Hi there -
I picked up a Pianet N yesterday.
The good?
- it's cosmetically awesome.
- it has the original tweed hardshell case (1 broken latch..)
- it has the legs and crossbar (though the cross bar is a little bent, but it still works)
- it has those good ken rich replacement sticky pads
I was able to order some new hardware, too. For future reference, the holes on the sides of the Pianet N take a metric M10 1.5 x 30mm Knob. The screws for the cross bar are M4 .7mm x 12mm thumb screws. I haven't figured out what to use to secure the lid that slides in and out, so if anyone knows that one please share!
the less good
- all notes work but the signal out was really, really quiet yesterday. today i'm getting no signal
- the buzz is very, very loud.
- missing pedal and original power cord.
I ordered the preamp upgrade kit from clavinet.com and hope recap/service on the preamp will fix all of my woes, but I also had a few questions.
The back of mine (pictured) looks different from other models I've seen.
Aside from servicing the preamp, I'd love to know if anyone has had similar issues and how they fixed it.
Thank you!
Dan

- It looks like there's a plug for a ground or some sort (⏚)? Thoughts?
- Which out do I use 300mV, 300mV low impedence, or 100mV
- Does anyone know a proper power cord replacement? I'm just using a 2 prong extension cord. Or I could replace with a 3 prong...
