I too have learned a ton from this website and this thread in particular. Since my last post above, I have totally rebuilt my STASIS 2 that had the burnt-out channel with all new output devices, small transistors, cap upgrades throughout, emitter resistors upgrade, and more that I can't think of right now. At the same time I bought a Tektronic 465B scope that was in great shape and calibrated, a Hakko soldering station, a signal generator, a few more VOMs, lots of leads and uh, you know the rest. After that, I went though my other STASIS 2 with the same upgrades as above except for new output devices since the originals were all working fine, Both of the STASIS 2s are in daily use driving bi-amped Apogee Duetta Sigs . . . But did you think I would stop with that? Well, while I was on a roll, I got my hands on a STASIS 3 with a burned-out channel . . . it's totally rebuilt and upgraded now and sounds great! I even gone as far as to pick up a few dead middle-of-the-road pieces cheap on eBay as sort of a practice challenge. So far one pre-amp has me beat, but it's some sort of computer-controlled SAE thing and I can't find schematics for it. It looks like the proprietary CPU has issues, but I don't lose any sleep over it. I'm learning from it. I can always salvage the screws from it!
Yes, I too have learned a ton from you, Chris, and the guys here on this thread, and I know that I will learn more here in the future. THANK YOU!
PS: Yes Chris, I took your advice and used ON MJ21195 and MJ21196 . . oh so nice!
