Anyone wanting to sell their Sparkos SS2509 or Sonic Imagery Labs 994s?
Quick question. I'm running my ZMF Calderas on the Soloist 3XGT. The Calderas have a 60ohm impedance with a sensitivity of ~95dB/mW. Would it be best to play my music on low, medium, or high gain? I feel like there is more weight to the music on Medium gain as compared to low gain, but I don't want to blow up my headphones. I haven't even tried high gain as I'm afraid it's too much juice. I play my Atriums easily on high gain, but I've yet to try the Calderas on high gain. Any thoughts as to what's the best setting for the Calderas? Is high gain too much for the Calderas?

This sounds like it might be the problem, but the way it's happening sounds like the failsafe for the top cover not being engaged. Have you opened the unit up and changed opamps?I'm using the Burson's own 3A Super Charger
Faced with the issue, a knowledgeable friend opened the device to inspect it and found no internal defects. No Opamps were replaced or even tested.This sounds like it might be the problem, but the way it's happening sounds like the failsafe for the top cover not being engaged.

So there's a sensor inside the amp that tells it not to turn on if the lid is off and people have had issues (me included the first time I swapped opamps) with the amp not wanting to turn on afterwards after removing the lid and putting it back on. I'd make sure the screws are nice and tight and that the lid is being firmly pulled down and then go from there. The 3A Supercharger isn't enough to fully drive the amplifier and that could also be the issue, which is why it comes with the 5A Supercharger. The 5A is 66% more power than the 3A.Faced with the issue, a knowledgeable friend opened the device to inspect it and found no internal defects. No Opamps were replaced or even tested.
In fact, the device functioned perfectly at my friend's house, without any problems.
Silly question: how do I know if a Supercharger is 3A or 5A?So there's a sensor inside the amp that tells it not to turn on if the lid is off and people have had issues (me included the first time I swapped opamps) with the amp not wanting to turn on afterwards after removing the lid and putting it back on.
