RE: Audio Research SP3 restored

Brings back memories. I had one of the 1st 50 SP3s. I found that out when mine stopped working. My friend and dealer, David Smith of DS Audio said it wasn't a problem; he knew how to fix it. It turned out to be a thermistor used to slow up the turn on surge. He just replaced it with a jumper wire. Of the 50 SP3s 25 were made with the thermistor and 25 with a jumper. That was the end of the thermistor experiment. My SP3 was the 24th of 25 thermistors to fail.
