FWIT I live in central California. We suffer under PG&E as our only provider. However when power is the culprit, they can be liable for damage. My internal motor control on my air unit was damaged by low voltage and I was able to file a claim. I’m pretty ignorant of other parts of the US, but I see many areas suffer from lightning strikes and power surges. FWIT when I’m gone my rig is powered off and unplugged for vacation. If there is an outage while I’m home I pull the plug(s) on my gear and turn my air units to OFF as I had one blow when the power came on after being off for a day. Sorry for your experience, Mike B.
Is My System Toast?
The electricity in my town went out the other day for a short time. My wife was in the living room where my stereo system is. The amp is a Bel Canto eVO2i and a pair of Quad 12L2 speakers. She told me that when the power came back on that the left speaker crackled and smoked a little. When I looked, it had a constant low but discernible hum. I tried the speakers and they were dead. I switched the amp input to my CD player (which had been completely powered down) and there was no sound. Are the speakers and amp pretty much gone? Is it worth having the amp looked at for possible repair?
