Title: Eros2 left channel has no sound
Post by: vpeele on June 27, 2023, 10:04:14 AM

  Hello All, The Eros2 has no sound from the left channel. I have a Moreplay Preamp, and Paramount 300b monoblocks. I then power down, disconnect the Eros2, the plug a CD player into the Moreplay and both right and left channels have sound. I connect an old phono preamp(bottlehead) to the moreplay and both right and left channels work. I then disconnect the old phono preamp, and connect the Eros2 back into the system and both channels work. I looked at all the solder points on the Eros2 and I can not find anything off. I think it's time to send the Eros2 in for repairs. When the Eros2 is working it sounds Great. I'll try changing cartridges on my turntable... I don't know how that will help...
 Thanks for all your help in the past.
Cheers,
 van

Hello Van,

The most useful thing to do is to try to capture voltage measurements when the Eros isn't working properly.  That can provide a lot of clues as to why that channel may be dropping.
