Long story short
I was selling/demonstrating my "old" amp and I connected it to the same speakers as my AU-717, just with another pair of wires that had banana plugs on them.
Before letting the music play for the buyer I forgot to turn off the Sansui and I noticed that it went into protection mode. He was "playing" like that for maybe a minute or so, I don't know. No smoke or funny smells.
After the old amp went with the new owner I switched Sansui back on and it came out of protection just normal. The only problem was music went only through one channel.
I quickly switched to direct coupled amp only and still music coming only through one channel.
Checked for BIAS and offset on both channels. Working one was in spec while the other was off(don't remember the numbers).
How bad is it? Where should I start...are things damaged on working channel as well, just not that bad?
Please help.
(recapped it this summer)
