Thanks for your replies Kr4 and Dpac966, According to the Klipsch forum A pwr supply of - 24 + 24v DC and a min of 250 Ma. The pwr supply had been modded prior to my purchase but don't know what all had been done. I should have known better :( I have talked to Steve Donalson a tech and he is researching a replacement. Pehaps someone with an extra pwr supply may read this. Stay tuned, Bret |
Sorry to hear about your problem. It amazes me the ps broke down: to me it looks like a solid piece of engineering. [img=http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1497/40682462if0.th.jpg] Can't help you, but I would suspect the modification. Any chance for a refund? |
I had this exact preamp years ago. That outboard power supply is very rugged. The fact that some guy modded it is likely the reason it broke. But like i said earlier, something upstream might be flaking out and massively increasing current draw, But the linear regulation has current limiting built in. Have you checked the line(120v) fuse, of course unplugged? |
didn't Klipshe buy out mondial? I had this PS flake on me as well. The parts on this PS seem a bit small, and when I changed the verister out as directed by the past owner of Mondial, I also added a fatter power cord and the board couldn't support it. So it was the mod in my case, but the fact that the pre's next owner was used to handling only stage gear didn't help. :) |
