Dear all,

My sansui 999 has a problem since I acquired it in 5 years ago. I recapped it already in 4 years ago and change all small transistors recently for all broads (except the speaker protector) but the problem still exist.

The problem is that

1. when I select bass selector from 400 to 200, it will have a pop sound.

2. Longer time of keeping in 400, higher the pop sound it will be when switch to 200. If i switch from 200 to 400 and turn it back to 400 inmediately or after a few min, the pop sound is very very low.

3. No problem at all if I switch from default to 200, 200 to 400 or 200 to default

Can anyone give me a hint to troubleshoot this?
 
I'd think it was a bad or reversed capacitor that is allowing DC to pass. Maybe a (green) film cap that is failing.
BTW - a really great amp - especially with the various (kevzep) mods.
