| Phono Inputs...what can I use them for? If you are looking to plug stuff like that in, and don't have a tape player, the tape inputs are just the same as the tuner and aux inputs. If I remember correctly, that amp has two tape inputs. Just be careful not to hook your tv up to the tape o... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Yes, the tape out is always live. Completely normal. | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Wow yes, the 70 is not an appropriate amp for the 2s; that is for sure. Although, back in the day, my dealer was running 2+2s off of conrad-johnson MV-50s in mono, which are pretty much the rich man's Stereo 70. It sounded great, but did not play ... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas It's fun to tinker but, if you like the sound, and like the orange drops (mylar caps come in various shades of red/orange all referred to as orange drops) why screw with it? I wouldn't. It is more than possible that you could make it worse.Why not... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas BTW, the Dayton caps only come in the values needed for the coupling caps, not the RIAA caps. | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas No, the 470 is not a shunt on the 2200, the value that was needed is not common, so Joe is just building the 2670pf that he needs for the circuit. The purpose of the mod is two fold. First, the original circuit was +-3db or so, this tightens it to... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Resistors are dirt cheap, most use metal film, but some prefer carbon. There are many Dayton branded caps, but unless you need high values, the only ones that I would use are the tin foil jobs. The Russian K40, not K42, can be purchased direct fro... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Oh, I am sorry, for the caps that define the RIAA time constants you will need small value caps. The caps that I recommended above are large value coupling caps. I wanted polystyrene for these small values and had a heck of a time finding a suitab... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Ralph would be the expert on caps, for sure. I can say that I don't like the sound of orange drops, but there are really nice caps in all price ranges. For $1 to $2 there are the polypropylene and tin foil Daytons from Parts Express, which are sur... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas BTW, here is a link to a simple graphic by Joe Curcio that shows the mod. Again, once modded, this will only be flat into a 100K volume control:http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=dynaco&n=14226&highlight=RIAA&r=Finally, as Ralph... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas I would, and have, gone with a 100K pot. The problem being, if you use the phono stage, you will have to replace several of the caps and resistors on the board with different values to return the RIAA curve to being flat. This is not a bad idea, a... | |
| Dynaco PAS 2 value and difference to PAS 3? Just to chime in, if you disconnect the light bulb that serves as a pilot lamp, you will take a lot of current draw off of the power transformer, which is operating pretty hard as it is. Just remove it from the socket. If having no indicator bothe... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas I used this board and am quite happy with the outcome, if you prefer there is an option to delete the tube rectifier and use diodes (I did not do this). There is also film bypass caps:http://store.triodestore.com/sdslacabofor1.htmlI imagine that a... | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Great job! I hope that you are enjoying it. I installed the SDS power supply board in my PAS and it made a world of difference for the better. I just used cheap mylars as the bypass caps on the power supply, I may switch them out for something mor... |
