The Who - Eminence Front

Looks like you will be well on your way on all counts! Excellent! Actually, I'm not acquainted with Marksound. Is he a member here?

Actually I saw jazzman’s videos on YouTube, contacted him, he told me about this site... we are already talkin’ i sent the C1 to marksound in Schaumburg I’ll,, it was an eBay “purchase”. He’s handy with a soldering iron I can confirm that very clean shiny solder cones. I did clean up flux on both pieces I was always anal about flux residue. I do think the flux was 1980’s vintage, it was on components not related to the updates.

Marksound is the company name, Bernie is the guy I was emailing.... no clue if he is a member of the site

E-statics? Get together with Charlie (jazzman53) He's got DIY covered on that front! Who did you send the C1 to?

Bought the C1 on Craigslist for $75 and sent it out to get the BillD mod done. Was traveling a lot at the time and didn’t really have hobby time then. Found the M200t on EBay and it had just been refreshed. Paid a premium for that but felt it was worth it. The project I would like to tackle is building a set of electrostatic speakers. That one speaks to me

Hey Pat, welcome to the circus. Often it's the little things that can trip us up. Hopefully cleaning the controls did the trick! Curious here: How did you end up with a BillD C1 and a rebuilt M200t. Did you do the upgrades?

Been several days with no overload, not claiming victory yet but looking promising. I was a Fire Controlman in the navy years ago and worked on gun and missile guidance radars and computers (taught Radar for a few years also) made a career out of working on aviation automation, navigation systems maintenance. My world has moved on to software so the old component level troubleshooting is a bit rusty 🤨. I was convinced it was the amps protection circuit but at the load side of the amp. When I read the thread about C1 tone controls causing a overload condition in the amp, the lightbulb went off. On a side note, since cleaning the pots, there is a noticeable difference in the clarity of the system . Another ahah moment those pots needed cleaning period. I do feel compelled to use the tone controls with my magi MMG’s, they are a bit bright to me and the bass is lacking. They need a bit of EQ IMHO. The MMG’s sonically disappear in the room. The C1 with the BillD mod is amazing not a hint of unwanted noise.

Welcome aboard, Pat Charlie in Savannah

Welcome to the Party !! Glad you already found threads that may help. The information here is incredible..., almost unbelievable. Welcome.

Pat, I never use tone controls on my C-1, I always leave the tone switch in the out(disabled) position. And when my daughter turns them on(She loves the bass) I can instantly tell because the bass loosens up on my music so I immediately turn it off. Try turning off the tone controls if you suspect there is a problem in that circuit. Just thinking out loud.

Welcome Aboard @Pat Adams!!!

Welcome!
