Premier 275 Crackling

I just bought a pair of Premier 275 tube mono blocks. One of the amps "pops" while warming up and makes crackling noises. I have no idea what this is. The only things I could think of were perhaps biasing and seating. The tubes were new from CJ. Also, the amps came with extra fuses and the...

Re: What is phase inversion and what do I do about it?

Thank you - I was not precise but that is what I meant. I did switch them on the amp side for both amps. I can't tell if I can hear any difference. I guess if I really wanted to hear it I could just do one and compare?

What is phase inversion and what do I do about it?

While researching bi-amping with my CJ 17LS I looked up the specs at CJ and it said "Phase: inverts phase of all inputs at main output". So If I have understood this correctly, to correct for phase inversion I should reverse the connections at the amps or the speakers?

Re: BI AMP with 17LS

I have one pair of Quicksilver mid mono 40 http://www.quicksilveraudio.com and one pair of Silver 60 mono. Both have input impedance of 100 ohms. The 60 have a Frequency Response of 13 Hz to 50 KHz and the 40 16 Hz to 35 KHz. I want to pair them to my Mourdant Short Performance 6 which have a Freque...

BI AMP with 17LS

Does anyone have any experience bi-amp with a 17LS? Here is the answer I got from CJ "If both MAIN OUTPUTs are working, then, yes, you can simply hook up two pairs of mono-blocks to MAIN1 and MAIN2. But, for optimum performance, be sure that the combined impedance load does not drop below 10 kO...

Re: Alternative to 17LS?

CJ said the new ET-3 SE would be the closest - but now quite as clear as the 17LS.UG

Re: "blown" right channel on 17LS

So here is the skinny. I pulled the cover and there is no fuse for the channel. I spoke with CJ, who told me the microprocessor got "scrambled" and to unplug it ,wait while, and go for it. ANd it worked

Re: Alternative to 17LS?

Thank you so much. I do not need a phono stage for my second system but I really like the idea of a remote - but I do not have to be married to it. Another thought I have is to really mix things up. The MS 6 can be bi-amped and the 4 Quicksilvers, well, how cool would that be? The Talons love power ...

Alternative to 17LS?

I have a CJ 17LS in my primary system with Quicksilver 60 monoblocks, MIT Shotgun2 cables, and Talon Audio Raven speakers. I started building a second, "smaller" system for a small cottage upstate. I blew a fuse in the CJ before I got things set up upstate so I switched out the preamp (a J...

Re: "blown" right channel on 17LS

Everything was on and connected with DAC#1. Then DAC#2 was hooked up and it would not work at all (another issue). So she went back to DAC#1 and when she was plugging in one of the RCA it made the "noise". I came in and turned off the system and hooked everything up with it shut down, I re...

"blown" right channel on 17LS

My "sposal unit" decided to play around with a couple of DACs while the preamp,amp,and both sources were on and connected. Apparently, there was a "not very nice" sounding noise and now the right channel will not "work". The front LED shows balance, the tubes "look...
