my headphone amp just died
18:22:18
suntmc
can't afford to get it repaired
18:22:25
suntmc
can't afford to even send it in
18:22:29
shinmera
How much would it cost?
18:22:47
suntmc
it's like 10kg, manufacturer in australia
18:23:12
suntmc
but not in a bad way i guess
18:23:18
suntmc
no weird sound or anything, just lost power
18:23:31
shinmera
Maybe just a wonky contact from the power supply?
18:23:42
PincerAttack
Very nice drawing today
18:23:52
PincerAttack
I like those thick lines
18:23:55
suntmc
well, maybe the "kippschalter" i use to turn it on on the back side
18:24:09
suntmc
but i don't feel confident opening up a device that's 90% power supply
18:24:22
PincerAttack
Worthy of being a new profile picture even
18:24:32
shinmera
PincerAttack: that was the intention.
18:24:45
suntmc
might check the fuse first. but usually when a fuse breaks it's for a reason
18:24:52
shinmera
suntmc: You could have my dad look at it if you want...
18:25:10
suntmc
i'll check with the guys that sold me the thing first
18:25:30
suntmc
they're in Siebenen. maybe they can send it in for me or sth
18:26:10
suntmc
that was the last thing i needed to break. like everything else would've been cheaper
18:26:43
suntmc
well fuck my life i guess
18:31:42
suntmc
but i'm not sure if a new fuse would be a good idea
18:33:26
shinmera
suntmc: my dad asks if it's a tube amp
18:33:52
shinmera
suntmc: but also he says replacing the fuse should be no problem, if there's a fault elsewhere it'll just blow it again immediately.
18:34:24
suntmc
shinmera: no, solid state
18:34:40
suntmc
shinmera: aight. guess i'll try. they're cheap anyway
18:35:12
suntmc
but i mean, can a fuse just go bad like this?
18:35:32
suntmc
device is max 4.5 years old. bought it used from the distributor early 2017
18:36:06
suntmc
but then again, it also runs most of the day
18:36:21
suntmc
well i guess here's hoping
18:37:23
shinmera
he says what could be happening aside from the fuse going bad is the capacitors drying out.
19:09:21
suntmc
can you see that by looking at them? i mean, a ballooning cap is obvious, but that's not drying out, right?

shinmera: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/burson-conductor-virtuoso-2-inside-pics-technicalities-personal-thoughts-and-some-measurements.4979/ judging by the pictures, at least this device seems to be somewhat easy to work on
