SOURCE: Audio Amplifier JVC Model A-GX3

If the service manual is not available on the JVC websites then you should just Google search "JVC A-GX3 service manual" There are many websites that archive manuals. You'll probably have to pay for a copy. Why can't you disassemble the unit and see the output transistor numbers first? More importantly how do you know this is the fault?

SOURCE: Using a tube pre amp with my CA Azur 640A?

There are many answers to your questions but Ill have a go with the basics...
Audio connections should be matched.... its called Frequency impedance,.... to get a signal along wires or cables (or Fibre) the Impedance of the cables and wires must be matched to the device they are connected to transfer the signal along the cables without distortion...

Manufacturers provide many sockets on the input side of amplifiers and preamplifiers to allow the consumer to connect various devices of different impedance.

They label these inputs like CD, or Tuner, or PHONO etc etc,

That means if you have a CD player it must be plugged into the CD input socket then the impedance will be correct and the sound will transfer along the CD cables correctly, without distortion..same with the Phono input etc...
You will find on the sound output to the speakers terminals are also labelled 4-6ohm, or 8-10ohm, these are the impedance expected for the coil ratings of the speakers them selves and its important to get the correct speakers to the correct out put terminals...

In your case all you have to do is follow these simple rules and all will be well....you say you have a squeeze box well there probably isnt a port labelled squeeze box so you need to experiment and try out each input port for the squeeze box to see what input gives you the correct sound output...Watch the Phono inputs as these are very sensative to input sound levels and must be treated very carefully as they have a double stage of sound amplification and as such you need to have the volume right down when connecting up the Phono inputs then increase the volume carefully after the cable connections are completed.

If you follow these rules then all will be well,,,,there is no difference if the Pre amp or Power amp is valve or transistor or FET or has IC outputs to the speaker the same impedance rules apply..just treat it as a box with input and output terminals and all the impedance will be taken care of for you...if you read the lables...

You need to connect you signal source to the Preamp inputs the out put from the Preamp connects to the power amp input then the power amp output goes to the speakers. this is a basic configuration for sound systems, there are other variations but are outside this discussion.

SOURCE: SA3 amplifier to move to Europe : capability of the transformer ?

While living in the States I purchased a Bose Acoustimass 10 system but have now moved back to the UAE. As the system operates on 115 volts ONLY I would like to get it work on 240V without having to use a step-down transformer. By changing out the transformer form 115v to 240v will it work or will I have to change any other components within the system. Can anyone help me??

SOURCE: No audio output or output voltage on 70v terminal

it sounds like you have a power supply problem
try and check for a blown diode inside close or
around the transformer.
maybe this will help.

My Cambridge audio A5 amp has no power why?

The most common causes are in order a blown fuse, perhaps caused by a faulty output stage. Transformer faults. Other power supply faults. Have a look inside you might seen the part that has gone!

A standard transformer would work just be sure the power rating is equal to or higher the voltage should stay about the same.

HI, Can the Cambridge Audio 640a integrated amp be used as a preamp if I buy a separate power amp.

Of course, just run an audio RCA pair out from the Pre Out to your next amp and any input. All control for volume, tone, etc will remain with the 640A.

How to activate 70v line of crest audio cki 800v

First of all the 70 volt line is used when we are dragging long lengths of speaker wires. hence to counter the drop we use a high voltage line brring it further down without any remarkable drop and use a step down matching transformer to power the speaker according to the impedance of the speaker to the secondary of the transformer. Connect the 70 volt to the 70 volt output in the amplifier. Now connect the other end of the wires tto the primary of the 70 volt transformer. Use the secondary output to connect to the speaker using the tap most suitable..2, 4,6,8 ohms . Check the phasing when you connect or reverse if the bass quality is less.
Hope this helps. Good day

Low volume through amplifier

Turntables generate a very low signal. Phono inputs on receivers containa pre-amp section to boost the signal to "line level" or the same level as other audio devices. I would suspect that you need to add that pre-amp section. Phono preamps are available for around $20 or so and are inserted between the turntable and the standard audio input on the receiver or amp.

Hope this helps,
Dan

I need a psu for a Cambridge Audio Azur 540P phono preamp

any stepdown transformer rated 12V secondary with at least 0.5A rating would do (12V, 500mAmp). I know they said to use only the supplied power unit but hey that's business! but make sure whether your mains supply is 110Vac or 220Vac.

What are the secondary voltages off the transformer supposed to be?

The secondary voltages of a transformer are stepped down voltages. For example a transformer might be stepping 120 volts AC down to 25 volts AC in the secondary. Which then would be rectified by a bridge rectifier in the power supply and converted to DC Voltage which would be used to bias transistors or tubes and other electronic components. The amount of voltage that is output for use is determined and calculated by the engineers designing the amplifier or pre-amp.

Left output ports for both left and right channels do not work

Hi, first thing to do is to check the power supply look for a larger capacitor & using voltmeter measure both sides from ground to positive & ground to negative. Next check the speaker protection circuit if active. If not active measure the voltage from ground to the speaker output before the relay of speaker protection device. The voltage should be zero or close to zero volt. If more then the power transistor or power IC is toasted.

Failed power transformer

With out make and model, I can not supply parts information. Please update this with that info. Also, depending upon the age of the unit, parts may not be available. Are you sure that the problem is the transformer? This part is rare to fail.
