will auto signal sense ON also turn on the 12v trigger?

[mike c]

say I have a parasound amp set to auto signal sense on ... will an amp connected to its 12v trigger out be turned on too?

[mikepinkerton]

just FYI, i've never gotten the auto-signal trigger to work on my A51. I had to go with turning it on via a 12v trigger on my pre/pro. I think most people around here would agree that the auto sensing is....problematic at best.

I've had my A21 and A51 hooked up to my C1 via 12v trigger for years now, from the beginning. Works great, never had a problem.

mike c, are you wanting to hook up an amp to a Parasound PRE-AMP, or PROCESSOR? Or daisy chain two amps together so turning on one also turns on the other?

Also, mike c, I assume you're in Manilla, Philippines? Did I mention that I was born there, at Clark Air Base?

chris, yes manila, Philippines. how long were you here?

its actually, receiver to parasound amp (I was hoping using signal sense) then 12v trigger to another amp

oh, and also, I know this isnt the proper thread but it seems kinda a waste of a new thread:

with the parasound amp ratings, it would seem that the THD ratings are quoted on a second breath (not like other brands which quote max wattage and THD in one breath)

they only say "this is the THD at Full rated output" I know this sentence means at max wattage but, I feel its a bit dodgy. anyway, my question is, since the comparable parasounds are cheaper than rotels over here ... do parasounds perform in the real world at par of better than their quoted wattage levels?

(the 2125 400w bridged mono looks mighty impressive to me )

thanks mike!

mike, my parents were there in the Philippines for about 3 years, and I was born about halfway through that. I haven't been back yet, but it's definitely on my list of places to go.

[mike c]

oh I see, was just checking if you spoke the local language

If you like beaches, Boracay is a good place to start.

what do you think about this chris:

The local language? From back in the PI?

Umm... as far as your question, I have no data about actual wattage vs. ratings, but I've never known Parasound to underestimate nor eggagerate their specifications. I think you can take them as being very reliable. (at all output levels)

thanks chris ... that helps a lot in choosing amps

Mike,

I'm a Filipino living in Marin County now. Lived in White Plains before moving here. Glad to know there are Rotel lovers there as well. Make sure you get a outstanding surge device to protect your toys. Merry Christmas!

thanks armond, I have one for every piece of equipment I have
