Seeburg Library Unit and AP1 outputs

Hi All,

Thanks to Ron, I have my AP1 about ready to go. I am moving the furniture in the study to get both the Library unit and the AP1 in place .

My question is...

I have a NAD 1130 Pre-amp that runs to my NAD 2200 main amp. The 2200 has no volume control, it is just a big amp. There are several inputs on the 1130. One is called cd, the other are tape in. The original NAD literature states the following:

Line level inputs
Input impedance (R and C) 20k½ / 450pF
Input sensitivity ref. 0.5V 80mV
Maximum input signal >10V
Signal/Noise ratio (A-weighted ref 0.5V) 98dB
Frequency response ±0.2dB
THD 0.01%

I am assuming this is for all the inputs except the phono-in as that is listed separately. on the sheet. The Library unit has base, treble, and a volume control on the pre-amp in the unit. The AP1 just has the pre-amp and no controls for tone/volume. The AP1 says its output is 250MV equalized output.

Does anyone think that using the tape (line level inputs) on the 1130 for hooking up the Seeburg Library Unit or the AP1 should present any issues?

James, no problems. Should be fine. One question; has the pre in the Seeburg unit been rebuilt?

FWIW: If that were my unit, I'd consider a modern preamp. Seeburg pre's were never that great.

Hi Rob,

Both the Library Unit and the AP1 both of stock pre-amps. On the library unit it is mono so I was not to concerned about it. On the AP1 however, that may not be a bad idea.
