Got to mention the OG. Lugz in Randburg not bad

Johnny’s Chip-Inn Ranch in Durban - THE ground zero for legendary bunnies and rotis

Its always cheaper to buy than to rent. Gosolr medium is R1580 p/m, exact same system offered including installation, for R100 000. The parts can purchased for ~R80 000. Better to work out how much that would cost you in interest if added to your home loan first.

I had the same issue with a 12V LiFePO replacement on my gate motor. Problem was the battery contacts not making good contact. A lot of these LiFePO replacement batteries have different sized tabs from ‘normal’ batteries, jam them on real tight or use pliers to ensure tight contact

Well shout if you want the board

Aha! Take a gander in your amp and see how feasible/easy it would be to run some wires from the on/off switch and if you think you can do it, I have a tiny PCB I can send you to add the relay and connect the wires

The 12V triggers usually just power a relay that parallels the on/off switch - if your 12V is just cutting the mains then yes not a good thing to do.

Do you get a pop if the power amp inputs are disconnected?

The thing is it is not the amp itself buzzing - it is only when you connect another device to it that it begins buzzing, so I am guessing it is some sort of earth issue BUT the amp is made of wood and has no earth! Try using a 3 wire mains cable and connect earth to an RCA input.

Can you post a pic of the amp from above and how is the system connected up?

Try just one channel connected

Does it hum without the DAC connected?

The sub amp should be grounded by the XLR cold to ground connection on the crossover. Does the amp hum with only one channel (RCA) connected?

Switch on and off thumps aren’t necessarily faults - always power up a system starting a source and power down the opposite way. So switch on (say) CD player, then DAC, then preamp, then crossover, then power amp, then sub woofers. To switch off reverse the order.

Cheapest credit you will ever get is your home loan.

Use twin core shielded cable: RCA positive to XLR pin 2 RCA negative to XLR pin 3 shield to XLR pin 1 - don’t connect the shield to the RCA. Don’t use this cable the other way round: XLR out to RCA input.

Well thats aligned the physics: higher resistance for an MM will create a treble extension and that is what you are hearing. MCs don’t have frequency altering components in the audible range - they exhibit pure resistance within those frequencies - so user preference prevails. If you are using a...

68k is a higher resistance than 47k :) For MM cartridges increasing the load resistance will increase the treble - very few preamps offer this feature as 47k is a standard for MM cartridges. MM cartridges have quite a bit of inductance and this forms a filter with the input resistance that rolls...

You’re using an MC so you needn’t worry about capacitance settings (switches 3&4). Resistance settings (switches 1&2) will change the ‘tone’ - adjust to your liking - higher resistance may sound brighter or more dynamic. Gain settings just control loudness start at low setting and if you are...

The device you reference is a speaker not line level device so would easily integrate into your system, but it is not an equaliser. It shouldn’t mess with your sound as the device just ‘measures’ the output. If you like the looks go for it - but it will not be accurate
