| XLR Pinouts on Thorens TD1601 1. QUESTION: Can anyone tell me the XLR pinouts of the Thorens TD-1601? I could be wrong, but I don’t think Thorens would use the "American" standard (1=GND =HOT 3=COLD) since it comes from Germany. However, this can be easily confirmed by a... | |
| Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V) @joaop_ferreira Welcome to the forum! I will be visiting Japan and would like to buy an Accuphase E303. Do you think that the wiring system is similar and that it would be possible to convert it to 230V AC ? Yes, you can download the service... | |
| NAD C399 connected to the Nalai Hypex 500 Monoblocks as a preamp. The key question is if the sound characteristics of the NAD synergize well with the amp for your particular tastes/preferences and within the context of your system. I don't think anyone but the OP himself can give any meaningful answer to this... | |
| NAD C399 connected to the Nalai Hypex 500 Monoblocks as a preamp. Based on the specs, I don't see any mismatch. The preamp output to power amplifier input impedance ratio is greater than 10:1, and the preamp has sufficient gain to drive the power amplifier to its full power rating except at the lowest gain setti... | |
| Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V) does it matter which wires go on top and on the bottom of pin 3 ? It doesn’t matter. the fuse is currently used on a 120b Hegel H190 and it’s rated at 10AT ( slow blow) IIRC, the fuse in the E-270 is 5A slow blow, your 10A SR fuse will not... | |
| Accuphase E-260 Voltage Conversion (100V to 230V) If following the voltage conversion table to 120v from the e-260 service manual, and apply the rewiring on the e-270, it turns out that pin 2 should be black and pin 4 should be orange. @jgore Pins 2 and 4 are not connected to any part of the... | |

| Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers This is the first time I heard of restrictions using a SS amp with a tube preamp, is this specific to Krell? Designer's decision! He didn't want the leaky coupling caps in a tube preamp (some vintage/boutique PIO caps tend to leak) damaging dow... | |
| Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers The red circles are the two coupling film capacitors, next to them are the jumpers (green circles). Removing the black plastic jumpers will activate the coupling caps. | |
| Looking for a phonostage similar to stock one in RA180 I tried a few from $1000 to $5000 and could not get that sound. If you have no noise issues with other phono stages, your RA180 may need service/repair. | |
| Preamp 47K load. Cartridge needs 330 ohm Where is the OP going to find a SUT with a 1:12 step up ratio? | |
| Looking for a phonostage similar to stock one in RA180 I never heard a better phonostage in my system. The only drawback is - it is extremely noisy. According to Stereophile review JA's measurement: I examined the phono input's adjustable equalization set to "RIAA" and the output measured at the... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps If I buy from my dealer he’ll load it in my SUV. However when I get home it will be difficult to get it out and onto the garage floor where I can place it on my handcart. Then when I get it next to my rack I need to maneuver it out of the box and... | |
| how to test tubes with your multimeter(filament continuity) I get the idea that that a tube with continuity may still be bad but will not cause catastrophic damage to the amp that it is inserted in. Not really, a shorted tube can cause damage to the amp. Simple tests for Tubes with a Multi Meter | |
| Accuphase E-280 Voltage Conversion (100V to 120V) I suppose the last picture above is the post-modification (working at 120v) ? @jcgoobee Yes, if your E-280 has the same connections and color coded wires. 120V connection: 100V connection: |
