SAMXON in a NAD? Really?

Yeah, not all Samxon are bad, just that most caps go bad when they are placed in silly places as that picture on the left kinda shows they are trapped in a box area with a allow heatsink to boot. If i get it working planning some sort of fix for that.

The 12000uf caps are in terrible state, ones bulging and the other rattles ^^, although over 12 years old now lol. Trying to source out some replacements but the data sheets don't seem to give the ripple current. Every other cap i have found every detail i need but those, if you want to try your luck

: Samxon 120000uf 80v 85c series LP

Not only that these would are why it's like that and i would of thought it would get pretty toasty

But yes it is sad to see NAD using such and not more recognized names. They were just g3etting in to the AVR market and it shows a lot, there amps are next to none but if the AVR's have improved i would hope so as their sound is unique.

But if i do happen to get it running as it should i am going add extra fans inside it as they should of done but probably didn't due to people moaning. Maybe buy a hub and have power connector added to the rear for it.

The main boards no better caps real close to the heatsinks and was thinking of leaving the legs longer with some insulation on them so they would not get so hot, just thoughts so far need to get it all working 1st. Good news is i have power now at least

.

Just for you

Well I must say it has a bit of a humming noise, the bearings I guess, to my ears the previous Scythe 120mm (1200rpm) fan at around 800rpm was even more quiet somehow but this 140mm will probably move more air.

Yeah I live in Europe.

@Beastie I would still recommend 120mm 1200rpm Scythe fans and set them around or under 1000rpm. http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/fans/slip-stream-120.html

I'm even thinking on replacing the new be quiet! 140mm again with the Scythe 1200mm that I still have...

Based on my experience scythe fans are some of the best money can buy in both quality, performance, and even the company support is top shelf. I personally used to go with the Kaze, iirc they had a CFM of 107 point something which if you know 120 mm case fans is pretty goddamn high. Their support as always is great,on two or three separate occasions they have sent me replacement fans,brand-new in box to make up for fans that have started to vibrate or rattle after three or four years of use even though they were out of warranty they didn't ask any questions they just replaced them with brand-new ones ... certainly one of the more reliable companies majoring in PC cooling

I never had a portable cd player, just a sony cassette walkman and later-on a little stereo set with my first cd-player.

I went though a few of both, made like crap unlike this, it's actually screwed together and none of that new SONY clip crap.

O yeah this is not portable, i believe this was before they went portable.

EDIT: unless they did sell them with 9v battery's

I was at the local tech mall earlier today, grabbed me some goodies.....a Ringke case for my LG V20, a 6TB HDD to add to my 4 bay HDD enclosure (which already has 2x 6TB HDD's) and a Mistel Barocco RGB keyboard.

The thing about the Mistel KB is, you can split it apart to 2 halves and place them in such a manner that they'd feel more ergonomic...

Not a big fan of RGB, but that is one sweet keyboard.

Ruger AR556

What do you think of that front grip on the forearm. I'm looking into one for mine at the next show here. Just feel I would have better control over the weapon.

I like it man. Gives better control I think. Although, with the Ruger, I had to purchase a clamp on tri-rail for the forestock. Picked that up from Ruger for $14 shipped I think.

And, wow, there are a ton of different front grips available. I picked that one up on Sportsman's Guide for $7.

But yea, it feels, to me anyhow, more natural rather than having my wrist twisted to grab the front stock.
