Hello all,
Have had my P10 for 6 years now and it had been working fine. I recently moved to the UK and unpacked my P10 yesterday.
After connecting my unit it booted showing the “Initializing” blue screen then switched off. I then realised my SD card had popped out - probably during installation - I reinserted but no avail.
Since I did not modify the software nor the hardware since it was last working a couple of weeks ago I am wondering what to do and what checks should I carry noting that:
the unit was professionally moved from one country to another (but still transported…)
the specs of UK vs Europe (former country) are the same
One thing to try is power it off for a minute or so with the back panel switch, power it back on while holding the blue button on the front panel until it completely boots up. Also make sure there is no network cable plugged in to it.
The second method involves waiting for a second “click” after 30 seconds or so and then pushing the blue button. I may be off on the series of events for this one as it was just recently mentioned for another Power Plant that wouldn’t restart. Someone else should chime in with the correct procedure if this is wrong. It’s still pretty early here in the USA.
First thanks for answering so quickly. Second, you were spot in, your first method worked immediately in that order, you were definitely awake back in US ! Many thanks !! Thomas
Glad it worked for you and this forum has a good respectful following and lots of activity so you are always welcome here.
Yes I am up early AM and there are several people here who are up all night so someone is usually available for advice or simply to chat.
This is great to see energy in this forum indeed. I seem to own equipment from brands that have strong communities and have real after sales service and world class craftmanship (ATC, Linn, PSAudio) and I must admit I am not disappointed… we love our music and our equipment. And I love my P10, it was my last system addition and it helped me going the next mile up sound quality wise.
Well now that you say… I brought my P10 to four countries to date and results were shocking… Australia bumpy 240V with 270V peaks… Russia 240V flat… France 230V flat… and now a bumpy 235-245V in UK
I used to regularly get 243 but now it’s usually around 237.
Edit: - input distortion is regularly 3.1%. When I’ve been at Signature Audio in Westerham, the industrial unit only has 1.4%. We’re both supplied by UK Power Networks (I’m on a domestic single phase supply).
left hand is incoming voltage, under 250 which is unusual for this time of night, i think more folks have electric cars charging overnight around here now hitch may explain it.
RHS is what i run my non-amplifiers on.
No it’s input and output of auto transformer that runs all my non amplifier stuff (sources, streamers etc) - 25 ish volts lower than wall voltage. Saves them a lot of heat dissipation, most are designed for eu average voltage, and whilst they can take the full whack, it shortens their life somewhat.
The amplifiers, OTOH, are 30 year old Quads, and are happy at 250 volts
