Time to get something different! I think this would do a nice job in fixing your problem...
Amp will not power off
Hey folks,
I have owned a Forte 1A class A 50 wpc SS amp for several years that has been working great until a few days ago.
I have used a Bryston BP26 preamp with it for a while until about a month ago when I bought a hybrid tube preamp (Black Ice Audio F360).
The F360 has been used quite frequently during this month.
A few days ago, a friend brought over a Melos tube preamp. We hooked things up and listened for a few hours.
After listening for the evening, I flipped the power switch on the Forte 1A to the off position but the LED stayed on and the amp did not power down.
Waited a while. Then tried toggling the switch a few times but eventually had to just pull the plug from the power supply.
Anyone experience this? Hope it's nothing serious.
Thanks!
OP, so you want to try a tube preamp?! Okay, here is something for you to "chew" on, so to speak... this Hovland HP-100 is in nice shape it appears; it does not include the phono section though if you need one... It's here: If a used gear scares you off, I don't blame you. I've heard this and it is pretty darn good. This is the Schiit Freya +, and as you can see, it has a tube driver stage in it.
