Title: One Channel Lower In Level/Volume
Post by: DD84 on May 27, 2025, 08:32:55 PM

Hello,

First time build here. All resistance checks have been passed. Voltage checks pass. Both LEDs light up. But the right channel is lower, and there is crackling at around 75% volume potentiometer position. Could this all be around the potentiometer? Or the RCA inputs? Output jack? Or somewhere else?

Thanks,

Daryl

I would reheat all of the solder joints in the amp other than the power switch and where the LEDs are soldered to let the solder flow out again.
