| HELP FedEx Mangles Speakers - Refuses Claim I'm amazed that FedEx settled with you, especially since you were NOT the "shipper". You could have really gotten screwed. As a few others had stated early on, the responsibility of resolving this entire situation, belonged to the seller - which... | |
| Amp blowing fuses Thank you Ray (Rawinsonde). It was a pleasure and glad you're back to enjoying them again.For those interested, these amps have hybrid rectification for the high voltage supply which consists of a single 5AR4 tube and two diodes configured as a "b... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Eldartford, you're still around? Good! ...Thought you drug up, along with "Shadorne", quite awhile ago. Oh, yeah... I fully agree with Mapman's recipe!A "well-engineered" recording, played through even the modest of systems, can/will sound amazing... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help "09-11-12: AtmasphereSwitch mode supply??! I figured this thing had a big toroid..."They appear be two large toroids. If not, they would be the largest SM "inductors" I've ever seen for fairly moderate current demands of this nature, and I believe... | |
| Amp blowing fuses Rawinsonde, from reading a few internet forums, schematics are not available from Quicksilver, though reversed-engineered sketches might be circulating.In any case, send your pictures to the email address below. I'll mark them up with instructions... | |
| Amp blowing fuses Rawinsonde, do you have access to a digital camera - able to email 1-3 hi-rez pics of the amp's internal layout? If so, take some, view them for clarity, and I'll post a generic email address here to forward them unless you can link them here from... | |

| Amp blowing fuses Besides unplugging the amp, just make sure to bleed off all capacitors, if they are not already drained off with resistors across the +- posts/leads . Use an insulated handle screwdriver, or insulated wire with both ends pre-stripped 1/4", to shor... | |
| Amp blowing fuses I agree with Hifigeek1, and a much higher probability than a transformer shorting. To save some money, do you know anyone with basic electronics knowledge that owns a multimeter and soldering iron? They could measure the bridge rectifier, transfor... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced 08-25-12: Sabai"I use Bybee and Shakti and some other quantum tweaks and they are all very effective.Unless you use these items in your system your opinions are merely opinions.

| Amp Shutting Down, need help 08-15-12: SailcappyI have had it replaced to no avail.I *thought* I'd read someone mentioning the breaker was replaced, but couldn't confirm yesterday when quickly going back through the posts, so I wasn't 100% sure and am entertaining Ralph's (At... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced 08-24-12: Davvie"I have Bybees..and Shakti stones..and LessLoss Blackbodiesand others...and they all work as advertised.

| Amp Shutting Down, need help 08-24-12: Atmasphere"Sailcappy, I am really sold on the idea that the breaker is at fault. Have you been using it as a power switch? Or is the amplifier designed with it being the power switch?"Based on the mag-breaker's rear location, the amp's r... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Cappy, I was under the impression that Brick Wall was merely *another* recommendation for your Cary's situation, just like the DC blocker, and to be used solely with the Cary *if* either device resolved its power-up problem. I would continue to us... |
