Primare A32 front panel-rapidly flashing standby indicator light
audioconnection, I want to say a BIG THANKS for your recommendation to install a 5 amp fast blow fuse.  IT WORKED & my amp is back up and running!!!  One exception, I installed a 6 amp fuse instead (purchased from a major hardware store-4 for ...

Good day all. I received a reply back from Vana after inquiring about the specific fuse I removed.  They say they'll sell a dozen for $3.60 + shipping.  Sounds like a bargain to me. I've asked for an invoice.  Waiting for a response.  Audioconnect...

No problem, martyfriedman. The bit I used was a 6 point star.  I have 6 bits in my set (all without center holes) and I used the smallest one.  I only removed the tiny screws on the top and sides.  No large screws. The cover just lifted off.

gentlemen, I am a Mrs. not a sir (not that you could have know). But audioconnection, I did email Primare at sales@vanaltd.com. I asked if they have fuses for sale. I am waiting on a response. Thanks for the suggestion. I just hope when all is sai...

Okay, I got curious and opened my amp.  There's a fuse on the bottom panel near the back.  It's fine.  BUT there are also 4 other fuses!  2 mounted on the left and right front wall panels.  And guess what?  1 is blown.  Problem.  Hopefully someone...

I've already checked the back fuse and it looks good. So you're saying you're going to open your unit to check your inner fuse before the local repair guy looks at it?

martyfriedman, I haven’t priced shipping and insurance. Though it’s not funny I had to laugh when you said "my head exploded." I suppose when I do look into it I won’t be laughing anymore. This beast (boxed for shipment) weighs somewhere around 95...

jetter,You're probably spot on about manipulating the speaker wire resulting in its breaking.  Sometimes I manipulated it at the speaker end and other times at the amp end.  For a while I was afraid my MA Gold 300 left speaker was a lemon.  But Au...

Not yet.  I plan to send it to the guys in WA sometime within the next 2 weeks.  Nothing like experienced repair personnel recommended by the manufacturer .  It's all boxed and ready to go.  I'll post when it returns and my experience with the rep... 
Wife trouble
No need to bash women or marriage   No 2 are the same.  I am a music loving woman whose been married to the same man for 38 years.  Anytime there's more than 1 person there's going to be differing opinions.  It may be hard (sometimes even impossib...

I contacted the Primare manufacturer and they referred me to the guys in WA, but also supplied (when I requested) the A32 service manual and schematics for a local repair shop to use.  Great customer service, I'd say.  I also found one of my speak... 
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
This is hilarious!  But on the female side, my daughter has been told to look up the cost of my system if anything happens to me.  To my husband's credit, I think he might continue to enjoy the system if I die before him.  He doesn't know the exac...

Just sent an inquiry via Primare "contact us" website.  Thanks for the suggestion.  
Monitor Audio
Don't know about pairing MA speakers with Rega gear (Had Harmon Kardon and Marantz receivers), but I had the Silver 6's as my main speakers for almost 10 years and they were very good for their price. This year I moved them to my HT system and now... 
New system with periodic sound dropouts
Wednesday I disabled the wireless adapter and had no further dropouts. Thursday I enabled it (after Google Fiber was installed) & I've had no drop outs. Google's box transmits per coaxial and there's an ethernet connection on the rear of the b...
