Speaking of Pono, I see on the Pono thread Frys is having one of their sales, they offer the Pono at times for $249, great deal imo. You have to subscribe to their newsletter, then they have a code for it. At $249, think it is quite a bargain. I've taken it to meets as a source for my MicroZOTL2 and LC, get great responses from people who listen. Just sayin'...

Thanks, @Stillhart, beat me to the link, was exercising. But it is the music source I use the most.

Hey folks, I have been thinking if I bring my Liquid Carbon over to Europe (which I bought and used in the US) can I use it on 220V?

Thanks

In one of the many Carbon threads Alex confirmed that all you need is the right cord and it will work.

Sure! The liquid carbon has a SMPS and is able to use anything from 85-270v. Just use an appropriote power cord and you are ready to go. Thats one of the reasons I bought it; I travel a lot for work and need to use it on both 110v and 230v.

Was reading the manual, and noticed somthing interesting
After poweron, its best to let warmup the amp for about 15min, although its not mandatory.

Wonder what happens in that warmup period?


Like many electronics, amps have an optimal operating temperature. When an amp is properly designed they're built so that the optimal temp is reached after it's been on for a bit, 15 minutes in the case of the Liquid Carbon. It'll sound good when turned on but better yet once it reached the intended temperatures.

Here's what happens. The internal components get warmer.
