OK, on more testing, there may still be a problem.
In one channel, when on, the voltage drop across the emitter resistors at idle is about 2mV, and it remains stable.
On the other channel, the one I just fixed, the emitter resistor voltage drop starts at around 3mV, but slowly creeps up as it stays on, just sitting there, up to 17mV when I turned it off.
I have not replaced the differential pairs in either channel or the next transistor Q405. All other transistors on the driver board have been replaced, plus the output pairs.
I think you have to order Q405/Q406 from McIntosh. Then there is the temperature compensating diode on the heatsink.
Where would you suggest I direct my attention next?
