bro, it sounds as good as i can remember it... i couldn't really tell if the tweaks had any improvement or any change at all, since i haven't used it for at least 4 months, but i do remember how it sounds in general... extended highs, not very weighty but fast & tuneful bass, etc... tony said replacing old electrolytic caps is a standard tweak since such parts dry up and degrade over time.

bro,

masaya na ko sa mx-1 he he. kahit sa panaginip di ko kaya yang digital amp na successor at $5000.

nadinig mo na mx-1?

john5479 · « **Reply #485 on:** Mar 30, 2004 at 05:42 PM »

not yet, but they say its a clean sounding amp, i'm lookin for an ss counterpart to my tube monoblocks which are clean sounding as well (btw they cost almost the same as ure mx-1). best of both worlds i guess since the mx-d1 (mx-1s successor) is very expensive $:-\$
plus the form factor is attractive since its not as bulky as other amps.

BGA VI,

The mute and other functions of your RXV-630 RC may work with AX-1200. Manufacturers usually use the same code numbers for their amps/receivers. What I'm worried about is whether the amp is still available. Good luck!

P.S. If u got the AX-1200 and ur RC didn't work with it, just send me PM.

45mm, these are the onkyo & yamaha models i would be interested in:

Onkyo Integra A-817XX, A-819RS, A-820GT
Most integras at the pier are in this category. They basically have the same 205W - 210W power consumption so their output power is probably 100wpc and above. The 820GT is rated 110W/ch. Model numbers that i've seen are 817 and 819. The last 2 letters indicate the year of manufacture, where "XX" are the latest models (1987). . . .

Because of this thread, I know the history of my amp now Ü Its an Integra 817XX which i did not know anything about, except its visible functions, much less what the "XX" extension meant. It was brought from Japan.

Would you know anything about the Marantz PM 54DS? I was told that the PM stands for Philips when it bought out Marantz? What about the DS extension? This, too, is from Japan. I was told that it was a showroom unit.

Thank you!

akyatbundok · « **Reply #495 on:** Apr 05, 2004 at 12:43 PM »

kaffee1, i think marantz pm-54ds is an entry level integrated amp late 80's model... there are higher models 64, 74, 84 up to 94... the "PM" prefix is still being used by marantz in new models... it probably stands for "Pre-Main amp" coz that's what the japs call an integrated amp... the "DS" i'm not sure, but i did see the sequence of models being mentioned... PM-54 --> PM-54D --> PM-54DS... so that probably means the DS is newer than either a D or none... not sure just guessing.

RE: "kaffee1, i think marantz pm-54ds is an entry level integrated amp late 80's model..."

Thanks, AB, for putting up with newbie questions! Would the Onkyo be classified entry-level as well?

akyatbundok · « **Reply #497 on:** Apr 05, 2004 at 02:06 PM »

hmm can't tell bro, probably same level as pm-64 of marantz... my friend has that same model a-817xx, it sounds great!

av_phile1 · « **Reply #498 on:** Apr 05, 2004 at 02:32 PM »

To my knowledge, an Onkyo affixed with the Integra name is not entry level.

Hmmm. interesting thought there. Yes, it does sound good. Was wondering about its Contrabass feature initially, till I discovered that it mimics a sub even if it is hooked up to a pair of 3-ways only. Btw, it also has dials for the VCR, so I suppose it was one of those models which already had the video sound output in place?

Thank you!

Hya folks, anyone been to the pier lately, any new items kaya? I've been planning to get some stuff from there but I don't know who to approach. I'd appreciate your suggetions on this.

Thanks!

just go walk into the stores and dont be easily swayed to buying on your first visit..
marami lugar duon na caters to surplus amps and TV's..malulunod ka kung di ka marunong
-tip-
take your time pre and enjoy the stroll

good luck and hope you get your money's worth!

av_phile1 · « **Reply #502 on:** Apr 12, 2004 at 01:04 PM »

The place can really be overwhelming of choices. Good thing for me they don't accept credit cards

My last visit there was in Feb. So far, mababait naman sila. As you walk through the stalls, there'll be many who will offer their wares, short of begging. Just tell them you're just canvassing and not yet buying. The salesguy in one stall with an enormous inventory of amps and receivers seemed accomodating enough. They're ready to have your choice tested without a promise to buy right away. But if you see and test a really good unit, haggle for and get it right away. Chances are you won't see it again when you return to buy.

saan sa cubao ang tindahan nila? ganoon din ba ang presyo ng bentahan nila katulad sa pier? sayang may nakita ko sa pier last saturday na sony 555es kaya lang sira ang volume knob, meron pa ba kayong may alam na ganitong model?

actually, nakadisplay lang din tong sansui ko sa house. di ko pa din namamaximize gamitin. pero parang nasasayangan din ako kung idispose ko na lang basta basta. balak ko din pumunta sa pier to look for surplus speakers, preferably sansui din.
