| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? Call Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio, CA. He is the importer/distributor and could most likely pinpoint what the problem is. | |
| New Pass amp X250.8 @audphile1 , good to know,thanks! | |
| Synergistic Research Master Fuse £565 Are all these different boutique fuses approved by UL? That fuse must be $600+USD! Sorry, this retired guy will keep his money and enjoy his system regardless. My systems sound more than good enough for me, but you guys who do have the dough ... | |
| MC601 power output Run a mono signal to both amps and they should read the same. If they don’t, the meter may need calibrating. We’re the monoblocks purchased new or used? | |
