My beautiful repaired amp now doesn't produce music....the relay does not click when going from standby (green) to on (blue) and there is no sound. Tried swapping inputs it is a power amp problem not a preamp problem.

I think I'm heading for a divorce. The Ayre link cannot be so problematic, meanwhile I'm kind of in a bad place now. waiting to hear from Ayre.....again.

Super frustrating...I feel for you. I am not an expert but my suggestion is to first try to get sound going again so you can at least listen to music. I would unplug all Ayrelink connections for now. Then I would unplug amps and let them fully discharge. The light will turn violet and eventually go out. Then plug both back in and see if you can manually turn on each amp and get music. I hope that at least gets you music while this other issue gets resolved

On ayrelink....my understanding is it's just a basic two line phone cable. Check to ensure there are four pins. I would first just plug one between amps to see it that works. Both should power up when you turn on one of the connected amps....and by pressing and holding power for two seconds they should both go to standby. If that works....than plug one ayrelink from KXR to one of the open amp connections. Good luck....
