hey, welcome! i loved following your threads from the bay area. i moved back here from VA in 2020.

@djnagle did you see them?

yep

i just saw that ad; best of luck!

UPDATE: have had the tuner back in my rig for about a week with no issue. it sounds great. for some reason i'm getting a bit more SPL--have to turn down the preamp a bit when i select tuner--but otherwise perfect. i now use the power switch on the variac to turn it on/off. fingers crossed...

ok, thanks :)

OK, was able to dial in 219/220; going to let that go for a couple of hours to see if it stays stable; then will plug in the tuner and see if the fuse blows again; if not, will let it run for a while... thanks again!

oooh, put the variac 1st...THANK YOU!

you mean inside the tuner? that is probably beyond my skillset.

alas, both my variacs are 110/120v input. i tried one anyways thinking it would blow the fuse if the variac couldn't handle the 254V. wrong; killed the variac but not the fuse (maybe a slow blo?). i could buy a variac rated for 240v but that is more $ down this rabbit hole. also, would it...

OK, interesting. i did have a DAC die a few days before the problem with the tuner....

a local friend suggested putting a variac in the chain and dialing it down to 220V; will try that...

years ago i traded a guy on AK for a SABA MT201 tuner. it is german and the manual says its power needs are "220V, 50hz, max 20 watts." SABA MT201 AM/FM Stereo Tuner Manual | HiFi Engine recently it went dead. @Punker X suggested i check the internal fuse and indeed it was blown. i sourced...

to each their own, eh? i tried a higher cross point but felt that too much of the music was coming out of the alphas. i use a miniDSP to bring in the alphas; the Liis run full range (i do the same thing with my altec 604Es and helper woofers; i use a higher cross point for them). i set the...

how do you like the 150hz crossover point? i have Lii 15s on top and eminence aphas (in H-frames) on the bottom and have crossed at 50hz w 24db slope.
