About a week after installing a new INNUOS Pulse, Somehow, my phone jumped to a Public Xfinity Wi-Fi. I was going crazy for an hour trying to figure it out, calling all kinds of people. They say the majority of warranties are very early in the product life. Was definitely future tripping about all of the rigmarole I was going to have to go through to get it fixed. Fortunately, I am finding that these things are tanks and really hard to mess up. So that fear is gone and now all is well.
What is your scariest moment in High End audio?
After upgrading my digital front end, with another glass of wine in hand, I thought perhaps the analog setup deserved an upgrade from the entry level Kpetsu.
I then discovered that Koetsu was over! A search found a source for a Rosewood Signature Platinum, which I duly purchased and installed, together with a 3 gm weight in the JMW Memorial arm. That went OK, and I set it up using the VPI Scoutmaster jig, set the tracking weight to 1.9 gms, aligned the azimuth and made sure that the Sutherland Duo was set to 100 ohms and 64dB gain.
I settled down to a glorious hour or two of listening. Then I thought "Did I get the downforce right. Checked it & spot on.
i put another record on, lowered the arm to the record. SILENCE (I could actually here the stylus in the groove but that was it.)
OMG. Yes the cables were in. Yes the pre was set to input from the deck. Had I destroyed a $6,700 inadvertently?
After 5 minutes of panic I turned off everything and restarted. All OK. Who knew that a pre-amp could need rebooting?
