RE: Or, perhaps, it is the Buckeye input amplifier to blame?

Buckeye said they acquired an AP and recently posted they no longer have it.

They did not give a reason why they no longer have such a pertinent piece of test equipment. That is a bit troubling and was a validation point for a potential customer such as myself who could box and wire a DIY kit.

For the initial world-wide review, one would assume they would inspect the review sample inside and out.

I was always taught, "Expect only what you inspect", because customers have much better memories when things go wrong than when they go right. I often found that personal inspection practice to not be ubiquitous in corporate/commercial life.

I am concerned about the half power shutdown. The Hypex SMPS can not fully power the 9040, but the amp shut down at half the Hypex SMPS's spec'd max output. It missed the 9040's max output in 2 ways. I hope that issue identified and resolved as well.
