Title: My amp just shit the bed...
Post by: Tim on October 06, 2004, 12:45:27 PM
Went to listen to some music yesterday and I'm getting nothing.

Amp powers up just fine.
All of the lights come on.
No sound from the speakers, A or B
No sound from the headphone jack.

I've unhooked everything and rewired it all.

It's not on mute or anything of the sort :P

I switched out fuses (the original was ceramic which means you can't see if it's blown ::) ) and still nothing.

anyone have any thoughts?

I'm pretty close to giving it a swift quick :P

at this point I may just go out and buy the Sony Amp I was planning on putting the proceeds of this towards.

Jonny - I'll give you a good deal on this amp now ;)

it's integrated so just one volume...

and I plugged into the headphone jack on the da20 and everything is a-okay. The dvd and dat machine are giving me nothing and I've switched inputs a few times each.

weird...

Just talked to the guy at ListenUp!

he says there's a short somewhere, probably on the amp side but with the headphone jack not working he's not positve. Switching components (which is what this will take) will cost $150-200 and it will be 2 weeks before the technician can even look at it and give me an estimate.

fantastic... ::)

Cherry Creek audio took it in today for $30 (10 less than ListenUp) and will diagnose it tomorrow. Wouldn't give me a loaner though because I didn't buy from them.
