I have a ML#27.5 which has gotten alot of use and alsois left on 24/7. I just started noticing a slight buzzfrom the left channel tweeter along with occasional static/crackle. Kinda like AM radio during a thunderstorm. Obviously not that loud, I n...

Proceed Avp2 problem- jumps to setup menu
Yes, My room is very dry as well. This has happened me. I have DYI equipment rack made with 3/4'' threaded rod. I always try to touch that first. Hasn't been the cause of any serious problems but it sure scares the **** of me. Specially when yo... 
Proceed AVP2 locked up solution ?
Record loop from my Masterlink I'm sure was the cause. Was trying to lay down a bass guitar track when I selected the wrong input. I'm the second owner of the preamp. I did purchase it from a guy before Madrigal changed it's policly. Are you say...

Alesis Masterlink as a CD Player?
Mark, I have upgraded both the CDRW drive and the Hard drive on mine. The new hard drive ( 40 gig ) is much quieter than the original 4.3 gig. I replaced the CDRW because it was having trouble reading disc's and was getting very "picky" about whi...
