LOUD static/buzz SDA-2B

My buddy came over and plugged his ipod into my integrated while the volume was pretty cranked. This resulted in an extremely loud buzz static/pop sound. I played it cool when it happened but everything inside of me wanted to throw him out of the room.
I might be being a little paranoid, but I'm wondering if their is damage that could have happened that isn't as obvious as a blown speaker. I swear that ever since it happened the tweeters have become harsher, but not blown. OR it could be my brain playing tricks on me.
I'd love some input, thanks guys!

I've since sold the integrated so it's somebody else's problem. I'll check the resistors Trey. Thanks! -

No, because I wasn't aware their was one. It was functioning perfectly and he had 30 minutes to play with it. And most importantly, that's none of your damn business

This right here shows what class you have and that is none.
Edited: for the risk of being banned!! But you get the idea!!
No need to reply as I just put you on the dummy list.... -
Well you made it our business when you posted in here. I just cannot believe you would push a piece of equipment off on someone else that you think is bad. And then state it is their problem now. At the least it is classless and you should make it right with the person who bought the equipment.SDA2BTL

I hope a fellow forum member didn't get stuck with that integrated. I feel sorry for who ever it was. It's a tight knit community here I have bought a lot of stuff here and every transaction has been a smooth one. It's a matter of trust and I feel that we are all trustworthy. At least we now all know who not to buy stuff from.Home Theater

I didn't start the thread asking about why my integrated isn't working. I sold it in perfect working order. The guy is happy with his integrated, I was happy to sell it. We're all happy.
Now my first reaction was due to the fact that a stupid assumption was made based of little information and was off-topic to boot.
Also, Larry. Your dummy list is full of people that find you annoying, arrogant, and childish. I'm assuming it's quite a long list. -

My reading comprehension skills are excellent. Unfortunately, your ability to convey a question with clear and concise information is not. Therefore, my comment was most assuredly on topic.
Perhaps in the future you could try taking responsibility for your actions or lack thereof instead of erroneously blaming someone else.Political Correctness'.........defined

I have a multimeter. What do I check, what resistors? and for what?
The resistor(s) for the tweeter (if you are talking speakers). In your CRS+ SDA's (depending on what year yours were made) you should have one or two 2.7 ohm resistors on your crossover board(s). I haven't owned the CRS+ SDA's but I believe that is correct.
To check resistors: Set the multimeter to "Ohms" with the Greek symbol of omega or(range depends on resistance you are trying to measure) and put one multimeter lead on each end of the resistor. The multimeter should display the correct resistance (in Ohms) of the resistor (i.e. value of the resistor). In this case it should be (approximately) 2.7 ohms. Not sure that came out clear, but my bloodsugar is low. Let me know if that makes sense.
Greg
Edit: I just realised your CRS+'s are TL'd. Someone else (i.e Jesse) can answer better than I, but I think you need to add another (non-original resistor) to the crossover to TL them (if I'm not mistaken) It has been about 3 years since I have TL'd my 2B's or worked on the crossovers so I don't remember for sure.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Your reading comprehension needs work. I wasn't referring to your post.PreCd
Did you let that buyer know of the potential problem?
This is the one I was referring to. Like I said, first off it's none of your business and it's the implication here that bothers me and on top of that, it's off topic. -
Listen. You may not have meant that you pawned a problem off on someone else but it was exactly the way it sounded in post #5. Reworded a bit your post could have been understood a bit different and you would not have been made out as a person who had sold a unit just to get rid of the problem. That is exactly as the post sounded not only to me but to 2 others who started reading the thread. I don't feel as if my comments were off topic because you were the one who brought up the unit was no longer your problem and had been sold.
This is the last post for me on this as any other correspondence would be useless. Again all this started from the words you posted and I believe you now have clarified that you did not sell the unit to another with a problem.SDA2BTL

I'm glad it's your last post. I don't turn in my moral report card to you at the end of the day and it's still none of your damn business. I'm in no way obligated to share how that sale went down. I've had dozens of great transactions here at CP so take a hike and stop making assumptions. -
Sometimes we have to admit when we f'd up. The wording caused the appropriate reaction. Some time ago I was guilty of the same when I asked how you tell a friend that his sound system stunk. At the time I had hoped those that knew me realized I would never do that but I did open the door to a similar appropriate reaction.

Imagine this, I'm going to be the voice of reason here.
Firstly I don't agree with the "that's there problem now" statement, but nowhere does Shane say there was anything wrong with the integrated amp he sold. He was asking if the static/hum taht came from pluggin in the iPod could have cause damage to his speakers. Nowhere does he state the static/hum was originating in the amp, which he then sold. So let's not jump all over him. The statement about it not being his problem is worth a little public thrashing however. I would hope if it had a problem he would take care of it.
Again, me being the voice of reason :eek:

I must say after reading the posts here, I am surprised by Audio's response. It's none of your damn business doesn't work when you post a question in a public forum. Kind of defeats the purpose of posting if it isn't our damn business. With that said. He is being honest. He didn't tell the person that bought the Pre and if it was functioning fine why should he.
The static buzz was the amp anyway. It amplified the sound of the plug being inserted. I have done this before and never hurt a darn thing.
I would check the crossovers on the speakers and call it a day. -

No, it doesn't. You stated.....Now my first reaction was due to the fact that a stupid assumption was made based of little information and was off-topic to boot.

Let me just apologize for missing that I said this. When PreCd responded he quoted me UNDER his response so I didn't even bother to read the quote he was referring to. Normally quotes go ABOVE a response. This all makes sense now. I completely missed that I said "it's somebody else's problem" which was more of a sarcastic remark than anything else.
My apologies guys, I sincerely missed that I said that.
