Audia flight protection mode

Thanks Czarivey, I have cut my losses and sent it back for repair. I don't think anyone would take it back after an attempted repair. I will be interested to find out what the problem was.

I was told it was a pin hole in the transformer case? Apparently damaged during transit? I would have thought the transformer was securely bolted to the chassis, shouldn't be loose objects travelling around in the case. Anyhow the dealer was great and is getting me a new one, should be here in 2 weeks.

Glad it turned out nicely, but pin hole in transformer case seems to be "found something to say". Dealer doesn't repair your unit so he/she may not know what was really wrong while techie may explain something like that to secure one's business or job security.
As you know, English is spelled differently than pronounced. Same principal was honestly followed when pronounced "pin hole in the transformer case". Trust me the spelling is entirely different :-).

Well the new Audia Flight arrived today. Wow!! It's supposed to need several hundred hours run in. I can't imagine what can get better than this? I am now officially in audio Nirvana, the Ayre MXR and KXR are run in and the Audia flight is the Cherry on top.
This one works perfectly, can't imagine what is still to come. The Sim Audio, while brilliant is no mach for this. Great dealer! Thanks GrooveWorks.

Dinster, glad to hear that your AF is back and running great. I also purchased mine used and worry about repairs in the future if needed. So far it sounds great. I leave it in standby mode so I don't have to reach around the back of the power supply to keep turning it on and off. Mine takes about 2 minutes to power up, go from blinking to solid LED. It seems like a long time to put on the first record but it is worth it once I start playing. I don't know if you have an upgraded PC to your AF, but I do notice an improvement with one. I also use RCA output since I already had the cable. Best of luck with your repaired AF.
