Filtech questions
Dear James, What more can you tell us about the sealed Filtech filters used in the Mk. VIB tuner? What does "barely acceptable" mean? Does that mean these filters were: 1) generally poor filters, even

Hello, Does anybody on the list have experience with the SAE Mk. 1 Preamplifier? Is it similar to the transistorized Marantz 7T? What is its construction and build quality like? Best regards, Paul

Stackpole switches
Hello James, I did some research and it appears that Stackpole was bought out by a company called Electro-Switch, which, apparently, is buying up a lot of switch companies. The site that displays what

Under Thaedra's hood
Hello, Pop open the hood of a Thaedra, and you will see: Intellegently laid out card frame construction (if you have a JRC HF communications receiver you have an idea -- like a computer's plug in

Re: GAS Thaedra
Hello Tony, I purchased the Thaedra about eight years ago (it has never needed a repair since I bought it) because I wanted a high end preamp with tone controls, plus, it had headphone jacks -- what a

Re: GAS Thaedra
Dear James, I'm not exactly sure what's going on with hi-fi these days. The high-end products certainly aren't cheap and you need $1000 interconnects to be with the "in crowd". "Keep it simple" with

Re: Thaedra Green LED
Dear James, Mergers seem to have a way of destroying the original vision. Accounts and business majors step in and say "to survive you have to....". I'm waiting to see what Clarion will do to

Re: GAS Thaedra
Dear Paul, You have justified my reason for being. After all, I set out to prove that a transistorized product could hold its own against the "tube" competition. Believe this:I designed that preamp 25

Re: SAE Mk VI Tuner
Dear Paul, You are correct in that the circuitry of the Charlie remained the same and only the final alignment wasn't done. As far as Marantz goes, Standard Radio of Japan was the company that built

Re: Thaedra Green LED
Dear Paul, Consider yourself lucky. You have an original Thaedra, that is, MINE. After I sold the company to the partners, they decided to make changes hence the LED got changed to red and they added

Thaedra Green LED
Dear James, In going through the past postings to the SAE_Talk, I noticed that you referred to the "GREEN LED" Thaedra. Mine has the Green LED and I was wondering the signifcance of that feature.

Dear James, Inspired by our exchange, I went back into the Thaedra today and gave it a proper going over and noticed some interesting things such as: 1. The last 3 digits of the serial number engraved

Re: SAE Mk VI Tuner
Dear James, Thank you for the explanation! So, if I do come across a Charlie without the rack handles, it's a later one, but still the same circuit-wise. Right? The later ones just need the final

Re: SAE Mk VI Tuner
Dear Paul, Charlie's are hard to come by but on occasion one may be found. The only thing to look out for is whether one has handles or not. After I sold SUMO, there were about 1500 more units that
