Powering an 82 with .....1 or 2 Snaps!

Posted by: Bernard Paquet on 12 March 2001

Like many people here, i have done alot of upgrade on my system over the past year. Too many according to my wife. The kit went from Rega Planet / 32.5 - Snaps / Linn Lk 280 to cd 3.5 / 102 - Napsc -Hicap (old style) / Nap 180. Then now Cd 3.5 - Hicap (NS) / Nac 82 -Snaps

(don't laugh) / Nap 250.

After some try, i think the hicap is best on the 3.5. Maybe it's because i'm use to it and the 82 with a Snaps is better than the 102 with a Hicap.

Now i've hit the bottom of my walet, for this year. But i have some spare change (about 200$ usd) so i can:

1. Sell the Snaps and buy a flatcap (not sure it will be better) confused

2. Buy another Snaps to put on the 82 . Nobody ever try 2 dual railed Snaps on a Nac 82?

Thanks

Bernard,

sell the SNAPS and buy a HICAP.
82 better with a single Hicap than 2*Snaps.
IMHO it's easier to find a used Hicap
than a used Snaps and if you do, you will have to recap it and modify for 2 outputs right now, you can find a 5 year old Hi and don't need to recap now.

Or live with it until you can afford a super.
Anyway, you won't get more with a Flat.
You are right with the HiCap on the 3.5.

I do, but I'd rather not. He makes Bernard Landry and Jacques Parizeau seem demure and modest.

We enter a dangerous zone!

Landry is modest compare to Sthephane Dion Met him several time and he is far than modest...never met Landry. Diefenbaker...don't know, i was only one years old!

Ok, let's talk about naim...

"Lets talk about Naim".... Or ice hockey?? How about that Keith Tkachuk (sp?) trade. If Pronger comes back for the play-offs I like the Blues this year. When Oh when will those Habs rediscover the glory days??

Ice hockey?

I'm originaly from Quebec City, so when they sold the Nordique, I stop watching it. And the Avalanche won the Stanley cup the Next it was too frustrating for us...

I moved to Montreal after, and then the Hab begin to play like the old Nordique (remember those days when they finsih in the botom for a couple of year).

Now i'm in the Ottawa region, i was told that we have a team here, but can't name a single player. confused
