It's 5 amp boards. How can you f#@k that up. It's not like they're inventing the amplifier. If you have an amp that is that unstable then it IS an engineer problem. And cables are NOT the right answer. What ya got there is part stereo and part time bomb.
However it does seem that HT amps have an inherent weakness and do seem to toast quickly. Usually due to power issues.
Actually I do remember my advice to a friend, and myself included, was to not sink a lot of money into a HT amp. Because it wasn't going to be around very long. And the friend I told that too did buy an expensive amp. And low and behold two years later - it was a very expensive door stop. But he did acknowledge that I told him that and did replace it with a much cheaper HT amp. Odd - it's been 10 years and he still has it?????
