Audible Illusions M3A preamp just stopped outputting any signal

A total lack of output without anything seeming wrong is almost always user error, I say that from past experience!

Wow, I’m really impressed with all the help. I had forgotten I started this thread until today. Senioritis maybe, haha. It turns out it was user error after all. I remember checking for the mute button But it must have been on during the signal. I tested the same input on the amp with a different source preamp and it worked. For a few days until the power amp died. It was over 30 years old and was a stopgap given to me when my Krell died. So then I thought to test the preamp again and sure enough it worked into my headphones from the line level output.
 

Anyway thanks so much for all the intelligent and thoughtful responses. You guys rock!

Dont send to factory

Well the moron thing to do is to press the mute button and forget.

I know because I always do that when I turn it off 😁
You’ll have a ways to go to beat my record… I must be at moron >= 1 dozen.😂

Hence my first post 😎

Maybe the mute button?

I think it is good to mute it, and I doubt you forget soon.
How do you like your unit by the way? @nolanh 

I am just glad it was a happy ending, and someone else will surely have the same issue and my stumble upon the thread, so it is a pretty good outcome all around.
