Didn’t read all post so if this was mentioned disregard. Did you check the wires coming off the IEC for cold solder joint. Follow that and see where it goes for bad connection.your definitely not getting power to the rails.I doubt it but handling it in winter static could have done something,
How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months?
I’ve got an Inspire pre that I generally use with an Inspire amp. I’ve been using the amp with a Cary pre but decided to put the Inspire in its place .
Installed, plugged in, turned on…and nada. Tried different power cable, different outlet and still nothing. Checked fuse and it’s fine.
Tried wriggling the PC and nothing.
I took the tubes out and will look into it later today but I find it weird that a piece of stereo equipment dies from sitting unused for a few months.
Any idea what could have caused this? Maybe a wire came loose?
Thanks.
