williewonka, by now you probably know that to prevent the oscillation you would want to buy a pair of zobel networks for $20 from Goertz Audio which is owned by Bridgeport Magnetics Group.
I learned the hard way
I thought, (secretly hoped) some of you have had some hard luck stories to tell from your audio adventures that may have provided some benefit from sharing here so others may benefit..
I waited years until recently to try some Lyra SPT stylus treatment. The other weekend I opened the little top on the little bottle and turned it to an angle for application to it's little brush. The bottles' contents began spilling on my countertop. WTF! I then noticed/realized that there are two tops. The lower top came off when I unscrewed the smaller upper top. I just watched as $30 drained on to my countertop. I then made sure the lower top was extremely tight going forward.
The good thing is, half a bottle will still last years.

@jetter - would that be - after the amp has oscilated to destruction? :-) Actually, I had not heard of zobel networks until your repsonse (thanks) - I purchased a NAIM and the dealer warned me of the issue - so I bought cables that worked with the amp. I think the issue is, manufacturers should warn about the possibility - then the customer could take the appropriate action to prevent it - whatever solution they choose. - perhaps the manufacturer should include a Zobel network in the box? Thanks for the info - sharing benefits everyone. |
