Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Does seem to be breaking contact when pressure applied/removed.

Cover off helps connectivity. Back on physically missaligns it. Can be a solder joint or even a pcb trace that makes/breaks connection. Or just about any internal connection in the area between pre and power amps.

I'm not sure how much to ask you to try versus having a tech look at it.


Next steps would include poking and prodding with the power on. I've had much sucess over the years with friend's and my own equipment. Even trouble shooting by turning the lights off and watching for sparks in the dark when I push and prod. (Sometimes you have to put away the multimeter and be a little unorthodox!)

Would be going into dangerous territory with the power on.

Again, a tech with a schematic might be best.

Sorry the cleaning didn't work.
