I played through an HDN212 recently...rich, deep, and not back breaking ;)


I bet you'll love it.

But did you try lifting it, Greg?  Their weight (or lack thereof) is as amazing as the sound.

Update...got the head and cabinet back from the tech last week...repair tag pics are attached, maybe some of you more technical minded folks can sort out what may have happened.

Not sure what my path forward is for this..It is a nice sounding head and cabinet combination, but the DI is still noisy despite the techs claims (and storeowners claims) it was "normal" noise.  There was a very noticeable hum coming from the DI when plugged into an amp (california blonde) in the store and at my house.  In contrast, the DI out on both my Demeter Bass 400 and Mesa D800+ were much quieter.  No idea if this was the noise that various sound guys had complained about before (I never thought to go listen to see what they were hearing unfortunately).

Not sure if Im going to try and sell this privately, trade it in, or keep it for use as a beater rig.

Hard to say what happened without a list of replaced components. DI hum could be due to ground looping problems, although I'm assuming you tried the ground lift on the Eden so probably not. I'm guessing the failure of one power amp led to DC going to your speakers, which will smoke them real good real fast.

Eden DI's are known to be sensitive to out of spec phantom power from mixing consoles. Whether bad phantom power could have caused a cascade to the main power section I don't know without a schematic and knowing what was replaced. It is due to this that I use a passive isolation box when running to mixing consoles other than my own. I own the ART DTI unit. It has worked well for me without breaking the bank.
