They have an auto on/off function, but It shouldn't matter because I cut the power to my entire system, including the subs, by turning off the p5. I even shut down each component with it's off switch and then the p5, still, my speakers persist and stay on. I can unplug everything from the p5 and go direct to wall, same problem. I can not figure this one out. I'm afraid my only option would be to go either rca input or wireless, which I know is not ideal in a 2 channel setup. I've tried different zones on the p5, I've tried powering everything off every different way you can think of. And no the tubes in the amp are not lit up. It is flipped to off, and from all indication is off, but still noise. Remove power cord from amp, speakers turn completely off. Remove power cord from subs, speakers turn completly off. Maybe something to do with the subs not being a grounded connection and my Audio Note is?
Subwoofer Causing Amp to Stay On
I have an Audio Note Kit 1 300b SET Amplifier driving a pair of very efficent full range drivers. My entire system is plugged into a psaudio p5 regenerator, which plugs into a synergistic research orange duplex(floating ground). I recently added a pair of Klipsch C-310ASWi subwoofers(ungrounded) into my system via hilevel input, connected from my speakers binding posts. I’ve noticed that now that the subwoofers have been added, when I shut my entire system down, my speakers remain on with a slight hiss or static sound. The hiss will stop, and the speakers will turn off, if I unplug the power cord from the Audio Note, or unplug the subwoofers. I was not having this problem before the subs. So obviously they are the culprit. Anyone know what’s going on here? Old school style amp not liking the newer type amplifier inline? What are my options other than go wireless? Should I go wireless(subwoofer has built in option)? I also get slight transformer buzz from time to time from the psaudio p5, and now that my speakers wont shut up when off, it gets expelled through drivers and amplified into the room.
