IMHO Stereophile's review conclusions of this source were fair and valid. The Njoe Tjoeb remains an unusual source component both in being a modded cheap Marantz and in allowing/encouraging user internal component switching. While this appealed to me (and worked out well for me), I can readily imagine that it would not conceptually be everybody's cup of tea. If your DIY gene is dormant (or recessive), such component fiddling could give you fits. If you are dependent on others "Golden Eared" opinions, then the 4000 could leave you distressed and conflicted. The Njoe Tjoeb requires, quite simply, just a little bit of owner self confidence.

i wasnt talking about the conclusion, i read the whole review, they had plenty positive to say.

You're right; I mis-spoke.

hello guys,

i so need your help. i think my ah njoeb tube is busted.

the left channel produces distorted sound already, despite changing tubes.

what do you think should the remedy be for this?

thanks a lot.

if the left channel distorts even when swapping tubes it's probably something else...

[teridon]

what ought to be done then? do you suggest replacing the board altogether or some other fix may be done?

i tried using the digital output and the signals sounded fine, so i guess the transport is not the problem.

someone would have to look at it

it seems like it's isolated to the analogue section of the player
