kdoot Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 @DrSK Sorry for the slow reply. I don’t come around here often any more. I only had a single set of XLRs to begin with, so my first experience of the EC was with one set of XLR and one set of older single-ended, both from Mike. I had to wait a few days to get the second pair of Lenehan XLRs which is what I was describing in my earlier post.

I had a friend who lost his remote during a move - he contacted the dealer or importer (can't remember which one) to organise a replacement - wasn't overly expensive.........

One suggestion. Although you'll need one to learn off. Losing remotes always worries me. I now have mine safe in a drawer after realising, only took a couple of years, my Android phone has an infrared port. Phone has learned my amps, DACs, TVs, home AC, Bluray etc... Every device is now controlled by my phone and is far more reliable than the WiFi control apps, and every device is on the one app. Edited April 18, 2021 by DrSK
hifi123 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Can anyone recommend a service agent in Melbourne for an ECi 2?
SonicArt Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 Hello to all EC owners Looking for an EC4.5 schematic, service documents etc, anyone managed to get hold of schematics for the 4.5?

pishi19 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 Hi All, I have an ECD 1 DAC and are interested if anyone has experience upgrading to the ECD 2 and if they noticed significant differences and if so what differences? Thanks. 1
rick575757 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 EC 4 ½ preamplifier Hi I acquired a EC 4 ½ pre, which has both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs and outputs. I located the owners manual online, but two things are not covered in the manual. (I can’t think why not) The back panel has 4 pairs of RCA sockets: Aux, Rec, +Out and -Out - Aux is obviously an input. - Rec is presumably an output from the days when we all had tape or cassette recorders, to record while listening. +Out: the manual says for unbalanced output to the power amplifier So then what is -Out? I’ve heard it described as a pre with two pairs of RCA inputs -so is this the second set?? The other question is: you’re using the balanced inputs, do you **have to** also use the balanced outputs; and vice versa? Cheers Richard

SonicArt Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Looked through that site few years ago, nothing on the EC4.5.
rick575757 Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 Sorry for the red herring Maybe Electrocompaniet would sell it for a modest price?
SonicArt Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) they won't give out any manuals, only ones out there are leaked from old or ex techs who had the rights to service. they are helpful though, will answer questions and offer suggestions and some basic service specs, just can't get a diagram period.

rockeater Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 Good to see EC Owners thread restored. It was missing for a couple of years. I have all the info on the EC-4.5 you would ever want. Fixed maybe half-a-dozen of them. The output + and - are EC way of providing balanced output on RCAs. You can make special cable with RCAs on one end and XLR on the other. Alternatively, you can have an unbalanced outputs on these. On some other pre-amps of theirs, like EC-4 and EC-3, I they also have balanced in on these + and - RCAs, and I use them to have two balanced inputs. I have both User Manual (available from EC web page) and circuit diagram. Can't post here because .pdf attachments are not possible. 2
kefacurus Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 Hi I have an AW 250r amp that has developed an intermittent fault- namely one channel drops in volume sometimes accompanied by a buzz through that channel. I have checked that it is not a faulty balanced lead. I am in Brisbane- can anyone recommend a repairer in the area?
NicB Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 Hi everyone. I have an ec3 preamp and aw100 DMb. I'm looking at getting a second aw100 DMb. Does anyone know if it's ok to run both power amps from the balanced output on the preamp, using a y splitter? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it does. That's why I just acquired the EC4.7 pre and AW120 DMB. I have the same set up and I agree whole heartedly. Stunningly good sound. If I am not being to familiar, what speakers are you using with them? I have the B & W DM6.

One way to find out... But I seem to recall, that I tried to run a Tannoy sub on RCAs at the same time as having AW-100DMB connected on XLRs and the setup was "not happy" So now, if I want a sub, I run it off Wadia 16 RCA outputs, because Wadia has separate op-amps and buffers on all outputs. If you wan to try if setup with two AW-100DMBs works, you do not have to have a splitter. EC-3 two sets of balanced outputs, one on RCAs and one on XLRs. You just need to make a set of cables from RCAs to XLR for the second amp. Tell me how you go. I use similar setup on inputs. One goes to Wadia 16 and another to Oppo, if I want to listen to SACD or some FLAC files from a HDD. I never power them up at the same time though.
