doctorcilantro Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 The specs for the Numark are a little vague but does anyone have an opinion on this? I have a NAD PP2 and I am looking at replacing my DJ mixer and then I could utilize the Balanced XLR output to my M-Audio Balanced input. I emailed Numark asking for RIAA response and whether the SNR was A-Weighted with cart. or w/o. NAD PP2 specs: Input impedance (R and C) 100 ohms + 180pF 47k ohms + 220pF Gain at 1kHz 60dB 35dB Input sensitivity ref. 200mV output 0.2mV 3.5mV Signal/Noise ratio (A weighted, with cartridge) 78dB 80dB (Unweighted, with cartridge) 73dB 70dB Input overload 20Hz/1kHz/20kHz 0.8/9/84mV 10/102/950mV Rated distortion (THD 20Hz - 20kHz) 0.03% 0.03% RIAA response accuracy ±0.3dB ±0.3dB Numark PPD-9000: Phono Input To Master (Booth & Zone) Output SNR A-Weighted: 92db THD: <.01% The THD for Line input to Balanced Output is .007%.

maxg Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 LOL!!! (just following instructions) Cant help on any of this sadly - looks kinda like pro gear and I have never played with any of that stuff. Those pF figures look rather high to me for a standard (not that I know anything) but most of the carts I have played with run at either 50 or 100 - may be a bit limiting on your options...

tkeady Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I am looking at buying a NAD PP2 and wondered what you thought of it. I'll be using it with a Cayin TA30 and Forte II's. I know it is considered enter level but then that's where I'm at. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorcilantro Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Tom, I really haven't even had a chance to use it yet. Waiting for a cable right now as I am out of cables since one is trashed and I am not going to waste my time fixing it since it was crap to begin with. NAD makes great stuff so I purchased it online for 99$ new at Upstate Audio in NY. This mixer intrigues me. I need to get more details on it. I have lots of sources and like to make mixes a lot.

doctorcilantro Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Can someone shed a little light on this topic? The mixer I use now has this spec. for phono input 47ohm: 1.5 mv rms sensitivity @ 1kHz Now the NAD specs for the MM half of the phono stage are 3.5mv sens. My Ortofon X5-MC is a 2mv cart. Here is an attachment of the overview. And here is some stuff from that overview. I could use my SPDIF on my Denon CD1500 finally. I know it doesn't have too much bearing but this listed for about 1K; the Denon model like this goes for 500$. 5{l and analog I/O.

doctorcilantro Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 TKeady, I may be selling my NAD. It's brand new from Upsate Audio in NY with warranty. I may also have for sale some silver RCA cables; Zaolla 1ft rca>rca and also I have same length in rca>1/4". If I do sell the NAD it would be to get my money back ..about 105$ shipped. You could even return it if you didn't like it, or possibly even just try it for while. Although I need to sell a bunch of stuff to buy this mixer....: ) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
