Default Re: Soviet HI-FI

Answered my own question, some Russian IC's here - http://www.sovtube.com/4-ics and here - http://www.silirium.ru/ussr-1811.html

Watched the amp video, those blue film caps seem to be in every bit of gear you have. Also noted several BD139 sized transistors without heatsinks. Compared to an 80's Japanese amplifier, it's similar in that there'd been a move away from big powerfull amps, like those made by Pioneer to simple bare bones amps powered by chips.

I was especially interested in what they used as output devices. An English version would be much appreciated, being English I don't do foreign languages, prefering to shout instead : ) jThat was a joke BTW.

Why did they start building hifi in the 80's I wonder? There's no 70's era Soviet hifi is there, or if there is, not in the same quantity?

Lastly, you look very young, how did you get into hifi and learn electronics?

Andy.
