| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm ... I finally found the owners manual on line. It is very dumbed down ... I thought the same! A component such as the PE 505 really deserves a better manual. Note the caveat on page 9 about feeding the balanced inputs from a TT wher... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm ... I originally assumed you were referring to the case where you feed a signal from a SE component (NOT a phono cartridge) From the beginning, this thread has been about the Teac PE 505 balanced phono preamp. I’ve not spoken about a... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning before and after jctyler I’m trying to get a couple of records clean that are irreplaceable. I’m using an ultrasonic cleaner, doing 3 at a a time. First 15 mins I did distilled water with a bit of rubbing alcohol. I wouldn’t recommend using rubbing alcohol on ... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm What I am talking about, what you say happens, is feeding a differential amplifier with a single-ended signal where you say the SE signal is converted to balanced mode. I've never said that because the turntable output isn’t singled-e... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm That would be a neat trick indeed, without a transformer to do the job. I suppose it could be done with an active device, too, but that would be suboptimal, because it requires a processing step in the signal path ... @lewm, please, w... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm Reviews suggest the RCA inputs (and outputs) on the PE505 offer the option of unbalanced operation, as I suggested might be the case. Of course you're running unbalanced if you're using the RCA outputs. But it looks like it's fully ba... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? dover You said you've never heard it. Why do you post speculative brouhaha about something you've never heard. That is the logical fallacy known as the excluded middle: ... the principle of excluded middle states that for every propositio... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm Do you know for a fact that the RCA jacks on the TEAC offer input to the balanced circuit? More likely the RCAs ground the negative phase of a balanced signal inside the chassis and convert to SE operation. I've not examined a Teac PE 505... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm I realize you love ARC, and I’ve figured out that’s why you keep bringing up RCAs ... No, I mentioned RCA connectors because it was responsive to the OP's question: ... aside from those tables that have xlrs outs, is it just a matte... | |
| McIntosh mp 100 Phone Preamp Problem.... Blinking Red Power Button Have you tried this, as explained in the manual: Reset of Microprocessors In the unlikely event the controls of the MP100 stop functioning, the microprocessors can be reset by per- forming the following: 1. Press and hold in the STANDBY/ON Push-b... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm In a typical DIN to RCA cable, the shield would be connected to “ground” ... A proper phono cable coming from 5-pin DIN to RCA will have a completely separate ground wire, such as these. Anyway, every balance phono I’m familiar with... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? audiocanada I just ordered a Luxman PD 151 Mark II if I have understood correctly, I can just replace the included din cable with an aftermarket din to lxlr cable, add mc cart, run to my teac balanced preamp... and Im now fully balanced? Yes,... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? lewm ... the general consensus is that the XLR connector is inherently superior to the RCA connector, balanced or not ... I’ve seen some really exquisite RCA connectors but I’m inclined to agree with you - the XLR design is better from the get... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? audiocanada is it just a matter of finding a din to xlr tone arm cable? dover The answer to your question is yes. If the tonearm has a 5 pin DIN output all you should need would be a DIN to XLR phono cable. You can ignore all the other piff... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? elliottbnewcombjr ... I would not needlessly complicate a home audio system with xlr ... XLR is just a type of connector. Why do you think it’s complicated? ... I tried xlr, and found it a waste of time ... As @lewm suggests above, you pro... |
