JBLoudG20 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So yesterday I get home from a long day at work. I eat my dinner then I go upstairs, and turn on my amp to warm up. I boot my tower (transport), and after a little bit I cue up an album, put on my w100 and ... nothing. I play with some settings on my computer... nothing. I try my 701...nothing I tunr off my amp, reseat the tube.. nothing I plug my CD player into my DAC, put in a disc...nothing I try my reciever...nothing I plug my amp directly into my DVD player's analog out... SOUND As I'm moving gear around, I realize there is water on everything, and it was jsut POURING rain about an hour ago. Pissed, I go downstairs: "mom did you have my window open" Mom: "yes JBLoudG20, why what happened" JBLoudG20: "My $500 DAC is dead"[me=JBLoudG20]goes back upstairs[/me] I start pulling my gear off, and everyhting else is fine. The MSB Link has vent holes that form an 'MSB' in the top of the unit. As I take my dear (ok please keep in mind im not flossing liek the rest of you and my setup is on a tight budget) DAC out, I peer in to find about a 1/4" of water in there, and the PCB completely submerged. I take it downstairs, put it on the kitchen table and begin dismantling. I wipe everything down, admire the DC servos on the output (damn its really a clean design, I should take some pictures), get out the hair dryer and blow on it for about a half an hour. I put it back together, and bring it back upstairs. I connect it to my receiver and... It's all good. Whew tragedy avoided. I wasn't mad at my mom, it was just an accident, but it would have sucked. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Enigma Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 There is still hope that it can well be broken... cell phones tend to work for a few days after they get submerged than POOF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
