So I just picked up a model 1 non-TMSS Genesis. (Don't really care about the TMSS stuff, just the better sound).
Like always, I get super jacked for something and it never works right away. Such is life. But here's the story:
I hook it up with a garbage SNES/Genesis 1 ac adapter. Horrible buzzing though backside audio and the same except with pops and hisses though the headphone jack.
So I look into it, cheap power adapters are a known culprit. The adapter I have is 350 milliamp. It should be 1200. Bah!!! Okay, late night Walmart trip.
I find a universal that puts out 1300 milliamps. Should be good, right? Well, kinda. The audio out the backside seems fine now. No more buzzing/humming, and the same for the headphone jack except the jack still produces the clicks and pops.
Now the best option is the original 1602 ac adapter and I'm trying to find one locally, but no luck this morning. I'll probably get one online regardless.
But here's my actual question: If the universal one I got from Walmart puts out 1300, shouldn't that work okay? Or is it the fact that regardless of output, inferior build materials could keep me from getting the best quality. I'm not enough of an electronics guy to know the answer.
I'm just trying to rule out everything before sending the system back. Since I got it for the best quality audio in stereo, that headphone jack is pretty paramount.
Thanks guys!
