Sanyo A35 Plus Series integrated amp review
It came the same day (Thurs 3/19) as the TT2 tapes, extremely well packed as it should always be. 5 wraps of bubble wrap in a heavy box, placed in a slightly larger box with styrofoam sheet and blocks and those air pillow thingies.
I plugged it in (de riguer at casa stuwee for all SS equipment of unknown downtime for a 24 hour warmup) the relay clicks!! Yea! The meters do the salute, I wait.... It was hell getting the custom handmade speaker cables bare wire in the tiny hole slots, nothing stops me when I'm on a mission  . I hooked up the 'Logans to the little dear rated at only 50 watts @8ohm, 55@4ohms. I made a tape of The Police "Synchronicity" that I bought new in '83, A&M LP to a Maxell XLII-S, at first it was bright with no bass, I went outside for a ciggie and I heard it come 'on song'. I come back inside, yep, it's warmed up and singing Sting's plucked electric bass  . The cymbal's now ring proper and decay nicely in the studio space recorded .It's not as killer as the Yamaha, it wasn't made to be either, but it's very impressive as it sits and plays. I guess my memory ain't so bad after all, I picked a good' un way back when, lost it and found it again  !I never pushed the excellent meters over 50 watts, I never heard clipping or compression. Though it did get quite warm with the Denon on top of it. I heard the signature MOSFET warmth, like I said not better than any other amp I have, just different. Question; Do MOSFET's tend to run hotter in low ohm loads?

Uh Oh! It just got quiet! It's in protection, I guess the 'Logans were a bit to much. Drat, it was really sounding sweeet!
The Rod is an inner sleeve from a trashed GW find, I can't remember the LP, it had "I'm Losing You" on it, IIRC.

Bummer to hear your amp went quiet on you.... Those Logans are monsters, eh!!!???
I hope everything works out. I hope it just heated up and reacted the way it should. Good luck finding a set of speakers to match it. I bet a set of the smaller Infinity Kappas would be a nice vintage match to that amp...

I know better than to be so stupid, "but it sounded so nice" ~ sarcastic last words from me, kids don't try this at home!! I'll have to take the hood off and look around after work today. Socal Sam, you have the seperates of these Sanyo's, don't you? any thoughts? MOSFET's have a different kind of protection curcuit don't they? I'll give a heads up over on Sound Thinking as well I'm truely a f*%k up idiot, stu

Well, if push comes to shove and you can't find anyone in your area to fix it, I know a guy here in Tampa that can pretty much fix anything. I'll be happy to organize that for you, or put you in touch with him. It would just suck to ship back and forth.

 ! Very windy too! I want to take pics outside because the light is better than indoors with a flash with my crappy camera, it's still very gusty out right now,  this afternoon it dies down, the last thing I need is a bunch of dust and crap blowing into it while I snap the pics.A good friend who's also a tech (though he doesn't work on amps very much  ) is visiting from MI this month, if someone can lead me/him in the right direction I'd be everso grateful!! I'll get it open later today!
