PA50sa and A70

[jamesyao]

Hi Richard,

I received PA50sa and A70 mono power amp. Thanks

I have questions below because I have not set up yet.

1) For PA50sa, which side is minmum volume position, left side or right ?

2) A70 power amp I received can meet 220V or 240v eelectric power from wall socket?

Please advice. Thanks

Unless I made a goof on the wiring it is the same as all volume controls it turns up volume by turning it clockwise, from L to R.

There are two tappings on the transformer 100-120v and 220-240v and your is set to 220-240v.

Thanks for your confirmation.

Hi Richard,

The PA50sa and A70 have been running around 8 hours, they performed more detail and bass compare with my previous system (Onix per amp, power amp system), the 2nd day was performing better than 1st day, but still not reach what I expect. I believe they need more time to run to perform better.

Now I am running 12 years old CD player. Do you know which CD player (brand and model) more suit for NVA amps? If you have this kind of information, please advice.

Regards

James

Thank you sir for your recommendation.

900 pounds cost is over my budget, my budget is less 500 pounds. Do you think DAC will be workable?

Well James, that would depend on what the player is. Just because it's 12 years old doesn't mean it's no good, I had a Tube Technology Fusion which was that age and I haven't heard anything better, (that I could afford). What player do you own now?

Hi Zebbo,

The brand name is Parasound, it USA hifi company, model is CDP1000.
