OK, apparently that amp has issues and was the cause of the noises you were hearing all along.  At least since you have the subs close to the rack on the inside of the speakers you can just use one of them with both of the cables until Brian sends you a new amp.

Ok, then I’ll run the line out on that one side.

Did you check the fuse on the sub amp?

No, will look for it right now….

Ok, the fuse in the IEC was shot. There was a spare in the IEC and I used that one. With the toggle in the off position, I got the standard red LED for a fraction of a second and it blew again.

OK.  Let's think this thing through.

Your Supratek had the left channel die.

Your left sub is dead.

Why?

The last time I checked, both channels were now dead on the Supratek. Jack wants me to hook it up one more time before I send it off to North Carolina under warranty and I was going to do that tonight.

To the best of my recollection, all of this started with the addition of the subs. By that, I mean the very loud and concerning thump in the left channel coming out of the sub when turning the Supratek on and off. I think starting off, I had the Rythmik toggle in the on position, then I switched it to standby mode for operation.

Now I will admit that my usual mo was to leave the  Starkrimson amp on 24/7 and just turn the tubed Supratek preamp on/off every night for listening. Whether it was an interaction between these three pieces of equipment, I have no idea.

Dave

Chances the left channel going out on the Supratek was related to one of the 1950's RCA's I sent him but could be something else. The other tube is apparently still good.

2 new /different up and running puuuurfect.

Nick, Oh fun, NOT!
Brian must be really scratching his head.

 Try his hum test. With the sub on green. Take the cable out of the Pre. Hold on to the positive male pin on the end and don't hold the grounded jacket on the plug to the cable. It should hum through the sub. Turn crossover and volume all the way up .

AND don't mention my name.

Mums the word, Den 🤫 But there is no green light or red light either. There is no power that I can detect. Maybe it’s gone into “Brigadoon mode”….every 100 days 🤷‍♀️
If Brian gets it resolved, I’ll be a happy camper and then evaluate if they’re really worth having.

So glad your SVS are working perfectly!
