PC5002M - The Beast - The Story begins

PM Sent. Thanks Chris!

Have not started the debug yet. I have a 9090DB on the bench that has a little bit more work on the bias circuit to be done. This weekend I will reinforce my workbench to take the load from the 5002M and get going.

OK, Turntable done.

What you really need is one of these ...

PS ... I think you'll like the turntable. Mine is a heavy duty from the wood shop, and I have a couple extra trays with handles so I can shuffle projects around as needed.

OK friends....

Input terminals have a +/-/gnd. Normally I would use the +/gnd for the input signal but the input buffer board shows a buffer stage on both the + and -. Anybody got one of these and a little wisdom on how best to apply an input signal?

Actually, you're going from RCA to XLR so:

RCA pin > XLR 2 (or + terminal)
RCA shell > XLR 3 (or - terminal)

Then connect XLR 1 (or ground terminal) to the cable shield at the amp end.

I use prebuilt XLR (amp) to RCA (preamp) interconnects. They work perfectly fine.
 
That's good.

My recommendation (actually Rane's recommendation) stands.

Scroll down to the table and note the differences between XLR > RCA (figures 4 & 6, balanced output to unbalanced input) and RCA > XLR (figure 17, unbalanced output to balanced input).

There are often many ways to make things work, but amongst the many is usually one better way.
 
A day I don't learn something sucks. Today was a great day!

Learning some more... Bought an Aphex 124A today. Never knew that there was a difference between "consumer" and "professional" gear.

Reviving this thread. Ran out of time to complete this project. Took it to my good friends at TAP electronics in Buena Park. Will let you know how it turned out.
