Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
Thanks so much for all the thoughtful replies! @jetter I have bought from Fidelis Nice to know they can assist. To your point might be cost prohibitive. @soix Thank you for the details on the McCormack. So tempted on that. I reached out to the s...

@hsounds if it is a blown cap, why would the amp still play and sound fine?  
Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
I believe the amp is > 10 years. As for opening and trying to diagnose/repair myself, this is most definitely WAY over my pay grade. Again weird thing is it’s playing and sounding fine. Would it do that if it had issues???   @soix I actually ...

Outlaw 5000 should have said😁

Thanks @larry5729 ​​​​@mapman. I just reached out to the guy I bought it from (bought it here). He was really great so I’d like to believe he’s better than that and didn’t try to offload it…I’ll see if he responds. It’s my second system and I paid...

Thanks @panzrwagn! I’m looking around the C list now…am I doing damage by playing it? Everything sounds fine while it’s playing? Maybe just leave it on for now rather than power off?

Thanks All! Love the comic relief😂! Can’t help it have always referred to my fear as she😂 Thanks @bigkidz. I’m waiting on a response from AR. I may just cut my losses and try to find another 1Kish 5 channel. The screech has not come back yet😬. It... 
Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
@immatthewj it seems only 1 side. Appreciate the info on the capacitor, gotta tell ya opening and going inside anything electronic is WAY above my paygrade😳. I did try AR’s website (I honestly didn’t think they were still in business) and sent an ...

Thanks @noromance and indeed @immatthewj NJ is road trip from NH😊! @bigkidz if you’re available any chance you’d be interested in a 5 channel amp checkup/repair?

Thanks so much @soix! Never saw this in the manual and never heard of this? But again the Shunyata cord plugs in the same way as the stock cord, no? Any idea how I could contact bigkidz?  
Loud pop/screech when powering on amp
Thanks @immatthewj , so why would the original power cord make any difference do you think?    Thanks @erik_squires, ya I guess that’s the best place to start local shop.    So when I got home I flipped the main power switch in back on. Then the...

Thanks for the replies! @noromance i don’t recall seeing anything about red dot hot side? Do you think using the original power cable will help? @soix the manual does recommend turning off the front power switch when finished because she does run... 
Streamer/DAC combinations
Just got into streaming a couple of months ago. I started with the Node on its own while I waited for my USB cable to connect to my Pontus II 12th and I was truly blown away! The Node on its own sounded great but when I got my USB cable (Synergist... 
At what point do you...
Thanks @hsounds always love to hear endorsements from those with the experience. Especially after I’ve already pulled the trigger😊! What’s weird about the NRG’s is that I couldn’t find anything anywhere about their specific recommended usage. Most... 
At what point do you...
Well, I did it. Just purchased the 2 open box NRG-4’s. Got an extra 10% as well. By the way the $499/$449 was just for hypothetical purposes. I got 2 6ft NRG-4’s for a final cost of $304. The extra 10% expires end of day. I already had aftermarket...
