What constitutes a standard set of Superline Plugs?

Posted by: Steve O on 02 November 2017

Don't worry guys it's not another loading question.

Can any of you lovely lot tell me what plugs would have come with my Superline?

I have one with the value label missing and wondered what it's value was. I thought if I email customer support and get a list of the plugs that would have come with my Superline I could find out the value of said plug by elimination. So I emailed customer support and Steven Hopkins replied with a list of plug values that only vaguely resembled my set of plugs. I queried the difference by reply and was advised to raise the matter with my dealer, which I'll do in due course, even though I am disappointed with that response.

In the meantime it would be interesting to see what value plugs you guys have.

I'm currently using a 453 ohm Airplug type I purchased separately, the other plugs which came with my Superline are: 

100 ohm, 220 ohm & 500 ohm for Resistance

1nF, 5.6nF and 10nF for capacitance

plus the one that has no label which could be resistance or capacitance.

 

Steven Hopkins advises me I should have had:

100 ohm, 500 ohm, 1K ohm & 10K ohm for Resistance

1nF, 2nF, 6nF & 10nF for Capacitance.

 

What came with yours?

The one with no label is a 1KΩ resistance plug, the label's fallen off. With no plug fitted the resistance loading is 10kΩ.

Deja vu...

Superline Loading Plugs

I've removed the housing of the "mystery" loading plug to inspect the contents and it's a resistive plug.

It contains 2 resistors of the same value with 6 bands and starting at the end nearest the pins they are as follows: 

Yellow - Green - Orange - Black - Brown -  Red 

I used a resistor calculator I found online and this gave me a value of 453 ohms (210K ohm if you read the bands from the other end).

Are these two resistors in parallel or in series or, as I suspect, is it one resistor per channel?
