HI Dan,

May be a fuse - I will check with Mike for you.

Your Amp's are Lite ? Green ????
Just the Pre Amp Dead

danman, Try a New Circuit (ac outlet)
Maybe you Blew a fuse

I changed outlets and still red! Am I able to check the fuse myself?

Hi Dan,

Hang to until Mike gets back to you as he is far more knowledgable on the preamp than I.

No problem............I will just have to bite my nails and see my shrink since I will now go without audio for a day AAAAGGGHHHHH!

It is probably something stupid anyways!

Dan,

I assume you do not have the MUTE switch on?

james

danman · « **Reply #10 on:** 5 Jul 2009, 03:26 pm »

Nope! Checked that as well.

Audio withdrawal... the headaches will most likely begin this evening

danman · « **Reply #12 on:** 5 Jul 2009, 03:45 pm »

O.K.................For some reason it just came back on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it went into some reset mode!!!

Working now but I did nothing!!! Very weird! But I am happy! Any ideas?

Only explanation I can offer is bad booze!

It could be very low voltage.

I have found the power system we all have is just getting worse and worse with all these computers, florescent lights and switching power supplies coming on line.

That is possible however my amp and CD did not have a problem coming on. I am using a 20 amp seperate breaker but who knows!?

I will keep an eye on it to see if it happens again and get back to you.

Thanks everybody.

Its cuz you are using Bryston/ML combo

dont you get it they dont work togther .... gawd!!!!!

Robert D · « **Reply #17 on:** 5 Jul 2009, 07:44 pm »

I'm sure you have a Power Problem some where.
What other problems do you have ?

Just the BP20 & MPS-1 ?????

To much load on the breaker Unplug the Toaster !

Everything else was working fine except the pre. Like I said I have a dedicated 20 amp curcuit and regulator and I will give great credit to Hydro-Quebec as they do have one of the best sytems (supposedly!).

I turned it off this p.m. and just turned it on now and it worked as usual no problem! Strange but who knows? I will keep my eyes open for anything else unusual! I personally don't believe the unit itself has a problem so I am not worried and even if there is some sort of gremlin, I am still not worried as I will just pack it up and send it that is the advantage of Bryston!

Hi,

I did not want to post as I had this EXACT same issue from time to time.

BP20 or BP25 with MPS1.

And just like you say - did nothing and it comes back on !!!

Im glad to hear this happened without my mention of the same thing.

Adds weight to what I found without pushing you in that direction.

I also remember that IF it was in mute it would be orange LED not red.

I dont have a BP20 or 25 at the mo.
