Topic: V3 clicks and pops

[dmonterisi]

i bet you the power connector in the v3 is having issues.  i remembered hearing about this problem and after some digging found it.  the split pin inside the v3 power port most likely needs to be separated just a touch.  the v3 loses dc power and the deck actually goes into pause when it loses the digital signal.  thus there's no gap, just missing music.

it took some digging to find, but check out this discussion from the sonicsense board here

POWER ISSUE!!!
[snip]
I was playing a tape through my system and recording with my mics and V3 on battery power > tas cdrw burner .

The chair legs hit the power cable, and caused a blackout of my system for a second!!

Was it the V3 or the Tascam power cable?

It was a power cable to my ac conditioner, which feeds the whole damn rack!

   Sheesh...I'd think they'd want to use a quality terminator for an AC conditioner.  'Course, I'd be wrong.  Good luck, Moke...let us know what you work out.

Good quality cable, and components. Stupid engineered plastic termination cracked, and the cable wants to come out of the conditioner.
So, gaffed it in place for right now, and am looking for replacement parts.

i thought you had issues running the v3 in the field.  this sounds like a home rack problem.

good thing it wasn't a mme, Moke, or your whole f****ing house would have gone up.
