I want to say once again.....this amp is just AMAZING! the best i heard so far a really big improvement over the total airhead. thx again! |

The only thing I can think that might have changed is the amount of load on the AC outlet under my desk. But I'm running it through a noise filtering voltage regulator so I can't imagine what would be getting through that would make a difference. Any ideas? |

If so, let us know. Also, which power supply are you using?... The Ultras will usually run slightly cooler employing either the Astrodyne PS or HeadRoom DPS versus using the 'stock' linear AC wall-wart. Cheers, Jorge HR Sales/Product Manager |
