I have not done anything in that regard. I live in Western Japan, so at least I'm on 60Hz instead of 50Hz. The back of the units do say 120V 60Hz though, so it could be an issue ...

Recently got stuff set up after moving to Japan almost 3 years ago haha

Got that! Would it cause there to be no sound when there was the last time I used the system? The relay is in the 170DC? EDIT: the lights come on immediately, but no relay click and no sound output. The 2 peak lights light up the split second power is turned on, though.

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Marantz setup and was wondering if I could get help. I have a 3250B and 170DC I'm using. I have the 170DC plugged into the switched outlet on the back of the 3250B at the moment. I know this isn't really the best, but it is my solution until I get a switched...

Hey guys I'm going to be moving to Japan in 2 weeks time. I currently have just under 400 records. I have them in 8 of these crates with the records out of the covers and each record/cover in its own plastic sleeve. I have cardboard on all sides of the insides of the crates, but I'm unsure if...

Haha thanks. It's weird. I had it plugged in almost all day yesterday and at one point it turned on and stayed on for about an hour or so. I had to walk my dog, so I turned it off and when I came back, it fired right up. I left it on for another hour or so. This morning, it's back to its usual...

So I was recently given an Integra DHC-80.3 home theater preamp that won't turn on. The relays on the power supply board will click on and off intermittently. It did power on for about 5 minutes last night before shutting down and reverting to random clicking. Does anyone have any idea on where...

Cool. I had no Idea Hepastat had EDTA. Thanks for the help

The Amazon link says tetrasodium EDTA. Is this not the right stuff? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LVWMFL1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_R5YXCbQ9ADAMD

Everything is in liquid form except for the EDTA. I use what was on the spreadsheet, so: ISO Triton X-100 Hepastat EDTA The mixture sat for a few days and the chunks were still hard as a rock. Not sure what's going wrong

So I've been trying to make the mixture that has been posted here multiple times and I keep getting hard clumps or chunks. Is there a proper order to adding the ingredients and is there anything I'm missing? I'm not sure if it's the EDTA (which I added last) or maybe I heard the Triton can be...

Dire Straits - S/T

I had a similar situation with a stock head unit for my wife's car. The screen on ours went dead and I had taken it apart to inspect. I couldn't figure that one out, so I bought a used OEM one on eBay for $300. That one arrived with a few buttons not working. I messaged the seller - it sounded...

Hmm that sorta worries me. I have cats that specifically step on keyboards, remotes, etc lol in the living room. I wonder how that's gonna work. Mine will probably go through my preamp. Will that alleviate the situation?

Sorry, I meant the wall wart. I have all my components plugged into a Panamax conditioner that's getting tight on space. I think I found a picture online of how big it is. Thanks for your info!
