Hello,
This is my first post. Thanks in advance for your advice.
I have a BGW 250D with an odd issue. In order to get it to power on and be functional, I have to pull the speaker wires out first, turn it on, and wait for the relay to click. Otherwise, it will either not produce sound from the left channel or else emit a loud screeching noise.
Once I get the relay to click on, I can reconnect the speaker wires and turn it on without a problem. The relay clicks again, and everything sounds amazing. In fact, this is the only amp that I have found which actually makes my AR speakers sound proper other than my (currently not working) AR AU.
I pulled out the relay, and the connections don’t appear corroded (in fact everything looks perfectly brand new inside - which is impressive for a 40 year old pro amp).
Any thoughts on why the relay would not work initially, but will do so after an initial start without speakers? Thanks.
