Ya' know whats worse than having a mono-block take a dump at 3am?





Having the mail woman deliver your new (used) and very first DAC just 9 hours later and not even being able to try it out.

I think I am going to sit in the corner and pout....along with some alcohol abuse,....but I'll still be pouting!

    Yeah, like your mono-block could have caught on fire and burned your whole house down, then the mail lady wouldn't even be able to deliver that DAC. Cheer up, you'll get things working again before long.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Sounds to me like you can still listen in mono. Nothing wrong with mono.
    Pull out your Beatles mono remasters box set.

    I'll tell you what's worse; it's getting the repair bill for your mono. You really should send the other one along to be updated if it's the leaky caps on the input board.

    True,...or I could have run out of beer!:eek:

    I still don't think it is anything more than a loose connection or bad solder joint. They have already been serviced for the bad caps, I posted a pic of the pieces parts from the service in my other thread.
