Replacement showed up today ....

This is a factory refurbished unit from Cambridge ....
Wow ...
Literally not a scratch on it ....
I was expecting some minor cosmetic blemishes...especially considering how much it was discounted....

👍

  • Congrats, looks really nice.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Forget about the 851N, can we talk about that gorgeous backsplash?

    So , this thing doesn’t have a 12v trigger out ..
    I’m gonna make one using one of the USB ports ....

    We’ll see if it works ......

    Just tried it .....
    Works perfect !
    The 851 USB ports output power....

    Cut the end off a USB cable , stripped the sheath off ....
    The green and white are data , the red and black are power , black being ground.
    Spliced the usb power wires to a mono 3.5mm jack cable and presto , 851 now has a 12v trigger out !! Snip the green/white wires , wrap rest with electrical tape or whatever to make pretty ...

    Turns the amp on and off !

    It would probably work with anything , TV’s etc , that has a powered USB port ....
