Title: strange.....
Post by: proud indian on August 06, 2012, 06:45:41 PM

Presently, I am doing up my new listening room and I am 90% done. I had the system on from Saturday afternoon onwards, as I needed the power line to break in. I have put in new house wiring and also new sockets etc.
On Sunday afternoon, suddenly one channel dies for a few seconds and comes back. I swapped the IC on the channels and everything was fine.Thinking it could be the IC, I changed them with another set. A few hours later, I heard a slight distortion on the right channel, which again went dead for a few moments and came back to life. No problem since and both channels are working perfectly fine. What could be the problem?
Thanks

Most likely an intermittent connection. Usually there is a mechanical connection, which drifts with temperature stresses. Usually a cold solder joint, sometimes just a bad -or dirty - socket connection, rarely something inside  a tube.

Thanks.... I will check for a bad solder.
