    Onkyo TX 330 left channel no sound only hum

    Hello- I picked up a Onkyo TX-330 receiver. When I tested it, the right channel sounded pretty decent, but the left channel only had a loud hum and then blew a fuse. I was thinking it was a transistor and pulled q301-304 on the left channel and they all tested out fine. Could someone point me...

    Pioneer SX770 left channel preamp out hiss

    My SX770 has a hissing noise only heard on the preamp RCA out on the left channel. It is the same volume regardless of how loud the volume is turned, and is present regardless of which input is selected. Any idea which transistor may be the culprit? Everything else works perfectly.
