@jacobsteel - The guitar pedal adaptor theory makes a lot of sense. 9V would be more than enough to kill a CX20084. The capacitors which measure...
Fingers crossed @jacobsteel. Hopefully you have found the problem. It is also worth checking the ESR of the electrolytic capacitors around the...
Hi Derek, I would be very careful with the Sony power adaptors. If the regulators fail then the output voltage can increase. Also, one of my...
Unfortunately I don't have any spare CX20084s available for sale. Regarding regulators, yes I have developed a small regulator to protect the...
I second what Valentin has posted. Especially his third paragraph on the importance of taking care not to damage existing CX20084 ICs. I, too,...
Unfortunately not. These are getting really hard to find now.
Hello and welcome.
There are some custom made flat ribbon cables inside the DD9. If one of these is fractured, there are no new spares available so a replacement...
At this stage, remove the battery and don't put any power on it. I would need to see this on the bench to diagnose the problem but trying to power...
Hi Roy and welcome to Stereo2go. You will find lots of enthusiasts and knowledgeable folk on here. What is the problem with the DD9?
Hello and welcome to Stereo2go.
The CX20084 is used on the D6C but not on the D6. In my opinion, this is a design fault on the D6C as the CX20084 is very easily damaged,...
Hi Benjamin and welcome to Stereo2go. Fortunately the D6 is a bit more robust than the D6C when faced with unsuitable power supplies. That said,...
Hi and welcome to Stereo2go. This seems to be a bit of an unusual fault. Normally with a fake CX20084 the motor runs as soon as the power is...
Hi Flavio and welcome to Stereo2go.
Hi and welcome to Stereo2Go. Unfortunately this looks like a classic case of what happens when you use a AC power supply which is wired with the...
An excellent tutorial, however I would like to add one detail. When re-fitting the spring on the pinch roller bracket, check that it is in the...
I think some CX20084s are more tolerent of higher voltages than others. I have heard of them being damaged by using alkaline batteries.
