| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige David,Minor pops on stop/prev/next seems to occur on these players. The swapout unit does so as well as my repaired unit (although rarely). A technician suggested this may be due to the player not having a muting circuit. However, I only experienc... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Problem has been resolved! AA sent a replacement mother board which elliminated the issues. Looks like a transportation problem where some damage occurred but definitely not visible to the naked eye. Damaged board has gone back for analysis.After ... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Very interesting-i'll follow-up on whether the 33h deals with dc spikes. I think its worth noting the player comes with a stern warning on switching off power amp or turning vol down on preamp whenever player is powered on or off. When you press s... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Finally getting somewhere. After lots of trouble shooting (change power cords, swap line filters, test ics, check voltage, lift grounds, etc.) the pops simply continued. This was not a grounding issue.I took the player back to the dealer for anoth... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Yes, my AA connects directly to the 33Hs and in the dealer setup, the AA connects to a Viola preamp which drives a valve amp. | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Took the player to my dealer and tested it in his system. No pops or buzzing whatsoever! The thinking now is that it could be a grouding issue - I am puzzled as nothing has changed in the system except for it being powered down completely for 2 we... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige David - Will definitely inform on how this plays out. This player takes a long 2-3 months of burn-in and unfortunately my dealer can only loan me a new one. The difference is not subtle as you will find out. When its in the 'zone', its just brilli... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Transport damage is a possibility however on receiving the unit, I could not see any damage to the box. No stress marks, kinks, etc. that would suggest physical abuse. But transportation could definitely be a factor and I may be incorrectly faulti... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Thank you for your prompt responses. The player is getting worse. I'll be sending it back for repairs - its still under warranty. Another 3 weeks of waiting in frustration...Johnny - Fortunately, I haven't paid for the upgrade yet but yes this sho... | |
| Synergistic Research Active Sheilding Quandry I've been using a Quattro for 3 months now. At first, I used a basic shielded power cord and improvement over MPCs wasn't significant - maybe quieter background (not sure though). Recently, I decided to upgrade my DES ref to ABS ref for my dedicat... | |
| B&W or JM labs I lived with the 802 and 800 for a few years and changed to JMLab (Nova Be) after evaluating both 802D and the Alto's. Rather than repeating, click on 'answers' next to my login id for more on my experiences (including highs, lows & mids). Let... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet CW,Being outside of the US, the concern shared by many economists is over ever increasing US household debt rather than:- pension schemes (as defined contribution has effectively moved the risk from employer to employee), and - medical aid (as inn... | |
| Review: Audio Aero Prestige SACD Player reference CD Player Tapani, thanks for the feedback. I've decided to upgrade to SE version early next year. I also do not use a preamp.My only criticism is the long burn-in time needed. | |
| Review: Audio Aero Prestige SACD Player reference CD Player How long before the AA burns-in? In my case this was around 6 weeks. I continued burn-in for a couple more days (so I would settle for 7 weeks). The player now remains in the sweetspot without drifting in and out.During this additional time, I was... |
