| Ebay LP Purchases I do ebay, set sales, buy lots of new music and do discogs.com. I buy from stores, both new and used stuff.Also have run a record label, Load Records , though its noisy music and this forum does seem to trend towards tamer sounds. | |
| McCormack DNA-1 runs hot I had some problems with my 225 that ended up being traceable to a bad IC to the preamp. My problems actually resulted in repairs (a good excuse I used to get an SMc upgrade). | |
| What is your source for discovering new music? I go to a few review blogs:BlastitudeBrainwashedStill SingleTiny Mix Tapessometimes pitchfork.Some bulletin board chatter:Board.crewcialTermboYes on FMU.I talk to people at record stores and ask them, what are you listening to. I buy about 10 LP's... | |
| Power cable shutting amp down Problem seems to be found... One of my somewhat lengthy runs of Kimber 8TC is bad. I guess retermination is the answer. Tried it with another amp/preamp and that seemed to be it. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down ground actually was attached, just had to tighten the clamp... I don't think this is it. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down I found my house ground is not connected to the grounding rod. I am going to connect this back up. Must have been messed up by a utility guy checking the meters. Oof. Hope this is the fix. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down my amp (McCormack 225) has a heat sensor that shuts the amp down... It has now done it with the Shunyata. Could it be the power? Not sure if surges could do this. Would the answer be to get a power conditioner? I am having the amp shipped to Jim M... | |
| Power cable shutting amp down if it was the male IEC in my amp when I switched power cords the amp would still shut down. When I switch cords it does not shut down. | |
| good rca y-adapter I used Voodoo for an adapter for my Shunyata Python with a NEMA plug to a 15amp IEC and they were fast and I was pretty happy with the product. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down JPS got back and said they would take care of it in under five minutes from when I emailed them. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down I sent an email to JPS... I hope they will take care of it. Its a used power cord, hopefully they will still support it. | |
| Power cable shutting amp down JPS seems to work fine with the preamp. I am gonna take it appart and reassemble this see if this does the trick. JPS Power AC+ sounds better on the amp than the preamp.Thanks for all this though. | |
| McCormack 225 preamp match Very happy with the McCormack 225 thus far, will likely do some of the upgrades this year on that amp, as I love to tweak my rig, ha. Will likely get the LD-2 preamplifier with the phono module... |
