One of the phono rca plugs on the back of my pre-amp broke off. Now what? Is there a simple way to repair or replace with some newer technology connectors? Are rca jacks still the standard?
I guess I'm going to have to do some soldering? I could steal one of the tape jacks that I won't be using, I suppose.
Or I could buy a phono-pre-amp and use a different input such as Aux?
I have not used this pre-amp in 20 years. I use it with a Hafler DH-200.
I decided to remove one of the RCA jacks from the tape output and solder it where the lost jack was.
I cannot ever see myself using a tape recorder on this system and even less possible would be recording to tape so I thought that would be a likely candidate. it all seemed to go well.
I guess I'll find out when my record player arrives next week. I guess I need to go out and buy a record or 2.
Well I went to partsexpress and I see lots of jacks but the NAD jacks are strange looking and I didn't see any match. Not that I expected to. I'm not sure how I would get a standard replacement jack to work without quite a bit of effort such as drilling holes, etc. I don't trust myself to start modifying PC boards and the word "chassis" scares me. Maybe I did the best I could given my meger skills. Who knows. Maybe the job I did won't have worked. I guess I will know when I try out the rega p1 with my non-existent collection of LPs.
