Need help Preamp went to starting mode .
Hi,
My ARC SP-14 Preamp was acting strangely yesterday while I was playing second CD. Need your help to troubleshoot the cause.
The setup includes SP-14 with 2 Y connectors to Bryston 9B-ST for bi-amping Martin Logan Sequel II through active crossover (Vendetta Research).
It's been that way for last 2,3 months, then suddenly during playing 2nd CD, no sound came out and the LED on SP-14 got dim as if it's in warming up stage.
Turn off the amp and preamp, then turn on the preamp ony, it went through warming-up and "ready" as usual. The moment I turned on the amp, the LED on SP14 immediately got dim.
I repeated this for 2, 3 times and it happened exact same way.
I'm confused and not sure if it's the power source was weak (we're running the AC that time), or the tube (SP-14 is hybrid) went bad, or something else.
If you have any experience/guidance on this. please let me know.
