So could the small black capacitors be OK, too? I could take a close look at one of my B-3's and provide the exact component info, if that would help. From a Google search, "run capacitors are mostly polypropylene film capacitors". This is the first time I've read that that big fat white and blue capacitor might be better quality than those used in other B networks. Your comment made me wonder if anyone has actually identified the B-3 components to determine their quality/usable life. I'm in the same boat with 1984 units that still sound wonderful. As you probably know, the B-3 is the least discussed Cornwall network, since it was used only briefly (maybe 2.5 years, 1983 to 1985) during the Cornwall production run. Good info and insight there on the B-3 network. (Still running a Philips AF-887 turntable, too.)ĭean, hello. Crites would agree to a pre-, in addition to post-, testing of the networks, just to document how far off a 33 year old network can be.ĭemoing my system from the 80's for friends, family and acquaintances never gets old. Maybe I'll send the B-3's out for a Crites recap.
#NIKKO ALPHA III STEREO AMPLIFIE PLUS#
From what I've read and heard, it would cost a thousand dollars plus to improve upon the Nikko sound. I can only turn up the Alpha 220 to about 9:00 with the Cornwalls as they are incredibly efficient. I'm fearful of what an Alpha 440 would sound like (220 wpc vs 120 wpc). I still have the Beta 20 and Gamma 20 that I purchased at that time, but have since acquired the Beta 40 and Gamma 40 which are noticeably better components. I picked up the Alpha 220 as a teenager and it's still running like new 35 years later.Ī Nikko stack plus Cornwalls is a match made in heaven. Too funny! You better believe that I've driving those Cornwalls with an original Nikko stack.
