Greetings from Las Vegas,
Last night I was enjoying my Elicit-R when it cut out briefly; never had this happen before. The unit did not shut off, just no sound briefly.
I was playing a CD; the Rega was at roughly the "noon" position on the volume control. It was driving 4ohm Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand SEs.
Possibilities:
-thermal issue? The Rega has plenty of airflow around it; unit was quite warm, but it's done that before. It is well-ventilated. It's summer in Vegas; my AC keeps the house at 80F, within the Rega's operating parameters.
-CDP issue? It's an Arcam Alpha 9. Older, but well-maintained. CD was new, no issues.
Sound came back after 30 or so seconds; it happened again when I started the CD from the beginning: a brief cut out.
I have another CDP in the system; I'll troubleshoot and try that tonight.
My main concern: just want to make sure there's no damage to the Elicit-R.
Any thoughts are welcome, especially if any Rega folks would like to join in.
Thanks,
Jeff
