| Does my laptop need to be grounded when charging? @jc4659 Is the AC plug on the charger polarized? If not try reversing it 180 in the wall outlet and see if that helps. | |
| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? 5000Va / 120V = 42 amps. | |
| plugging a Cdplayer to Vintage sx-880 Pioneer No you will not damage the SX-880 if you don’t crank up the volume control knob to high causing the amplifier to start to distort. If you turn the volume control up to high that will drive the amp into clipping, then you could fry your speakers.If... | |
| plugging a Cdplayer to Vintage sx-880 Pioneer Let’s work through a real example to make things easier to follow (using data for my Pioneer SX-1250 receiver and Marantz CD-65SE CD player - typical of many vintage amp / modern CD player combinations) : Input sensitivity of SX-1250 "Aux" (... | |
| plugging a Cdplayer to Vintage sx-880 Pioneer i tried both Aux and monitor tape 1 or 2 i dont understand why the monitor tapes inputs sounds better to me and the aux sounds louder but too much mids a highs a little bit exagerated i read many people prefer the monitor over the aux . Make sure... | |
| plugging a Cdplayer to Vintage sx-880 Pioneer do i need some attenuator because signal ouput from Cd player is higher than the tape inputs No.The "tape in" and "AUX" inputs are line level inputs. Just don’t try to use the phono preamp input.Is there a reason you can not use the AUX input f... | |

| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? The hum in my Prima Luna Prologue Premium integrated sounds like a constant 60hz. It is in both channels equally, Its amplitude is not affected by the volume control and muting the amp does not make it go away. Now that sounds like a typical grou... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? atmasphere But its still an AC waveform and so can travel through a transformer. But the output will still be asymmetrical. Is it really DC in the true sense/meaning of the word? Does it build to a DC voltage and then fall to zero at each half of... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? .atmasphere You can have DC on the line and oddly enough, it can be passed through transformers. Please explain. | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? oldschool1, Is this what the inside of the amp looks like? http://www.studio-22.com/anthem/images/Anthem%20MCA%2050%20-%20Inside1.jpg If so notice the two toroidal transformers on each side. Pull the top off the amp and check the center mounting ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? @gdhal,An isolation transformer will not pass DC. | |
| Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important? bcowen 61 posts 03-05-2017 :09am@audiolover718: Did you notice any difference after replacing outlets 1-3, or did you do any before/after comparisons? Not trolling...I’m genuinely interested ... | |
| Quality of outlet not directly powering equipment important? audiolover718, I assume by daisy chained you mean the duplex receptacle device is used as a junction point to wire from one outlet to the next and so on. If that is the case I would advise you to hire an electrician to change out all the cheap re... | |
| Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded GOOD NEWS!!!So I found a proper cheater plug and tried putting it on the tube amp only - buzz completely gone whether the phono pre was on or off. So it appears the amp was to blame and the phono preamp just amplified the problem. The cheater plu... |
