I guess one way to deal with it would be to have the PASS tested by a qualified tech to determine if it is displaying any aberrations. I have one of the best techs in Canada about 10 miles away from me and he has tinkered with various bits of my gear in recent years. When I told him I had bought a c5 year old X-250, his reponse was : "I dont imagine I'll be peeking under the hood of that piece for another 15 years or so'.
Does my Pass amp dislike my Meridian preamp?
My Meridian G68 (preamp/processor) has been acting up, and my Meridian dealer suggested that the symptoms might be caused by an interaction with my amp, a Pass Labs XA30.5. I have consulted with a trusted Audiogon member, who doubts this theory. So I would like some more input. Here are the symptoms:
1. Meridian G68 freezes up. Neither the remote nor the front panel buttons are responsive. Must be unplugged and plugged back in to work again.
2. After it freezes and I power it down, sometimes a loud “popping” noise is emitted by the speakers.
3. In August, the Meridian G68 stopped working altogether. It was repaired by Meridian America. They replaced the power button and the power supply. But now the symptoms are back.
Thoughts?
