I got a storage room and she never goes in there, if she know how much money i have spent on amplifiers and stuff i would never hear the end of it.

Re: My zpa 0.3 and 0.5

I dont understand why some people just got to over tighten the bolts, thhe bolts should have a plastic washer between the bolt and plexi. I cant decide if im going to keep this in my ever growing PG colection or if i should sell it, are theyt worth more with caps changed with new cooling paste?. My ...

Re: Repair of an R-link box, need help.

I have tested the ones you told me to again and all are ok the problem is the showing of voltage both to display and led the display turns on and of like a indicator relay on a car so something tells me that it may be a relay causing it.

Re: Repair of an R-link box, need help.

Don't go ordering parts so quick... Let me get this straight...the whole unit is not powering up? In other words your not getting any oscillation in the power supply? Check Q13-16 and their 2.2ohm fuse resistors. The blue arrow is a relay, I doubt that is bad...one way to find out is to have it eng...

I thought I had a copy of the r-link schematic but after digging around I can't find it. It could be as simple as replacing that led. I was trying to break it down to hook it up to a new elite amp and if I remember correctly one or both of the leds in that circuit powered a different portion of the...

Re: Look what i got today ZPA

The way i understand it does not matter if you go up in voltage?, when it comes to Uf its better the higher you go because it removes noize. On my zpa i use the 8200uf and on my zx/ti series i use 5200-6800uf, the main problem for demosta was that like in my country its hard to find a company who se...

Be careful with the "new" but missing box items. I got an sld44 that was "new" without a box and it turned out to give a highly distorted signal. I replaced all caps on it and now works fine. The seller said he bought it and was going to install it but when he started the instal...

Re: Need some help guys

Du you mean the red or the yellow light, the yellow if it is to hot (thermal) protect is if its shorted or to high voltage etc.
I cant help you much here there are far better people on this phorum for that so i just wanted to get clear what light it was.

Re: difference between ti and zx?

I suppose a lot of people will disagree with me about this, but you really don't need more than 4V of input signal on most any amplifier out there. This is a number most modern brands shoot for, and pretty much all vintage amps can take it as well. Going up to 8V or 10V will improve your signal to ...

I tried to find info in the zx400/600ti user manual about how many volt the rca can handle, how much is the maximum voltage on the rca input on the old zx/ti amplifiers?
