Had a VERY ODD event last night while playing Jazz by Ry Cooder.
Track 2 has a LOT of very deep bass and Tuba.
My Ayre EX8 shut down partway through it on current protection.
Tried again, same thing within seconds.
Now my amp has loads of space around it for ventilation.
Put another album on right away no problems again all night.
Repeated the experience a short while ago and same thing.
So, my conclusion is that all that energy on that track being stuffed into the Maggie’s was simply too much for the " only" 100wpc EX8.
Go figure........
P.s..
I was playing at near ear bleed level. Lol. |
The last couple of nights I've been folding clothes to, Getz/Gilberto Album by João Gilberto and Stan Getz. |

@uber is the disc warped also ? Assuming you don’t have a subsonic filter, AND the high LF energy on that track and only 100 wpc might in combination push it into protect...???? |
backhauled some vinyl to the Condo and am rediscovering Feat - Waiting for Columbus on MoFi.....what a gem....certainly a band at TOP of game...
|
thanks all for record rack inputs, we decided to go w Prather 2 bin model in Cherry with galvanized rod. Holds about 300 so should hold me for another year, or so......
my next post may ask for decent divorce attorney.....NOT |
Tomic.
No disc is flat.
I took it round to a friend house to play on his system, he has Ayre amps but " normal" speakers by Spendor.
Track 2 certainly has a LOT of energy but was not shutting his amps down.
The EX8 is a great super integrated but it obviously cannot have the current reserves of say even another comparable 100wpc power amp . just not enough room to squeeze everything under the hood.
I am just chalking it up to the Maggie's which probably dipped down to 80db efficiency and 1 or 2 ohms with all that bass energy.
The poor old EX8 was just outgunned. |
Uber, I understand...there are those pesky limits.... |
Upcoming..........

@tomic601 ,
I hope you have the Bernie Grundman/2 lp set. Worth it!
I think I found mine at Insound @ 60% off. |
Now, the elusive/rare Steely Dan "Two Against Nature" EU/lp |
Now..."Union"
After hearing side one of "Union", I can say the sonics are at least the equal of "NOB", most likely superior. |
@slaw yes on your recommendation I believe I got the two disc three sides TP although not at anything near your discount.... man does this album
rock |
The Beatles - Abbey Road - 50th anniversary issue, the low end is AWESOME
@slaw you have Two Against Nature on LP?? I didn't think there was such a thing. That is a ridiculously great recording and production. Have been hoping they would put it out on vinyl |
