Sorry to butt in on this debate, but if i was to buy a Dac1 could i connect my CD-T80 up to it and what would be the best way? I noticed the balanced outputs which is grande as i have balance inputs on my pwr amp...... also are all units universal 115/240v? Thanks in advance MrB

Hi Will, yeh alls sorted... if not for the pics i would not have seen the fuse imprint on the IEC carrier, bad eyes 'n' all, been listning to the XX album from ministary of sound it was a chrimbo pressy from my youngest..... sounds real good, suprised at the production levels being kept in...

Well thankyou all for your input, if i hadnt taken the pics i would not have seen that fuse holder.....just put it all back together and slipped it in position....pluged in the mains and ....... WE HAVE LIGHT, so now i dont have to cancel the shin dig on Monday night :cheers: hope you all have...

Arrrrrg! FFS just noticed something on the picture that i hadnt seen.....just below the 3 pin input...a fuse sign...DOH! just fliped it out and BINGO....a wee fuseholder with a spare fuse inside....yippee! bonus

Hope this works :) so sorry about the poor pics

NO! mines a power amp not an intergrated

Im pretty sure i saw no fuses inline before the transformer......... but i think i will have another look just incase my eyes are playing tricks....can i post pics on here using my 'Photobucket' link?

I changed the fuse plug end, would there be one amp end? Arrr! cant be that because i tried using the lead from my CDP and it still wouldnt light up.

Nope! the IEC lead is an after market Belden cable........ Think i might take a couple of pics later, and if i can..post them here Plus as i said before.....this was originaly imported from the US, so i dont think the 'Greens' have a say in that lol

I didnt come with a mains lead and on the back it has a sticker saying 220-240v @ 50 Hz, yet inside it says 115v - 200mA

A loan of an amp or an electronics wizard with a shed full of spare parts and a hot iron might do for starters :)

''I wouldn't expect it to work fullstop, never mind 80 hours, if it was designed for 115v use.'' Thats what I thought, but on opening the lid...that is what i saw writen on the top of a small transformer and have presumed this is the reason its gone pop!

As above....... Went to switch me gear on....CDP powered up and all ok, Power amp on and in standby mode..... then went to power the amp into the ON position, I herd a clic and the standby light went out, changed the fuse in the plug to no avail...no power getting through, so i pulled the amp...
