I have just taken delivery of a Mephisto Stereo paired with Gryphon Pandora pre.
Strangest of things occurred when my dealer tried to hook up my Cards Clear speaker wires. The main power fuse blew on one side of the Mephisto. I gave another different older version of Cardas clear to try. Same thing. I took my Golden cross out of storage & both main fuses blew. Hooked up a cheap Chord speaker cables all is well. Tried Kimber 8TC that was lying around all clear. Took out ancient Tara Labs also ok.
What could be happening ?
Right now my dealer's top of the line Chord is doing speaker cable duties while he checks with both manufacturers what's up.
Prior to that the very same Cardas cables were being used on the Antileon Sig without problems. Check continuity & any shorts all ok.
Fuse rating on both amps are the same slow blo 5A
Anyone have any experience like this ? Care to enlighten ?
