I’m half playing around. I do love the little red knobs, and they are the standard color way for Neve products (they’re actually the same used on the big $$$$$$$ boards that are legendary).
To each their own. You can do what you please with something you’ve purchased. But why spend good money, largely due to Provence, and change an aspect of it?
I love the knob! But “you do you” as they say.
At the rate we derail threads, can we use the term “knob” less frequently?
Especially when they are red…
Whats wrong with red knobs?lol
To somebody like me that despises the color red…EVERYTHING
Yeah I’m not a fan of red either. I was just playing around tho. I hated how they made the aeon 2 closed red. Gun metal gray or matte black woulda been cool. Red probably looks different to me due to being color blind. Just not a fan.
Was going to wait on getting this amp, since I bought so much gear in the last 2 weeks… but saw one on reverb for 400usd in excellent condition… Couldn’t resist, so I pulled the trigger…
Bye bye Liquid Spark.
Whats the footprint of this compared to the smsl su-8? Looking to stack them.
Mine died today. Or maybe yesterday. I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home. RHNP deceased, funeral tomorrow.
The good thing is that the replacement arrives Wednesday.
@sluice, Before you get rid of the liquid spark can you do a solid A/B comparison with a mid-priced HP or 3 please?
I really believe each piece of equipment brings it’s own merits to the table and I’m particularly curios about these 2. In reading everyone’s descriptions of the RNHP it somehow reminds me very much of the LS, just “better” but i can’t remember reading about what the better actually is compared to another, black, powerful, quiet, warm, and musical amp, aka the LS…
This is concerning. What happened?
I don’t know. I just came back after a couple days away and it was dead. I tried to plug it in to other outlets, etc but no avail. Brick.
We did have a power outage in the interim. And I have been leaving the RNHP on, and my other equipment off. My other equipment is fine, so maybe a surge? I have a generic Office Max surge protector but I don’t know enough about it to take a guess. For sure this has me concerned enough that I bought a quality Furman surge protector.
If your power went out, it sounds like that could be the culprit. It would be fairly unlikely it just dies doing nothing
What are the odds it was something else, right? Any other cause would be hearing zebras and ignoring the obvious horse. I’m glad I had my SPL, D90 and computer off!!
IS this decent protection? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002D017M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Most likely yes, but I’m not super informed on surge protection lol
You’d have to have some idea of what died to know if a surge protector would have made a difference.
I would in most cases expect the power brick to absorb any sort of surge.
Maybe the power brick is dead, and the amp is still OK. That a possibility.
Could be, I lost a computer PSU once a long time ago, when I was away and there was a power outage. It’s the only thing I’ve ever lost that way, and I get a dozen power outages a year, not counting the ones that only last a second or two.
Power supplies usually aren’t just going to fail from a small spike. You may just have been unlucky.
Most of my stuff now is in some sort of surge protection, but that’s more a function of the power strips I bought rather than any real plan.
What you need to know?
