I have a MD102 and have the same thing happening. Power off to the tuner, but the tuner input on in the pre signal path. I thought that I heard Dire Straits coming out of the speakers! So I'm not crazy after all.
Low level Tuner Signal Bleed Through?
OK Guys, need some help with some strange happenings. I'm using a MD102 Dynalab with the ST-2 antenna (Exterior mounted) through a Pass X1 via Tara "The One" balanced cables and Floating Ground station.
When the Tuner power is switched to the off position, I still get a low level signal coming across my system, if the pre's input's are set to the tuner. It's not evident, unless I turn the gain up about 20db, but it's quite clear at that point and brings in whatever station I'm tuned in to.
Also puzzling and perhaps unrelated, switching the MD102's Antenna switch from "Ant. #1" to "Ant. #2" does not effect the signal very much at all whether power is on or off.
Now... I was also hit by multiple power outages and "brownouts" about a week ago and my pre is always on. I honestly don't know if I had the tuner phenomenom before that, but I'm also wondering if I fried something. I should note that no lighting was involved so I know my antenna was not hit.
Do I have a tuner or pre-problem? Or is something else at work here? (Maybe the floating ground on my cable, or lack of shielding somewhere?
Heeeeelp. (Especially if you have a MD102, X1, or both.)
