Hello everyone and happy Easter holiday. I wanted to pick your brains about an Accuphase P-300 that I recently acquired. The unit has two relays (one on each side of the amp close to the front).
The relay on the left (behind the power switch) clicks like crazy when the amp is cold or when I power it up cold for the first time.
The faulty issue causes the speakers to engage & disengage but the clicking fault goes away as the amp warms up. I had an Onkyo receiver once with a similar problem and discovered that the problem was caused by a bad capacitor close to the power supply.
I cleaned the relay and filed it with a nail file and the amp improved a little, however the problem remains, but now on a lesser scale. I am thinking in recapping the entire power supply ( and prolly the amp drivers while I am it ) and see if the problem resolves. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
