| Accuphase A-48S I have some free time tonight, so let’s discuss some details on how to connect the transformer to 240V. Remove all the six transformer primary winding wires from the circuit board. Use a multimeter to perform a continuity test to confirm which... | |
| Accuphase A-48S @andyf Thank you for providing the transformer spec. Sorry, I don't know the output voltage of the transformer, maybe @foolishman has measurements. However, I remember there was a post from an old thread mentioned that the relay was a 18VDC re... | |
| Accuphase A-48S just what would I install on J2, as it only has a single tab. 716-1374-01 is a soft start resistor board. Based on my previous experience, two sets of resistors are connected in parallel via J1 and J3 (100/120V setting), and two sets of resisto... | |
| Accuphase e260 I agree that the Accuphase electronics are of very high quality, perhaps the only criticism is the plastic casing of the remote. | |
| Accuphase A-48S @andyf Convert 100V to 230/240V, in addition to replacing the standby circuit transformer on #716-0962-01, 1. You will also need to find out which wires belong to which set of primary windings using an ohmmeter. 2. Remove jumpers J1 and J3 a... | |
| Can I use my Nakamichi cassette deck to record on tape into a Schiit Freya plus preamp? Connect a Sony SB-500 tape recorder switch box between the phono stage and the Freya+ preamp to add tape looping functionality. | |
| 12v trigger question To safely trigger the DAC, put a diode in series with each input, it will prevent backfeeding between the inputs. | |
| What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button? I still do not understand why combining "strapping" the signal in the cartridge is any different than combining them in the phono-pre or combining them externally with a Y adapter. Unlike adapting a stereo cartridge for mono either through rota... | |
| What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button? So, if I understand this correctly, a mono button, y adapter, and "strapped" construction all do the very same thing: sum both sides of the cartridge together so that the same signal comes from both speakers. Correct? Yes, the reverse-connected... | |
| What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button? I have assembled a dedicated mono rig (VPI Super Scoutmaster Special Edition w JMW Memorial tonearm, Ortofon Quintet mono cart into Plinius P-100 phono-pre with no mono button). I believe this to be described as a true mono cart and I’m getting d... | |
| How to PM someone @ghdprentice @mitch2 I followed your instructions and it just brings me to the users feedback page with no option anywhere to “Send Message.” If you see this page after clicking on the username (did you mean the user's avatar?), select "Market... | |
| A question on amp matching Among all the other specs, how important is gain in addition to power output at a rated speaker impedance? Usually, the gain specification of a power amplifier is the voltage gain in dB, which evaluates the amplifier’s amplification capability ... | |
| After-market Solution to replace the D-8 power supply for McIntosh C8? This vintage McIntosh C8 mono preamp is over 60 years old! Some faulty parts may catch fire or explode when energized. Before you spend money on a power supply, my advice is to send it to a competent technician for inspection to make sure the unit... | |
| Trying to find a passive attenuator with a mono/stereo switch and RCA in and RCA out Modify the Schiit Sys input selector switch to a stereo/mono switch by soldering 2 resistors and a jumper wire, this is a 15 minute job. | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Wadax components get great reviews, cost a fortune, and look like a cheap boom box. https://wadax.eu/reference/ Plus 1000 @otherworld74 Until you see the back panel!!! |
