| Power supply successfully powered up. Here is my Orchard Audio StarKrimson project Very nice! 👍👍 What is the transformer specs? Would you tell us more about the soft start circuit? TIA | |
| McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover A biwirable speaker provides a separate path for lo and hi frequencies, but they are still joined electrically at the xover. @cleeds Would you post some example what make and model of speakers that is bi-wirable but not bi-ampable? TIA | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy Sadly the cord used from the power board to the inlet, about 8" long is 20 gauge. Kind of disappointing honestly, but probably exactly to spec. The choice of a Molex Spox connector I believe limits the maximum gauge to 18 anyway, so assuming I di... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy Tomorrow I replace it. Good luck and please keep us updated with your progress! | |
| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment The adapter in/out may be for an external signal processor like the Audio Control Equalizer and not a true Preamp in/Main Out circuit that is used to hook up an amp or preamp to a receiver. Thanks @lou_setriodes, You’re correct about the " adap... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy These are not convertible transformers. Thank you for your confirmation! | |
| Wattgate Connector Measurements Although the pin is 12mm length, I think the clip 6mm from the surface is a little too much, 2-3mm is more reasonable, IMO.🤔 @erik_squires I think I'm wrong about that! Seems 6mm from the surface is quite common. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amp - what speaker connectors are used…. @firstonetallguy and @ditusa , thanks in fact I was still surprised when I felt that spade connector slide in. @thomastrouble , I agree that those clear plastic covers is difficult to see the slot on the bottom of the binding posts. I should h... | |

| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy Ground goes on top. 😀 Unlike AC Receptacles, IEC 60320 inlets can install in any orientation, some Marantz and Denon even put it sideways.😀 | |
| Wattgate Connector Measurements What I’m feeling is the pin grip mechanism keep it from accepting the full width of an IEC pin. From what I can see from a clear casing Wattage, its spring clips are deeper form the surface compare to others in the market. That could be a probl... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy I have a chance I can do everything through the outlet hole. If possible, try turn the original C18 inlet 180° before you replace it, perhaps that can help the aftermarket plug stay in better since the two pins are on upper side. Hopefully you... | |
| Wattgate Connector Measurements Did you compare the result of Wattgate, Connex and the stock Luxman plug into the Luxman C18 socket? Can the Wattgate plug in all the way? Is it possible to post this thread on DIYAudio site? images/drawings are more easy to upload without requir... | |
| My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy Great! @erik_squires 👍 Please let us know your progress. BTW, since you going to open the chassis of your Luxman, Would you do us a big favor to check the power transformer primary winding if there multi tap or not, so we can be sure the possibil... | |
| Q on connecting Benchmark DAC3HGC to AHB2 You will clearly see the slot (16mmx2mm) for spade connection on a black version of the same binding post. |
