Hey guys,
I’m a long time listener, first time caller
So firstly I should say thanks for all the help people here have given indirectly in the past. I’m now hoping to get some help with a specific issue of mine.
I’ve been running a D250 with Townshend Isolda cables to Raidho C1.2 speakers - I’ve been LOVING this setup.
About six months ago, I upgraded from the Raidho C1.1s to C1.2s, primarily because I’d damaged one of the cones (probably) from being over-driven. The upgrade was great - predominantly more texture to the bass.
About 3 months ago, I managed to blow the tweeter. Now I never go above ‘0’ on the Dev, I have -3db of headroom in Roon. I clearly have past form for damaging my raidho’s, but it was a surprise. Certain high frequencies disappeared causing images to shift to one side. The lost frequencies would flicker in and out intermittently. The regularity at which they were missing increased until it stopped returning.
Long story short, Raidho fixed the tweeter and replaced the crossover. Benno of GamuT fame emailed me himself and they went above and beyond. Speakers fixed. Happy again.
Now fast forward a few weeks, and the tweeter has gone again! In the same way! Again, not going loud enough to cause clipping/distortion. I find it hard to believe a single Dav could blow the tweeter.
Raidho assured me the tweeter and crossover were replaced, so my only other conclusion is it must be something further up the chain causing this.
So finally to my question... do you think a single Dev could do this? Or the speaker cable? Could the new internal wiring on the Raidho be exciting a certain frequency? Could an issue with the D250 be causing this?
I’m stumped. Still awaiting a response from Raidho, so thought I’d ask here for your thoughts.
