Hi anyone who's reading,

I've got a Pioneer turntable with an AC input plug that's designed to
be plugged into the back of the amp. Unfortunately my Pioneer amp
doesn't have a corresponding mains out socket. Is there any way I can
get an adapter to plug the turntable into the mains? I don't suppose
that a standard 'universal adapter' from Dixons wil do the trick?


Thanks in advance,

Cassidy.

The neatest way would be to simply cut off the existing plug and replace
it with a 13 amp one, fused at 3 amps.

Is this just the old American two-pin plug (flat pins)?. In which case,
all you have to worry about is if the TT is 230V or 115V.

If 230V then just stick a UK mains plug on the cord.

It may just be a low-voltage feed but I doubt it very much. Does the TT
have a label stating the voltage?

Hi,
is this for mains voltage or for a transformer stepped down one from the
Pioneer amp. Is it labelled to say what the voltage required is?

If it is for 240 V ~ then you may find a suitable lead on the Maplin
site.

Do any amps - set for 230 - emit 110 from a utility outlet? It would need
a fair sized transformer to provide this facility which would have little
if any use.

Hi,
I was thinking of more like a low 15V or similar as the transformer on
my turntable outputs.

Ah - right. But I'd assume they don't use a mains connector for this.

It would be unusual to make an amp with a low voltage supply built in for
something like a turntable - it would make that turntable only usable with
that amp.
