I have an Eversolo DMP-A10 and am very happy with it. We often listen to the radio (TuneIn). With that, the device is often on for a long time without any manipulations to the device. We have noticed several times that the device switches itself off after a while (several hours). Can you turn that on/off somewhere? Can you set that? Thanks for the feedback.
I found where you can increase the time until shutoff, but nowhere can I cancel it. Repetitive heating and cooling deteriorates components faster, especially capacitors.
Your position is in obvious contradiction with what you did next: you burned in your new DMP-A10 for at least 7 days straight.!! And you sent my opposing position into the jungle along with me and a few other people. Now I tell you: get a grip, man.
Perhaps you misunderstood. I would like to turn off my A10's auto-turn-off because I want it to stay warm always. Understand? I have left my Mark Levinson preamp, Bryston amp, 24k phono preamp and Velodyne sub on for almost 36 years and they have never failed. The potentiometer in the Velodyne wore out and I recently talked to a Velodyne repairman about how much power the replacement 10k ohm pot needs to handle. He said he has never seen such an old Velodyne amp that still has the original power supply capacitors. He agreed that it is because I never turned it off except for moving or rearranging stereo components. I have never waivered from my belief and experience that keeping stereo and computer equipment powered on helps it last longer. Again, repetitive heating and cooling decreases the life of many electronic components. Yes, I complained to you and forum administration about people who ridicule people who hear differences that you cannot. It is not nonsense that others can year what you cannot! Many people's hearing is different and we all have different backgrounds of playing and listening to music. To tell others they are foolish when they post hearing differences is ignorant and rude. Maybe your ears are not very discerning. Tedy, what do you want me to 'get a grip' about?
So, what should I "deal with"? I don't understand your question. I wasn't mocking hearing impairments. I've always pointed out that human hearing has a physiological sensitivity curve. And then there's aging and various ailments, and that's why the 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response is corrected, so everyone can hear as much as possible. That's why I always mock all the idealists of flat, uncorrected sound reproduction who claim it's high-end.
A few basic rules for audiophiles to follow: The lifespan of an audio amplifier depends on operating conditions, component quality, and regular maintenance. The average lifespan of a high-end device is estimated at 10 to 30 years, and with proper care, it can last even decades. Key factors affecting durability: Temperature and ventilation: Overheating is the most common cause of failure. Lack of adequate airflow accelerates component degradation, especially electrolytic capacitors, which dry out over time. Environmental conditions: Moisture: Corrodes internal connectors and risks short circuits. Dust: Dust accumulates internally and acts as a thermal insulator, impeding cooling and can cause signal degradation on connectors. Use intensity: Loud playback: Prolonged operation at the power limit (overdriving) stresses the transistors and power supply, shortening their lifespan. Frequent on/off cycling: Voltage spikes and thermal stresses during start-up are especially damaging to tube amplifiers. Finally, my opinion! It's worth physically disconnecting all hi-fi equipment from the power supply once a week to clean out all potential interference, i.e., electrostatic charges accumulated in various points of the electronics. Personally, I also demagnetize the cores in power supply transformers once a month. This option is available in my PS Audio Power Plant P12, which is powered by 225V (I deliberately set it to the output) and powers all my high-end audio equipment.
Hello everyone , I believe this post is approximately 1 month old give or take, a few thoughts, I have a Accuphase P 300, good amp, I purchased this amplifier in 1973/74 , its been in use here and their throughout the decades of father time, as of todayThe P 300 still operates and performs beautifully however I’m certainly aware there are vast array of parts and other components, in which I am most sure are not up to specification as of now , I’m somewhat surprised as a matter of fact very surprised at its current overall performance as of today, when we measured this amp a few years ago, it measured very well right on point, so when you talk about component longevity, I believe there’s a lot left to be desired in personal opinion it all depends on who manufactured it along with the Selection of esoteric or top of the line Quality parts and components plays an extremely vital roll in its overall longevity. I have tube Mono Blocks that have been turned off and on Probably thousands of times through countless years, again never ever any problems, thankfully, Other than normal tube replacement at very lengthy intervals, Again depends on how it was built the way it was built, and who built it along with excellent parts quality however, this absolutely does not guarantee the amp could not fail, If these amps were to fail after countless years of continuous use I certainly couldn’t complain, however in overall though of leaving electrical devices completely and continuously powered up, I have an extremely inexpensive Vizio 60’in flat screen that has been on and active since 2016/ 24-7 the only time of shut down due to past power outages, perhaps I received a factory Prototype , from a technical standpoint this particular make a model is absolutely not known for its longevity , absolutely not 10 years, Sorry, a little bit off the beaten trail, but go figure that out, idk seriously, note it’s left continuously on for specific reasons, It’s not so much about how long it will last and turning it on and leaving it on , a high school buddy purchased the Accuphase E202 integrated, approximate same time frame and also as of today his E202 remains operating and performing , sounding quite well, I honestly cannot say or even come close to such in regards of today’s, so called and claimed High End Audio Units , yes there are a few I can count them on one hand before I run out of fingers again I am speaking of overall Longevity not becoming obsolete, personally speaking, I’ll Take most of the vintage or older audio equipment along with other devices, no question absolutely the glory days have passed unfortunately , I speak with several folks that are mostly in agreement. Also, I am not speaking of streamers and transports or Devices that come and go every other month in nature, however basically ,absolutely comes down to approximately the same to a certain degree. In all honesty, I somewhat hesitate in comment of , 99% of the time you get what you pay for end of story , I also might add in the long run, it can be certainly well worth it, 1974 to 2026. Approximately, 52 years ago, I certainly, absolutely have zero complaints, the Accuphase P 300 sounds very good in Sonic Quality in comparison to the newer 150 W per channel McIntosh amp someone acquired here not so very long ago, in cost ratio, not inexpensive but absolutely worth it in the long run, and will more than likely excel in appreciation value or at minimum stay as equal in the foreseeable future, Please have a nice and enjoyable weekend along the your music.
Hello all, Sorry to bring up an old thread, but it's been a while since I logged in. So if I'm following this thread correctly, your A10 shuts down (powers off) after several hours? If that is the case, I would like to turn that on with my A10. I was looking for a spot to contact Eversolo support because just recently I returned back from a 2 week trip and found my entire system powered on. I distinctly remembered turning off the system before the flight, and also looking over at my system the morning that I left when I turned off my TV (not connected in any way to my A10 or any audio components). Basically, my A10 is only connected to two 80's era NAD 2200 power amps and two subwoofers that are triggered to turn on via my PanaMax power conditioner. Two days into my trip, some storms rolled through the area, and I figured we probably had a brief power outage. When I came home every thing was powered up (but not playing): and yes, I did confirm that nobody was in my condo while I was away. My bios is: v1.5.60, and the Power Mode Setting is set to "Standby after power plug in" After I double checked everything was OK, turned everything off for a day. Out of curiosity, I simulated a power outage (both with the system off, and system on) by un-plugging the system in the back. To my amazement, when I plugged in the power cord back in, my system booted up fully: triggering the Panamax to turn everything on as documented in my linked video. Where can I set my A10 to turn off by itself after a few hours, where can I post this to for Eversolo support? Thanks, PCR
I posted on the main page for assistance: https://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/dmp-10-on-after-power-outage-assistance-requested.102959/
I double checked, and the video is marked Public on YouTube. It has a few views recorded. The forum is not letting me up load the .mov file. Thanks.
