It is not about me being happy. This is a site for facts and controlled tests, and the science says there is no way what you did would make a difference.ok thanks, I hope you are happy now
A Molex connector like that is usually rated for about 3 amps. On 230volts that would equal about 700 watts of power before things start to melt. Ive hooked up a power consumption meter on the amp. It rarely consumes over 50watts of power.I am attaching the picture of internal components from C399,
what I did on mine is that I have soldered all (power) wires coming from the plug and coming on to supply board...
on the pic marked with circles
why I did it its because they are not making good connection (its maybe ok for the LED lights but not for the amps) especially the one on the supply board...you can check it by removing that white plastic molex and you`ll see that when you put the wire in to connector on the board, its moving easily which is making additional resistance, resulting with less microdetails and boomy bass
After I did this tweak the sound is now very fast and tight with more soundstage and microdetails, it feels like the speakers got more power and grip
hope this will help who ever will try it
That's just nonsense. Here is a 2kW amp with similar connections:I am saying that its sad to see a good amplifier with a poor connection on the power supply side
So what are you saying? It's not a poor connector, however you removed it anyway to improve the connection?I am saying that its sad to see a good amplifier with a poor connection on the power supply side...I am not mentioning any poor connector that is not suitable for this amp
Does it matter? It's a similar Molex connector, that's used in lots of amplifiers. Never has anyone proven that soldering them makes any difference whatsoever.thats not NAD C399
ok thanks for checking... to be more precise on mine they were good enough to not cause any issue but I could move them each with the finger
Please check this video, you will get it better
Starting at 0:10 the first black wire on the video was exactly like on my amp blue/brown wires
Never mind that the solution isn't solderingThose are 12V batteries, lower voltage thus high current. Hence why car jumper cables are so thick.
Yep.Never mind that the solution isn't soldering![]()
