Help. Thor owner messes up


So I was enjoying my evening auditioning cords and swapping them out here there and every where. I was careful to turn things off before plugging in the cords. I guess I forgot to turn off the Thor preamp's power supply before plugging. The power supply went dead.

I'm trying not to panic given the lack of Thor support. Does it sound like it could be fatal? Input please. Moral support can't hurt. Thanks in advance.

Unless you know what you are doing do not open up the power supply. It’s very difficult to get inside since there are circuit boards on the top and bottom with the guts of the power supply in the middle. I own two Thor units, a TA1000 pre and TA3000 phono, on my phono stage the nut securing the power cord on the power supply came lose during shipping. I opened up the power supply but could not figure out how to open it up to get at the cord, I called Paul Marks and he stepped me through it. There are a number of screws on the board but only 3 of them release the boards and allow you access inside, the others are securing components to the board, so unless you know exactly which ones to remove I would be very careful. I would check all of the external fuses first, both on the preamp and the power supply first and would also make sure there is a fuse inside the power supply before you try to open it up. Good Luck
