Pauly

or know where to get a single one?

Jumpers? are you talking about the metal "U" shaped things that tie the preamp out to the main in? If you are, just use an interconnect.

Pauly

yeah thats it. the meal "u" would there be any "performance" issues? still would like to get one if i could.

Thanks

Yep, use a (short) interconnect. Or pay more and use something like this:

Performance issues? Some replace the jumpers with interconnects to improve the performance.

Pauly

So good ol Rat Shak IC's will do fine then.?

RuSsMaN

Yeppers.

At least as good as the section of coat-hanger wire that was in there prior.

Cheers,

I don't doubt that you need jumpers or an interconnect between the amp and preamp sections of THAT integrated amp or receiver. There are quite a few receivers out there that have pre-out/main-in RCA jacks that DO NOT need to be connected for the equipment to work properly. They are INTERNALLY jumpered, and those RCA jacks are only there to insert external processors into the system. Two that immediately come to mind are the Marantz 2238B receiver, and the Pioneer SA-9500 integrated amp.

Regarding the use of either jumpers or interconnects, I think I'd rather have a nice thick chunk of metal between the two stages (a "U" jumper), rather than a piece of 24 gauge interconnect cable. Plus it looks a shitload better.

That was one of my concerns of looking better its a HK avr20 i beleive and the owner said they are needed since i wont be adding a seperate amp at this time. it will be used as my 2ch in the office. is there anywhere i can get one of those. i didnt find any at ratshak.com

My mom has the same HK I believe for her 2ch rig. I'm going by there tomorrow, I'll pull the jumpers, if she still has the internal amps working, I'll send em to ya.

Steal your Mom's jumpers? What a rat ****.

Those things do NOT come in a standard size amigos. I have had plenty of amps that one set of jumpers did not insert into. The spacing is different. Oops, you said the same amp. You did say the same amp didn't you? Did you? Eat me. I want those speakers. If you don't send me those speakers your Mom's going to find out your messing with her jumpers. Plus there's other **** I'm going to tell her. Even some stuff that I'm going to concoct just for the occasion. Don't mess with me on this, it's not worth the paltry sum you paid for those (I would've got the guy down to $30 with my military discount). If you were good you would've done that.

Hell, let me lay out the scenario for you.

This lady (friend of the family) is selling TONS of stuff.

A. Women are emotional beings PERIOD. (no pun intended)

2. She just got divorced. (and I noticed SHE had all the gear, take that under advisement fellas).

D. She's at that menopause age, see note A and take it to the tenth power.

7. Just laid off from work.

7a. Lost her house, moving to an apartment.

She would have given me ALL the gear for free or whatever price I deemed worthy.. Pioneer Elite cd/ surround rec / stereo rec / tape deck. Pair of Paradigm Phantoms, matching AR center, sub, and some AR Edge surrounds. I told her first of all what everything was, and low and high end of what she should expect to get for it. I could have had it all, I could have probably gotten the 310's for nothing, or next to it.

After all that, I had to throw her SOME sort of a bone. I actually told her to keep the p-dimes and the stereo rec, and I'd hook it up for her after her move was done. The woman can hardly speak without crying, I told her she NEEDED some music around, it's important.

Just fyi on the situation, it gave me the willies to see someone so distressed.

That being said, the 310's are yours, caveat - you gotta get drunk with me and pick them up in person. Fair nuff?

Cheers,
Russ

Only if my old buds back in Brooklyn never find out I was drinking with a tinhorn. Think you can keep a secret?

You'd be surprised how fast I could've packed ALL that stuff into one of The Sharks, WHILE she was sobbing. Then I would've convinced her it was hard work taking all that stuff off her hands and that she owed me a few U.S. dollars for the labor. After the cash was safely in my wallet, THEN I would've thrown her a bone okay.

So you share a bottle with a tenderfoot, true or not, no one will ever believe it anyway.

On another note, looks like I've got a lady to visit and take advantage of tomorrow. Thanks for setting me straight, what the F was I thinking? Gear is GEAR. I'll give her $50 for the rest of speakers, eff the Pioneer gear - I wouldn't wish that on anyone, much less myself.
