Cool. I figured it had to be simpler than what i was thinking. I figured you were going from the preamp out from the quinn and then into the power amp in on the BM, just didn't know where the dlator went in

. Sounds great, and thanks for the info!

Is the RG400 cable any special brand?

Nah, just look for MIL-DTL-17 spec'd (make sure the conductor is stranded) coaxial cable like this:

Are those RG400 cables at 270pf per cable or in total

Yes they're 270 pF per side (send & return from D-lator)

Hi
Need some "patch" cables between my Ojai-type of amp and the D-Lator. Using the DLator w long cables or no DLator is a HUGE difference soundwise. I need some new cables since I use some high quality but very long guitar cables at the moment.
I see mention of 270pF total for each cable going to and from the amp. The cables specs are about 80-90pF/meter (30pF/ft). Does this mean your cables each are about 3 meters long?

Both of the cables are 270 pF individualy, not the total of the two.

One way to go is get some George L cable and connectors (Lava also make some). No soldering required and you can cut them to the length you need. I run these between my C-lator and amp which are in the same head cab.

YES, total of 270pF for each cable. Have you measured? RG400 cables is about 80-90pF/meter (30pF/ft). Does this mean your cables are 3 meters (about 10feet) long?

Yes I measured, they're approx.10ft. You have to measure them with a pF meter for them to be accurate although, not just by length.

Oh, I'll go home and see what the cables I use now measure.
I guess the jacks give some capacitance too.

I have just completed the same setup using a G-Sharp from TC Electronic and a C-Lator into an OTS50 - concern about the hiss coming from the G-Sharp, have you experienced same thing?

Thanks

What is your rig in detail?

Are you using a power conditioner with all grounded plugs?

My D-lator does not have a grounded plug BTW.
