Tim,
I agree. I'll even accept your insinuation that the failure was mine. I failed to make 100% sure all the vendors were not using my power. I failed to check that after I lost the circuit. I have fixed that end now, with the city folks. They now know the vendors are in no way to use my power. I even went as far as a "first offence= unplugged, second offence= end of cable cut off" letter to the vendors, which also clearly explained why my power needed to be for the stage/sound, as well as exactly where their power was, and how much lenth~cable they needed to bring to reach same. In the end, my failures to make 100% certain my power was not compromised led to losing one circuit, repeatedly..... That said, and this is more my point: the self powered cabs, RF rack, EQ rack, and 01v used to replace the TT24 all fired right back up, while the TT24 did not. I put this into the "DRPA" category. The DRPA, as we all know, has those driver-killing pops if you power it down prior to the amps. The response from dbx has been "don't do that". Well, sometimes shit happens.... In a perfect world, I bet the TT24 would not have given me this particular issue. That said, it was a show, and when we lost power for a sec, the desk failed to restart. I can't rely on the desk as a result. Short sighted on my part?? Maybe. The 01v series has never let me down, not once in 5+ years of use, not one time. Never. Not once....
