Hello. I have a Kr-4600 with blown outputs. I re-capped the entire amp with new electrolytics. Many of the original electrolytics were bad. I also replaced all transistors in audio section. This amp had batwing style outputs. I replaced them with sankens, 2SC4468 and 2SA1695. I cannot get any bias adjustment on the outputs. The stereo works but I can hear distortion, especially at low volumes. I'm wondering if this amps bias circuit will just not give enough current at idle to start the current flow through the outputs. All new transistors were selected from EchoWars recommendations on other threads. I built a gain tester and matched gains where relevant. Trimmers are new and working. I'm at a loss here. I'm in the middle of switching the outputs to originals to check my theory. Any help or advice I'd be grateful.
