Well, my foray into hifi has been a total disaster.. Or maybe this is normal in the vintage world?
My NAD 3240PE just started smoking.. slow wisps of dark electrical smelling smoke just started wisping up from the back of the amp. :tears:
Can you believe my luck.. after blowing my speakers with the same amp: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=155155.. So, I pretty much have a record player and a CD player at the moment..
I have turned the amp off - it has stopped smoking. Should I never turn it back on?
What should I do? Try to get the amp repaired at great expense? Or buy another one?
I have two possible explanations - some comments would be great.
1. The amp has been making a low hum ever since I bought it... could this be related somehow?
2. I added this little adaptor because I was told it would help to connect my ipod safely:
Could this be the cause? I was only trying to make it safer.. just my luck.
