God! (hey I dated a german girl)

 

[MatthewB.]

BTW LOTR, I have my Citation amp hooked up to my Denon 4802R not my 805 My 805 has an Adcom stereo, H/K 2200 (bridged) and a B&K stereo amp hooked up

 

[Lordoftherings]

Are you feeling good Matthew?

Thanks Matthew for the translation. I also dated a German girl, but she was too busy taking take care of my body and not my brains.

And I see that you like nice big powerful receivers (Onkyo 805 & Denon 4802R).
And what amazes me is that you add a Citation amp on top of your already powerful Denon receiver.

And then you add not one, not two, but three additional amps on top of the already very powerful Onkyo 805 (an Adcom, an H/K bridged , and a B&K)!
Are you sure you got enough power? Is your place a mansion?

Take good care of your hearing.

Ok, here's the deal: if you can come up with some concrete numbers and with proof to back them up, you'll win a FREE TRIP all expenses paid, including hotel reservations, room service, drinks, all your meals, of course lodging, free bar admission anywhere in the area, free topless dancers, and you also got to choose your place of vacation anywhere in the world, and the type of transportation, and for a full month! How's that sounds?
Pretty good isn't, I thought so too.

And I'm quite serious too.

Now, go get it Tarzan! Use anything at your disposition, Google, world wide web, eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, branches from the jungle (just like Tarzan did, but don't forget to strip ), anything at all...

I'll be right here.

Yo Bob!!

I emailed Yamaha Canada and the next morning, I see their response. Talk about great customer service. I wonder if things are slow for them. Anyway, it appears you are correct. Looks good on ya!!


Hi,

You are correct the RX-Z7 and RX-V2700 feature 18,000 uF capacitors and the RX-V1900 featues 12,000 uF capacitors.

Wow! Great find 3db. That doesn't look bad on you either.

Good morning to you too 3db.

This is very old news by now, as Croseiv and Seth=L had already come forward with proofs. And they are both in Bangkok, Thailand in their free month vacation trip, as we speak.

* Pssst, sometimes, by making a statement about something you're not so sure, brings the answers more quickly. Just don't tell anyone.

Thanks anyway for the confirmation, you were just a bit too late, as Croseiv and Seth=L are already enjoying life in their natural hot springs with beautiful exotic naked young woman from Thailand, in the tropical mountains on the outskirts of Bangkok.

Have a great day,

Bob

Note: Oh by the way, I was referring to the Yamaha RX-V3800, right here, in this very own post, also with 18,000uF block capacitors.

And as for the RX-Z7, the RX-V2700 and the RX-V1900; that I knew certainly and 100% undeniable. I'm always right (well at least 5% of the time).

 

[Lordoftherings]

About the guts of an Onkyo TX-NR905 (same as the guts of the 906), and the TX-SR606.

All right now.

My very good friend, Sholling owns the Onkyo TX-NR906 and also the Onkyo TX-SR606.
-> The TX-NR906 has the same internals as the TX-NR905.

So, here's some pictures (in & out) of these two receivers.

* TX-NR905 > http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2007/onkyo_tx_nr905.shtml
>> Block capacitors (2) = 18,000uF each. *** (Needs confirmation!!!)

* TX-SR606 > http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2008/onkyo_tx_sr606_1.shtml
>> Block capacitors (2) = 10,000 uF each.

And just for good measure, I'm also throwing the Onkyo TX-SR607 internal guts.
I'm sure that few members own that receiver. That should also please them.

* TX-SR607 > http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2009/onkyo_tx_sr607_1.shtml
>> Block capacitors (2) = 10,000uF each.

So, for all members, owners of these receivers, and everyone else interested to have a look, please enjoy.

Bob

Note: Just for pure information purpose, the Yamaha RX-V2600 has 15,000uF per each primary block capacitor. And it has two of them, of course.

 

[Lordoftherings]

Yamaha RX-V2700 & RX-V2600 expose their guts.

For owners of the Yamaha RX-V2700 and Yamaha RX-V2600,
here's the full revelation of their external and internal pictures.

That should please few people.

* RX-V2700 -> http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2007/Yamaha_RX-V2700_01.shtml
>> The block capacitors (2) of the RX-V2700 are rated at 18,000uF each. (6 pages.)

* RX-V2600 -> http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2005/yamaha_rx_v2600_1.shtml
>> The block capacitors (2) of the RX-V2600 are rated at 15,000uF each. (9 pages.)

~~ Quite interesting internals, isn't? I thought so too.
~~~ And these are very detailed reviews with tons of information about all aspect of their features and performance. And both of them are awarded the highest score,
(Referenz) which means REFERENCE A/V receivers with the full set of stars.
Cannot get any better than this.
And you probably remember too, they were also highly rated right here at Audioholics,
and at several other audio magazines from their web sites. Kudos to Yamaha.

My 20 yo Onkyo Grand Integra A-G10 integrated amp.

8x12000uf caps, 65lbs, 135wrms, great D/A converters. Five block construction.

 

[Lordoftherings]

^ Magnifique! Une veritable beaute. (Above) ^

^ Quite impressive. Wow!

Thanks Kitsum.

 

[Seth=L]

HOLY CAPACITORS BATMAN! That's nearly 100,000uF total!

 

[3db]

It doubles as arc welder too..

 

[Seth=L]

It doubles as arc welder too..

No kidding, I've seen welders with less beef than that Integra (I'm sure the amperage and voltage don't quite mesh though).

 

[Lordoftherings]

Denon AVR-4308ci and AVR-4306ci (it's predecessor).

Ok, time to see under the hood of these two Denon A/V receivers,
the newer AVR-4308ci and the older AVR-4306ci.

* AVR-4306ci -> http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2006/denon_avr_4306_1.shtml

* AVR-4308ci -> http://www.areadvd.de/hardware/2007/Denon_AVR_4308_01.shtml

** AVR-4308ci (Suite) -> http://www.areadvd.de/lm/AV_Hardware/test_cinemike4308.shtml

>>> And don't forget to click on the next page(s) at the bottom left of each page.

~~~ And for the personal pleasure of Seth=L (and other members too), the block capacitors are rated at 18,000uF, or is it now?
Could they be less (15,000uF) or could they be more perhaps (22,000uF)? Stay tune, next week for the true answer.

<> By the way Seth=L, I did ask you previously what was the total capacitance of the two primary block capacitors
inside the Marantz SR-18 A/V receiver. Do you know? Anyone?

You all take good care of each other now,

Bob

 

[Seth=L]

No I don't know the total block capacitance of the SR 18
