I never figured out why I couldn't get the first Phoenix to function.Turns out it worked right out of the box at it's next stop.
But it's all about the music now.


Glad to hear you've got a working replacement Bob

Did anyone find out what the issue was with the first one (out of curiosity) ?

Peete.


PS Mine runs warm but I wouldn't call it hot (compared to a big class A SS amp). Then again my ambient room never climbs above 74F....I suppose if I had no AC and the room temp was in the 80's I might have a slightly different view on this but the heat generated by the Phoenix isn't excessive ( compared to tube amps and other stuff I own). IMO at least.

I lived in a house that was built in 1852 in the 90's (5 minute walk from work which was nice) and it had central air installed without much trouble.

Peete.

I did fine without central A/C for a few weeks.

When's your Ref1 coming?

My K1000 wouldn't get here till this Thursday and the Stingray wouldn't get here from Canada till at least next Friday. So at the moment, I don't have an amp or headphone to listen to.

Yes, my house is 154 years old an central AC would be easy enough except it's a historic landmark and doing work to it is very hard. It's the town and house where prohibition got it's roots with the Women's Temperance Union- some meetings were held in the house in the 20's apparently. Hilarious considering the current occupants (me and my wife)! Boozers and athiests, hah!

Looks like it shipped today according to the A-gd website. If history holds true he'll have it tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm simply enjoying it too much to say much about what's going on. Way more detailed and enjoyable...but then again I'm coming from an iPod with its DAC, so it's light years ahead of where I came from.

I'm waiting until the 7-10 day mark to really spend time analyzing the sound I'm hearing. It's running 24/7 right now, and I'm being patient and waiting until it's ready to fully say how it sounds.

Id like to know how many watts it sucks out of the grid as a measure of how well it will work as a heater for my study!
Please post your readings if you have a power meter.


Aren't you Queensland? You could use it as a central heating unit.
