Hello, now I encountered a problem with my poweramp, recently I reterminated my 4.5m Naim Naca5 speaker cables and cut it down to around 2.6m. It was working entirely fine until I decided to increase the volume more to 10watts on the meters. Then, it decided to go red on me until the volume knob is lowered. Previously I had met this problem with my old pre and raspberry Pi combo where the Pi is too close to the pre and it is intereferring with the pre but this time the Pi is well far away from the analog units and there is a new addition to my setup, a Yamaha C-2a pre.
There is also another example with a pair of 3m Canare 4S11 where above 10watts it gone red on me, same case as my shorter naim cable. Before then, with the 4.5m cable, it is working fine while able to push up to 50watt average and 100watt Peak just for short burst of high vol music. There is also a faint buzzz sound time to time from the tweeter when my ears are right next to it when there is no music but would not increase with the volume. Note, both my preamp and poweramp has been fully serviced and the poweramp has been entirely working perfectly until the shortening of the existing speaker cable. I hooked up my oscilloscpe to it aswell and there is nothing strange about it. Please do provide some assistance, thank you very much!
