| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest I use granite 17x13x1.25 and 17x17x1.25 under every component. I also have a 2 piece under TT and 1 for the motor and 1 for the plinth then spiked them to the rack shelves. I also use spray glue and aluminum foil on the bottom of each component th... | |
| OPPO repair Every time I upgraded, it only cost me 200 after selling the older 1 twice. Great players. Wish they'd come back with the new ESS Sabor DAC's, a better clock and more streaming options. | |
| OPPO repair I forgot about the composite out; I'll remember that if it happens again. It will occasionally lock up and have to unplug for 10 seconds and plug it back in to unstick it. Other than that, it's been fantastic. Thanks again everyone. | |
| OPPO repair THANK YOU!!! I used hdmi 2 and got a faded screen menu popping in and out and did a factory reset and Ta! Da!. Thanks again, thought I was screwed. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I've had really good systems and when times were tough, a boom box. The best system I had back in the 70's was a Setton preamp and power amp PS5500 with built in fader mixer & BS5500, a dual mono block, with LR power switches. A pair of ESS AM... | |
| Ground Loop? The potentiometer knob is plastic but with the spade or actually a U clip lug tucked up between and under it, and it kind of wraps around the metal post of the knob. So, what I’m doing is grounding the potentiometers metal post. It’s been to servi... | |
| Ground Loop? I don’t understand why that works either, but I took a 4" piece of wire attached 2 spade lugs, 1 slid tight behind the loading potentiometer located on the back of the unit and connected the other end to the phono ground lug and the noise slowly d... | |
| Ground Loop? I kind of fixed it, no help from Parasound, but if I take a small piece of wire with a spade lug and slide it under the pot and connect it to the ground it goes away. I've never heard of such a thing it's not a hum but a chattering noise with stat... | |
| Ground Loop? Thanks everyone for the input. I have a friend that used to be licensed but now retired to give it a go over. I'll post this Sunday if that device worked and if my friend has time to take a look at it. | |
| Ground Loop? One of my friends is a retired electrician and I'm going to get him to give the A/C line a go over. I also ordered a ground loop eliminator from Amazon a Btuty Buzz, if it doesn't work, I'll send it back. | |
| Ground Loop? I want to thank everyone for their input. It’s not 20 gauge now that I think more about it, it was done 12 years ago and the 10 gage sounds more familiar. The wire was made for this application. I had an electrician install the wire, breakers and ... | |
| Ground Loop? Thanks for the info. When the outlets were installed, I used in wall 20 gage AQ power wires. I've lifted the ground on both and individually with adapters. I even had the 350P or the JC3 Jr hooked up to a regular outlet, 2 completely different lin... | |
| Ground Loop? I have 2 pr. of Cryo-treated watt gate receptacles wired direct to fuse box. It never had this problem before it just kind of creeped in slowly and it can be heard in segways and quiet portions of the music. | |
| Ground Loop? I tried with only the 2 pieces hooked up, nothing else just the Moon 350P preamp and the JC3 Jr phono preamp plugged directly into the dedicated 20 A line. Using 4 different pair of balanced or unbalanced connectors makes no difference. I hated do... | |
| Ground Loop? Thanks, I'll give that a try in the AM 9 930 I'll give that a try in the AM tomorrow I got to get some sleep I was up with it all night trying to fix this till around 430 am EST. and iy's 1030 now. |
