Full Volume Issue


I have had the strangest thing happen to me twice. With my Nu-force P8 preamp in the off position while my cd player and dac are on there is no sound. If I turn on my tv then what is on the cd player comes on at full volume. The first time I turned on the tv and this happened it scared the hell out of me. The preamp didn't have any power to it. How is this happening?

I think your TV is probably creating some kind of a surge when you power it up, possibly causing some circuit in the preamp to go nuts.
Is the preamp off, meaning no power to any of its circuits/components, or is it in stand-by?
You can try this, if you want - unplug the preamp from the wall, wait 5-10 minutes and turn your TV on.
I think if some kind of a circuit in the preamp is faulty, for whatever reason, anything that is hooked up on the same circuit that is capable of some power draw at turn on is going to create the same problem your tv is creating.

Call NewForce and ask explain them the problem and see what they say.

Anyway, good luck and keep us posted.
try unplugging it from the wall, wait 10 minutes and then turn the tv on.....see what it does
