I picked up Leak stereo 60 and point one preamp a while back. I had time to set them up with Dynaco A35s today to check if they are working as well as they should. Even though I used a Variac to power the amp, I set the voltage jumper in Power Transformer to 124.
The power cord goes through the Power amplifier and there is a specialized 8 pin DIN connected which goes to the preamp. Again another power cord draws power from the preamp. Without connecting the preamp I could not switch on the power.
Questions I have:
Can I conver the female connector which goes to the preamp into male and directly plug it into the power outlet. When I trace the cable it connects to the power transformer.
Also Right channel is very weak in the preamp. I tried connecting to the power amp directly from my Iphone and I dont see the problem. I opened the preamp and all the tubes ( Mullard EF86s) looks fine. I did not try to deoxit the connectors. I will check the EF86s today to make sure they are good. Any other area I need to focus on to diagnose the problem.
