Yeah, I really hope it is a power supply issue since that should be a very simple swap of an external item. The issue I’m running into is that I can’t find a replacement 8 pin DIN power supply anywhere! It’s as if Guy was the only guy (no pun intended) persisting with this type of connector, and no one makes them anymore. The mfg is CUI. The model is EMSA050120 and the part number is EMSA050120-P5P-SZ (output 5V, 1.2A). I would of course welcome any suggestions for sourcing direct replacements or even suitable substitutes.
Repair options for Placette passive linestage?
Just learned the sad news that Guy Hammel the erstwhile founder/owner of Placette Audio passed away. Any thoughts on repair options for what has otherwise been a flawless performer for the last eight years?
Specifically, my Placette audio passive linestage isn't transmitting a signal to my amps, and was only quasi responsive to inputs from the remote or the manual volume toggle (amber light was intermittent and I’d hear a few clicks before even those would shut down). Since then, the unit seems completely dead (no lights or reaction to remote or toggle inputs whatsoever). Seems like a power supply issue to me.

Try one of these:
Here's CUI's new version, from Mouser:
Any competent Tech should be able to convert the plug. Placette (which seems to remain operational) still offers replacement PCs, for their units: http://www.placetteaudio.com/replacement.htm I owned a Plcette Passive Linestage, for a few years and loved the purity. |

Also, while Placette’s website is still up and running, they are NOT operational (Guy’s widow confirmed as much to me), so I caution anybody against hitting the Buy button on any products. |
