    RX-495 Issue

    Hello Everyone, I purchased my RX-495 back in 1997. It has been flawless until 2024 when it would suddenly "click" and turn off, either at low or high volume. It is sensitive to vibration. Something as little as putting my coffee cup on the desk can trigger it to turn off. Sometimes the...

    Hi guys, I've had this amp for a number of years and never had an issue. Recently sometimes upon powering up the relay wouldn't click and hence no sound output. Turning it off and on again would fix it. Then it became progressively worse. Once it was on and I had sound, the sound would stop...
