Put the tip in an envelope and mail to Monoprice with a note "Shove this up your azz" Yeah ... glue and stick and of course "lifting" the clips Already left feedback on the Monoprice connector ... haha, saw a lot more customers had the same problem Not up to their (usually good) product standards Going to try another amp first to see if the hum is still there. Next, have to fix lobsters for my wife and I Thanks to ALL ... extremely helpful as this was a PITA Cheers, Emile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 While working in the IT dept at a small college, a student came in with her Macbook Pro. She had snapped off the tip on her earbuds... great, only a 1/8 inch hole an the piece was maybe an 1/8 inside the case. I made her sign a waiver/release before I did anything... I straightened a paperclip and put a small drop of CA on the end, carefully inserted and held it in place on the broken piece until it dried. Then pulled out the tip. I could have easily twitched and glued it in for good... but it worked and she was very happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Will be hooking up the K1 shortly - as soon as my wife leaves ... tried to upload a pic of my "tip on a stick," but now I am only allowed 10 KILO bytes Anyone know how to reset this??? Very annoying ... was 2Mb, down to 1Mb, 600kb, 60kb, haha 10kb @Chad???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Do not believe it ... hooked up the K1 and the "hum" is GONE Had been shopping for new amps, but it is hard to find a good replacement for the K1 (or K2). Soooo HAPPY Thanks all Guess the broken tip introduced some feedback somewhere ... haha; after months of use. Just have NO explanation Thought I had found a nice replacement ... Nikko Alpha 440 (220wpc). Would have bought it, but the power out LED's did not work. And ... love this "Tokyo by night" display or big VU meters . Also looked at a Nikko Alpha II. But only 120wpc ... but seller will throw in a Pioneer 8500ll ... not sure it would drive my 904's as loud as I like (after a bottle of wine). Any thoughts? Very strange ... can upload these pics, but when I try to upload a "file pic" I get "cannot upload more than 10.24 kilobytes" Thanks again for all the help!
