OK so it could be Power amps, transistors, regulators, dry joints, all sorts. Did it just go dead one day or was there an intermittent stage. Probably a stupid question but have you swapped the inputs (left / right) to ensure it is not the source and have you swapped the speaker outputs to ensure it is not the speakers / cables?

Yeah tried multiple inputs, radio/cd/tape/aux and tried multiple speakers on multiple outputs with original cable and new stuff. It was a gradual decrease not sure exactly but it's suspected it started after one New Year's Eve party with heavy usage haha

Lost all treble initially if I remember rightly and clarity. Mid and sub where still there.

hmmm this thread has reminded me that up in my loft I have my component hifi stashed away, not used for 12+ years, a Quad 405/2 amp and 34 pre-amp with a Rega Planar 3 turntable and two Teac cassette decks.

From memory I looked at selling them years ago, a specialist hifi shop in Leicester at the time recommended an independent dealer in old kit who also serviced stuff. I'll have a dig around.

Dude, you should get that kit out and playing.

Cheers for the link dude, unfortunately that's where my knowledge and courage ends with electronics haha I'll keep it though as it could prove valuable!


I agree with Marc as well, get the gear out! [emoji4]
