I am pumped...Jim Bongiorno to update my Hadley
« on: 5 May 2007, 08:41 pm »
I got a response from Hadley 622 amp  designer Jim Bongiorno,,,he will update my amp..I am psyched to say the least..

Here is the email back:


Dear Jack,
I was the last engineer in the design of the 622. I must be the only person in the world that knows this unit inside and out. Yes I would still do the upgrade if you desire. This would be quite extensive as the parts used in the original are quite antiquated by today's standards. It is a BIG job and takes many hours. One of the benefits however, is that there would be a dramatic increase in power output because the original output devices had tremendous losses. When I get done, the unit puts out close to 80 watts/channel which is double the original rating. I also strongly recommend adding the two servo cards (two are needed because the design is a full wave balanced bridge output. Also, the performance improvement is substantial.
The only drawback is the cost which is $600.00. This includes virtually all new semiconductors, caps, etc. Let me know what you want to do.
James

I know James was involved in a lot of companies, but I have never heard of Hadley. When was it built and what is the power output of it?
