if you shut off cdp, do you still have the thumping when powering down amps? if not the cdp is ok. is the overall sound/performance changed at all? i keep all my gear on at all times, i have a preamp and donte even put that into standby. unless the manufactures specifically reccomends against leaving on, i would...youll enjoy this little tweak as "warm up" time is greatly reduced
Louder Hum from amp and Thump, thump sound spkrs
Hello.
I have a Pass X-350.5 and Wadia 861. Not using a preamp.
Last week had the system on but not playing at the time. There was a brief electric outage and then the CD player was playing.
So I powered down and everything seemed alright.
When powered up my Pass amp was humming a little louder than normal. I played a CD and was OK.
Now when shut off Pass X-350.5 amp there is delayed loud thump sound coming out of each speaker. First a thum sound from the left speaker and then a split second from the right speaker.
Did that little electrical outage damage my amp or CD player?
Why now I am getting a louder than usual HUM coming from amp?
Also, the double thump sound? I tried different cables, new fuses and still results remain the same.
How can I resolve? Any future precautions?
Thank you very much.
Joe
