Two technical questions to the “252 – knowledgeable”
Posted by: uem on 30 October 2003
Hello everyone,
“Acoustical Nirvana is coming nearer everyday….as my new 252 is filling my rooms with heavenly musical pleasures….” – it sounds great, even cold out of the box (actually, the SuperCap was in use for quite a while, but not the head unit, which replaces an 82)
Two technical questions to the “252 – knowledgeable”
Back-ground: I’m using one of these very old remote controls, which has two banks of selectors – one for Preamp and one for Record-, each marked with the appropriate source name, and not just a number. HOWEVER: the socket-sequence is changed on the 252 from the older series, as the input 1 on the remote selects Phono, 2 = CD, etc.
I want these selectors on the remote to be correct, and not necessarily the ones on the 252 front panel – meaning: I’ll have to connect my CDS 2 to input 2, and phono to input 1 via the cinch sockets.
1) On the 252: Are the DIN inputs 1 (CD) and 2 (Tuner) absolutely identical ? (on the older models, there were numerous threads debating the merits of the inputs)
2) Once the cinch configuration has been completed, will it remain so “ for ever”, even after a lengthy power-down period - or do you have to repaet it again after longer "shut-downs" ? (BTW: for this configuration-action I must use the new Narcom 3 RC – the old one can’t do these steps - Also: I do disconnect my whole system for lengthy absences, due to the risk of lighting)
Thanks for your advise
