Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Are the demons back JohnK? EP600 strange issue....

I just re-read your initial post. Was your wife also doing laundry while she was sorting for goodwill?

BTW, Lutheran ministers don't know what to do with demons. You need an Orthodox or Catholic to deal with that. Lutheran ministers will try to counsel the demon whilst Orthodox or Catholic priests will curse it right out of the house .

I guess I would not call it a "pop" like a light bulb blowing, it just sounded similar to the thump or low frequency I was hearing during the storm.

Sounds like John had a similar issue, I may try powering it off for a bit to see if it gets even better. To be honest, tonight is the first time I've heard this before.

ps: just went out with a spotlight to check for coons on the roof.

If unplugging it for a while solves the problem, that's good to know, but yeah, I'm also curious what the real cause of this is.

Yeah Randy, as Mo suggested, maybe you should turn the Odyssey off as well as the EP600 amp. The only thing, if you turn it off the capacitors will have to take another 3 months or whatever to form properly(the ones in my equipment do that in 3-4 seconds from a cold start).

In my occurrance there was no storm going on and no electrical appliances(just lights)were on.

Edit: just read Mo's latest, and this might be a bit specialized. I do have, besides strictly classical, a considerable amount of music from the Eastern Church Liturgy(largely Orthodox). I speculate that if you play one of the CDs that this could possibly do the trick and cheaper than the priest.

Actually, it only takes a few minutes for the amps to stabilize when first turning them on if you decide to turn them off each time, your thinking of the full break in time for the soundstage to open up and place the listener in utopia.

Peter's obviously not around this weekend, but the other day he mentioned that his EP500 does the exact same thing during electrical storms.

The designers of these DSP-based subs may have inadvertantly incorporated a Spiricom circuit.

Randy,

My EP500 does the thump thing during electrical storms. It's happened twice so far and now I just switch it off to avoid the issue. The first time, I thought it was my neighbor (I live in a townhome) banging on the wall.

Iowa.

When will you realize that the common denominator in all your failed (AV) relationships is you?

Okay, so I can't help. I think John and Mojo have you covered on the actual science and stuff. I'm just comic relief around here anyway.

And, I'm here all week.
