Hi Fi is dead

[1964meb]

Well, actually mine is!

Hello knowledgable types in fishy land

I currently have

No out put from lp

Only v Quiet spitty noises from line in MBP / jk32 DAC. You can tell there is music but only just

One channel failed first then both

Not sure if the problem is my RSL modded Naim nac 72 ( serviced a couple / few years ago. Or if the problem is my nap 250 CB also serviced a couple / few years ago (by a well respected and well known company known to most of us here)

I have switched off, disconnected and re-connected everything but no improvement .

Can't help thinking this is going to cost

Any thoughts or helpful advice is welcome

Regards

Mike

Have you reseated the RSL cards or tried the original Naim cards? that's if you still have them in your possession.

Maybe good idea to list you complete vinyl chain. Don't understand the DAC bit as I'm used to phono stages for vinyl. First place (?) to look is the cart., I s'pose, but if you can't either swap cart's or plug the phono lead into another stage, it's tricky to eliminate. Bit unusual for amplification stages to go down on two separate channels.

Are all the lights on? The problem could be with the power supply (HiCap) rather than the 72 or the 250.

Yes , hi fi really is dead

Yes, it jumped the shark and started to refer to itself as "high end". I guess "deep end" would be more appropriate.

Hi CB

Thanks for the suggestion

I have reseated the RSL cards

I'll have a look around to see if I still have the old naim cards

Mine isn’t dead, you can come and listen to mine if you bring beer!

Thanks for your helpful comments

Replacing the RSL cards for the old naim cards has made no difference. This implies it's not the pre amp.

The " hi cap" is an Avondale ps. Nothing looks burned out or leaking inside that.

The vinyl chain is dv20 low output MC, Roxane Nima, lp 12 herculese moss ps,

All the lights are on Normal.

I shall have a look inside the 250 to look for burned out bits or bad smells

i have removed the uptone regan from the digital chain. No change

Please keep making helpful suggestions .
Regards again

Any other sources to try?.

 

[CB4]

Test the cables connecting the 250 to the HiCap, or try substituting it with another cable.

Yeeeehaaah!

Everything taken out, put back together and now working normally. RSL boards working.

What TF????? Why did that happen?

Music restored. Panic about inevitable big fat bill over.

And relax ............ Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Thanks for all the help.

Let the music play...

Bit worrying though, not identifying the cause. Any ideas, now you've reconnected everything?

 

[Rosewind]

Bad connection? Great that you got it to work again!

 

[1964meb]

No idea why that all happened

All sounding tip top again.

I guess it is all old stuff and there are a lot of links in the chains

There's your problem; try interconnect cables instead.
