lehouillier1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I have an Acurus Act 3 preamp. It is frozen. If I unplug and turn on by pressing input buttons it will switch inputs. Once its on it is unresponsive. I can access the menus from standby state. Is there a common fault for these that I can troubleshoot? Any info would be helpful. I have the schematic and a decent rework station for performing repairs. The initialization process runs but has no effect.

willland Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Lehouillier1, Welcome to the forum. I don't know about a guru but sure am a "fan boy". I know a guy(not personally but through forums) that knows a ton about Acurus and Aragons. I will try to contact him and see if he can solve your problem. Just out of curiosity, what amp/amps do you have paired with your Act 3? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay L Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Getting in touch with Indy Audio Labs is your best bet. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lehouillier1 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks for that, I have fired off an email to Indy Labs. I'm not hopeful as they really have nothing to do with Mondial other than the rights to the Aragon/Acurus names. (Kind of like Klipsch) Their new line of stuff looks really nice, though. I will be sure to update with any information I receive back from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 There is a very helpful guy on Audiokarma that goes by the name "mondialfan". Extremely knowledgeable guy about Acurus/Aragon products.

willland Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Maybe even forum member and moderator Steve Phillips can assist you with your Act 3. I think he was very involved with the Aragon line when Klipsch bought Mondial in the early 2000's. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I loved my twice upgraded ACT-3. Lightning got it twice and the second time the damage was unrepairable. I learned how great it was when I replaced it with an Integra DHC-80.2. The Integra sounds as good as the ACT-3 with the final upgrade, but it is so complicated, I need the manual to remember how to adjust it.
