Never got to see the inside of the M-25 yet, haven't had the chance to take it apart to get it going, looks nice, quality Metal can transistors, never seen them go bad Smile

I hope this isn't rude, but I am curious as to what you sold the M22 for?

The last one was sold for 674,4 $ with NOS TO3 Transistors and all capacitors change on the boards.

Its missing some paint here and there, but is in technical 110% tip top.

A mint M22 in same technical condition will cost around 1350$, if sold on ebay.de i think i could get more.

I'm sure the question wasn't directed towards me, but I've seen a couple of accuphase vintage amps, new old stock, in the box on ebay, and the guy who was selling them was nice enough to take the cover off to show the inside, very very well built and they look great. I can't speak for the sound, but by the looks of it, it would have been a remarkable amp.

I never owned a Accuphase amp, but i have heard some, and the sound never exited me enough to try it.

If i ever got a very nice offer i'm sure i would try, they look great, and heavy.

Mono blocks, i love the idea and the look of it, but i never made it work, same with bi amping and so on.
Its hard to find 1 amp that i like, and finding the right power cable signal cable and so on, finding double up is almost impossible to me, and trying always failed.

The best results i had was always from stereo amps. But i have far from tried everything.. so who knows what i think in 2020.. Wink

Dali Gravity.

The final production amp was made in 20 pieces, and made as a statement project to go with the DALI Megaline speakers.
Who needed 2 stereo amps to play. http://www.dali-speakers.com/en-US/Loudspeakers-1/MEGALINE.aspx

Its 100W pure KL A 2 x 120mm Papst ventilators, and seriously over sized in all ways, its consuming around 1,1Kw continuously.

The result is power response i haven't heard matched, and its no matter what kind of load you put on.

Its 100Kg / 220lbs, not very handy to move around.


Greetings, stridsvognen,

I'd like to learn more about the Dali Gravity amp Idea
I have insufficient posts to PM; however, should you read this message, please consider contacting me at this address: onerossocorsa328 at hotmail dot com.

Thanks Razz

hey Andre - are the pics of the DR-3 stretched in height? they look taller than other DR of the time, but i haven't seen DR-3 before.

i really like the old school Classe models. was once upon a time thinking about a pair of DR8 bridged mono for my CLS panels

Denon PMA S1

Maybe the best sounding amp from Denon. Its 2x50W, not enough to run big speakers, but for a set of smaller 2 way speakers set up right, this integrated amp will please you. And the built in Riaa that is quite nice to.

Its the most beautiful finish i have ever seen on any hifi..

Just got the clothes off my PMA S1 to check Bias settings, so here you go.. All naked..

mmmm Denon Very Happy My preferred brand for home theater equipment.

Now for stereo equipment, I have to say I'm a McIntosh person myself. I'll have to grab some pics of my tube amplifier. Hopefully I can get a 2nd one soon so I can run them both in mono for more power Very Happy

Hi,

Very nice. Looks like real rock-solid technology. What I like most is that it seems to be using conventional parts only...

Yeah its simple true KL. A power.. 2x100w, it was designed to 2x120w, with all parts beeing able to run idle, no stress, but even with the active cooling it was not possible to keep the temperature down, when adjusting bias to 2x120w

So emagine how much KL.A power there is in those big passive cooled amps claiming 200W.KL.A

Ist normal parts, Rifa caps, Motorola transistors, Telemecanic contactors, industrial type for output relay.

It have DC, HF, heat and overload protection, i know it was tested at full load shorting a speaker output, and it just shot Down and no harm done.

Most amasing is the shassis.. Its CNC machined alu, and its like LEGO.. put the parts together.. super tight tolerances, and the top plate with 18xM4 screws , and holes 4,1mm and they all go right in with not even a hint of touching the side of any of the holes.

There is a few weeknesses, its from around 1991 so its not new anymore, the jumpers under the relay can need resoldering, i think its from the hot Cold movement of the massive chassis stressing the solderings.

At bias set to 100W it is around 60C hot, and higher bias it will shot Down on overheat in hot weather after 6-8 hours of use, Its the transformer core getting to hot.

This is the Dali Detal Pre. Amp made for the Dali Gravity/ Dali Megaline setup.

You see the one channel on the Picture, there is one more under it, and there is a pic where you see a bit of the Penny & Giles Volume pot.
