Need advice. Any help appreciated.
Bought Pioneer SA 8800 amp from ebay, it arrived yesterday, it played for a hour and it sounded wonderfull.
After a hour I turned it of and on again but when it came back on, there was no sound and the wattage meters are not moving, the speaker relay clicks on but the speakers are dead.
Ive used a marantz 1060 amp and used the preout mains in to test the pioneer, when feeding a preout from the 1060 to mains in on the pioneer the wattage meter moves and a very distorted sound comes from the speakers.
If I use the pre out on the pioneer to mains in on the marantz, I get nothing, the meter doesan't move and the speakers are dead.
The seller has given me a part refund £125 to get the amp repaired localy, just hope it doesant cost a lot more than that.
Perhaps I should have sent the amp back to him, but its in prestine condition, best Ive ever seen.
