| Tube pre-amp pop I took the amp and the pre-amp with my ICs to the dealer and to my surprise, there was no POP no BOOP noise . I felt kind of stupid for stressing out with owner.Back to my house, again there is a POP/BOOP. Blame it to my electric company or my bui... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Beheme, Don't they say it is cheaper to keep the so-called "wife" ! | |
| Will leaving an amp powered-up all the time... I tried the " leave it on" for a day or two but all the amps I have from Krell 400xi, Parasound Hca 1000a, Bryston 4bsst seems sounds softer, warmer, more open but lacking of " edge" or sharp details and I really miss that . In my set up, I find i... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop Have the Sp16 hook up to the 4 Bsst and a smaller Paradigm reference ( don't know what the model is ) at dealer, there is a very small pop from the speakers , not a loud "Boop" when switching mute on/off, others functions is normally quite. Leonar... | |
| How do you tell if your local authorized dealer .. All the box are brand new sealed when receiving with dealer ship to address,dated shipped, date to received by Fex Ex, so I am pretty sure they are A stocks. Thanks for the infos. | |
| Tube pre-amp pop Received an e-mail from Bryston advised me to have the SP16checked. I e-mailed Bryston the symtomp of my system last night. Will have to call ARC and to come down to the dealer tomorrow. He is a very nice guy but too busy to call ARC for my exchan... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop No, Audiophile , It is the same loudness. | |
| Tube pre-amp pop This is the deal. source on first, then SP16 on second ( it takes a minute or two and goes to mute by itself), then I power on the amp ( little buzz at amp then red relay lights then blue lights ). I then use the mute off ( boop noise) , volume up... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop yeah, I used to be a very sucessful account executive for a phone company. Went thru a divorce then lost my high paid job. Moved out a small apt then sold all my beloved hi-end gears since I did not have any desire to listen to music for a while. ... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop Yeah, I would take the SP16 to my dealer to check it out. Good idea. I hope the amp is not the problem since the dealer did told me it was very heavy and he did drop the box when carying it out (I bought both units at the same dealer) but when pow... | |
| How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the Infofuma, I own 400xi and I love it as much as my SP16/ 4Bsst combo even though the 400Xi is not quite as detail and open as the above combo. A $2500.00 intergrated holds itself pretty good against $5,500.00 combo that is impressive. If it is in p... | |
| How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the I have compared the 400xi and the combo Sp16 pre with 4 Bsst amp and I have to say the 400xi comes very closed. Open, clean, sweet and warm. The 400xi mid-range is not quite open and rich as the Sp16/ 4 Bsst combo but very close. I did hear more d... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop Thanks, jmcgrogan. I went to my dealer and tried on both of his SP16. They both are quite, no pops no boops from speakers. You are right that this is not normal. Bought the ARC about a month ago but did not received my Bryston amp untill last week... | |
| Tube pre-amp pop You means dc leaking? Would it will damage all my other new components. It is a brand new pre-amp and I thought AR is a good products. Any SP16 owner outhere? Called AR two hours ago, left a message but no response yet. | |
| In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ? Stevecham's advice is a common practice and this is also recommended by some surge protection manufactures. Some Panamax and Monster's models offer " sequential on/off". To turn on: source(s), pre, amp and to turn off: amp, pre,sources. The logic ... |
