I can't see how lacquer would affect a plinth. In an instrument you're counting on the wood to be a part of the equation, in a plinth you're using the mass to not vibrate. Two very different applications one in which I see the finish as an active player (instrument) and one in which I can't see a way it which it'd make a difference. That's my 2c.
Indeed, when I bought it (about 2 years ago) it had just been serviced and calibrated. I've also got both the original and a very extensive aftermarket manual for it.
I've got my eye on a couple of things and if they pan out I'll let head-case know first.
Yup, I have some copper solder that looks the same way when the joint cools. I'm tempted to blame the switch but the fact is that there may be nothing really wrong. A call or email to Goldpoint might be worthwhile.
Outlaw's Latest Deal
Always a great value at its regular price of $350, we're letting the floodgates of audio power open between now and April 30th by offering the Model 2200 for just $270 each. To make the deal even sweeter, we're even throwing in free ground shipping.*
I'm sorry, I can't imagine EQ'ing the O2MKII after hearing it out of the BHSE fed by a good source. Is it 100% tonally accurate, hell if I know, but it sounded f'ing fantastic to my muddy ears.
Gary,
It's also critical to ask the question as to why these resistors failed unless you fancy hooking the power supply up again for rinse/repeat/poof.
