I'd like to ask if anyone using an SoundSticks II has a moment to look at your ac adapter and can tell me its tip polarity and the tip size. Thank you

The Maplin 3 pin power DIN plug assembly (their code: N83KT 1.49) is a replacement adaptor plug. The pin connections are as shown here: http://www.bematech.com/support/downloads/power_connector_and_cable_specifications.pdf

When I got mine it worked great for about 15 minutes. Then out of the blue the right channel quit working. So I tapped on it cranked it wide open and nothing. So I turned it off and waited for a bit, turned it back on and the same thing. So I sent it back. And got stuck with the shipping. I've also got 2 of the PTA1000 and 1 of the PTA1200. They all work great. And they are all basically the same amp. Only the output transfomer is different. Including the 1400. All 3. So I have no idea other than u got bad one too. Sorry

The adapter outputs 6V DC. The tip is positive and the ring (shaft) is negative. I do not have anything to accurately measure the tip size. Radio Shack sells multi-volt adapters with an assortment of tips, one of which will doubtless work. The official Panasonic ac adapter is the EW-2B02. Probably best to bite the bullet and buy the Panny adapter--or use rechargeable batteries.

The photo is wrong. I think they just used a generic photo and didn't think to blur out the polarity as well as the output voltage and current. The polarity of the adapter is actually "negative polarity". The output voltage and current is listed as 8V - 10V; 1A - 2A. This is a pretty big range, and I think it is causing the adapter to work for some people and not work for others. Mine works with my PT-1090.

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers!

Does the Enercell AC charger have a specific tip that you purchased for the Sony headphones? I noticed that the part number you cited is for the adapter/plug, but was wondering about the specific tip you bought with it.Thanks!

i have the same problem... i think the adapter is damage. hope amazon don't refuse to take back or exchange.

Personally, I would not recommend this product. The adapters are made out of the same inferior plastic that the main tip is. Xikar or other similar products have higher quality tip and adapters.

If the tip shown fits your product it will be compatible, you did not show the opposite end, is the ac end for the use in your area? if not you can take it to a reputable electronics establishment and have the end replaced.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

Is that microphone jack stereo or mono? Does it provide "phantom power" to a microphone? &gt;If it does, you probably can't use that jack for any other device. Does the RCA - to - 1/8" adapter have a stereo (3-contact) or mono (2-contact) 1/8" plug? &gt;Some mono ones are made with red and white insulators (or other mixed colours), which makes them APPEAR to be the same as the stereo ones. If any part of the connecting arrangement is "mono", you won't get the "correct" sound from the turntable, and it is possible that you would get no sound. Also, check to see if there is an input-level adjustment (it would be an on-screen control); if there is one and it is set at or near its minimum, little or no signal will get into the "konfuzer". I would prefer that a LINE-level input was provided; but I believe some microphone inputs are set up so that they can be selectively switched to accomodate line-level signals. You may need to consult someone locally who can investigate the settings on your specific laptop. &gt;Line level is about 100 times the voltage of a microphone's output, and it will overdrive a microphone stage. Another possibility is: The signal going into the microphone jack probably can't be passed to the speakers directly. If it was so connected, you would have a defacto "P.A. system", and laptops are not known for having that function. In any event, the correct setting of the AT-PL120's output switch is "LINE", which will apply the necessary RIAA frequency equalization. If all else fails, instead of connecting the turntable to the laptop, use a pair of powered speakers that have their own volume control, a boombox with an auxiliary input, or any normal stereo system until you have the laptop matter figured out.

I have a Visual Sound 1Spot cable, which is similar but has more ma, and I have all kinds of different pedals chained on it. should be fine.Well, correction, as long as the pedal is 9v with a barrel style output tip that is center negative. Most pedals are. The only other area that might get you into trouble is if you chain too many you might under power your pedals but that won't hurt only make them sound different. Jam on.

Thanks for your response Mr. Holder. I did return mine and the replacement unit works great. I'm not sure if I plugged the first one into a separate power source so it may have been my fault it didn't work. I wish it came with clearer instructions. I may have thought it ran off the power of the stereo or zune.

Hello Mr Fraser. I use my soldering station to repair solid state circuitry in music related products. 90% of the board level repairs I do are keyboards, Korg, Roland, Yamaha and others. I have yet to see any noticeable variation in temps aside from having the AC on and being to close to an air diffuser which tends to cool the work tip. different solder alloys can be a pain in the butt let alone a bothersome or quirky soldering station.Buy this one with confidence..Mr Phill.ps: forgot to mention that I used a heat testing device to verify my unit. for stability while active and at rest.
