Yamaha T-2 tuner: Loud pop when turned on and when turned off

[petehall347]

snubbers should be cheaper than switches ..

Definitely easier to find. I've found sources for new CA-1010 and C-2 & C-2a power switches from Mouser. Don't have first hand knowledge of the T-2 switch.

 

[Mr. Yamaha]

Thanks for the tip! When not plugged, turned on, then plug in the socket -> doesn't pop. Plug out -> no pop. So it should be the power switch then?

Then I could upgrade this unit with a Triac solution, like I did in the B-2.

I hope my posts are not perceived as this. They are based on technically sound information.

He was referring to me, because I accused him a couple times of too much blablabla and too little helpful info.

But this time he had a proper pragmatic tip

Please do share I am still looking for a switch like for my CT-600, which I cannibalized for the B-2.

I think so , yes

I was refering to the Quencharc resistor/capacitor switch snubber component. .
Need a switch for your tuner ? Find a parts unit is my best answer at the moment.Or maybe clinic audio can save the day.

Both, Patrice and Dave have done this for decades....full time, not like most of us weekend warriors. I tend to take their suggestions serious.

I am really happy you resolved the T-2 problem. It supposed to be a mighty fine tunner.

while FM stations in the US turned to crap, I was eyeballing one of these:

The horder in me has itchy fingers (especially for the black unit since it matches my other Darth Vader black Yammie gear); the rational side says that I will probably gain nothing but braging rights and would listen to it no more than a couple of times in my life.
I know, in Netherlands / EU, you have better stations ...still, how many times do you find yourself listning to FM in a month's period?

Cheers

Those snubber / resistor combo's are mostly only used in US models. In European models it's mostly a seperate resistor and and a separate snubber:



I think I'll go for the Triac switch, in that way I can recycle the power switch.

I always take Dave's suggestions serious, no doubt about that

The CT-7000 should be a bit better than the T-2, but that price is too high. In Europe they go for 500 euro's.

Problem is solved with a recap and a Triac switch: http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/yamaha-t-2-mini-overhaul.787931/
