I am an owner of x'treme monos for three months.
Recently, my left channel takes 5-6 hours (not minutes!) to start music after powered-on.
Every time I powered off and on the amp, startup time is getting longer.
Three months ago, both channels equally started within 10 seconds
and right channel still starts like before.
I have not noticed apparent sonic difference between both channels,
so I can use the left channel as it is (with a patience for inconvenience).
But I don't think this is normal condition and worry about negative effects to the sound.
I am really grateful if anyone would explain technical background why this long startup time happen.
And have anyone had the same experience?

I would think Klaus would be the one to ask, don't you?

Yes, W.C., I am now consulting to Klaus,
but he seems to be too busy to take care of me.
I would like to know if anyone had experienced similar situation
and how he dealt with it.

It sounds like something with the delay start device.

I think Klaus needs a sticky in this circle with his phone number on it.

but he seems to be too busy to take care of me.

That is how Klaus is. He is always busy like a working bee . But once you get a hold of him, he will take good care of you.

F-100,
Yep, I know he is a nice guy and I like his amp very much.

MaxCast,
I now live on the opposite side of the earth from Indiana so it is a bit hard for me to talk with him directly by phone.

Anyway, I can understand that my amp is in abnormal condition now,
that's enough for me. I’ll talk to Klaus again.
Thank you, guys.
