Like a real fool I unplugged my new umbilical cord I just got from wywires because I was hearing static (I thought it was the new cord) and then plugged it back in with the power supply still on! a few seconds later a loud pop and what looked like a flash, the Oppo still played so I thought I was safe but NO! now I am getting the same pop as the music plays what did I do?
You will likely have to send both the power supply and the Oppo back to Dan. When you unplug the
umbilical
and then re-plug. When the metal contacts make a connection when you plug it in, it will create a spark/short. That spark/inrush can damage something in the Oppo tube circuit as well. So, yeah, never a good idea to disconnect/connect live DC power cords on electronic equipment.
Dan told me not to have the either unit powered up while the umbilicle is not connected. I thought mine was connected but it wasn’t securely connected.
Ok thanks, so it's the PS 9.0 not the oppo? I did take the top off the 9.0 nothing that is visible, that I can see, what's strange is I played four tracks before I heard the pop again, boy what dumb ass I am
I must admit I was getting a volume drop at times of the loud pop, I praying I didn't fry something, the thing is I know better than to do stupid stuff like this
That is what I am doing, I did drop new tubes in just in case so far I played two tracks,it's playing but I am still worried plus I am using the original umbilical cord
