Revolver of Vinyl
Hello Sansui lovers. I just scored my second AU-9500. I was foolish enough to let the first one go. I'm determined not to repeat the mistake!
I get it home, hook it up and I get VERY loud trash out of the left channel, static like noise.
I disconnect the left speaker.
The right channel is fine. I adjust the volume and all other pots and switches and there is no static at all. Doesn't look like a quick fix for deoxit. As you can imagine, I was immediately bummed out.
So I tried the left channel with A, B, C and headphones. Nothing but extremely loud static with the volume all the way down.
Next, I pulled the Pre-Out Main-In jumpers out. Hooked my computer into the main in and just used the amplifier section, completely bypassing the pre amp. Slowly turned the volume up on the computer and played a song off iTunes. Both channels are nice and clear.
The issue, I figure, must be in the pre amp section. The amplifier is fine. I put the jumpers back in and hook everything back up and test it. As soon as I hear the relay click, the super loud garbage comes out of the left channel.
Anyone out there have an idea of what's going on here?
