billybob Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Don't know if would work, but Mike just posted this on another thread just now. I will get the link. Surge protector looks alright. And you plugged 3 prong without adapter into wall and strip after fixing outlet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 All the equipment has 3 prong cords? And un balanced connections? Where does the third wire go on all the equipment? To the chassis and then to the shields of all the un balanced connections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those testers don't check for ground/neutral swapped. Was the green "ground light" on even when the wires were swapped? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 @babadono Noooooo, I mentioned before to start at the beginning of his set-up and take things one at a time. You know me better than that! hahaha A shorted speaker wire or something else does weird stuff is all I was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, yea I know ya know but check things out and make sure you're good. NOTHING touching to short anything. I'm running a Prima Luna and using a Schiit Mani from my Linn table. Sounds fantastic for $150. Double check the speaker wiring for phase and shorts. Relax and check things out. Don't stress. It ain't rocket science. Go right back to the basics with your set up. Step at a time. Start over if you have to and take your time. Cross your fingers too I double checked and re seated the speaker wires before turning everything on again. After re wiring connecting the wall outlet problem. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
