Hi All.
I am in the progress of renovating a set of Penta's and is now doing the amplifier. I have not yet replaced any components, since the amplifier is "working", that is, it is playing music fine.
However, I normally check the idle current before replacing any components, just to know the state of it before replacing anything.
This amplifier has 0v of idle current... that is not right, and I have never seen that before, so this is new territory for me.
Dillen, helpful as always, has given me small pointers, but off course it is impossible for him to tell me what is wrong.
When the amplifier is cold, then sometimes it goes into protection mode when starting up, after a powercycle it starts and plays fine.
My plan is to do a measure and compare with the other amp, which has the correct idle current, but has anyone seen this issue before, that might could give some pointers as to where I might start to look ?
