I think we will all be interested in your future posting with the comparison
testing results.

"Running too hot" has NEVER been an issue with the $7 "generic" or rather,
after market replacements I get from my jobber. 100% OK.

The markings on the replacement chips that I have always obtained from my
jobber @ $7 appear to be the same as the more expensive Sony supplied
chips.... it looks to me like the SAME manufacturer and almost definitely
NOT some cheapo Hong Kong, inferior, rip-off.with obvious cosmetic
challenges that we are all familiar with.

Yes, but is there a difference in the "Sony A" for $30 or the "generic A"
for
$7? I'm going to find out next Sony I work on. The last 2 generics I
replaced
were running over 160 degrees F. I think that's really too hot. I'm
anxious to
compare the original Sony. Sony still sells both the STRS6301 and 6301A as
a
different part number.
