I just finished re-capping two CA-1010's, except for about maybe 4 caps which look like you have to take the face of the unit off to reach. Set bias as best I could, and measured DC offset.
offset for 'quieter' amp: R channel: 18mv, L channel -2.2mv
Is it okay for this particular amp to have a neg. offset value? The other amp doesn't have negative values in either channel.
As a side note, even before recapping, I noticed that one amp was louder than the other, and that the meters on the front would show less power was being used when compared to the other CA-1010. Does this explanation make sense? Basically I have to crank the knob quite a bit more on one amp to get to the other one's output level...anyone have ideas as to where to start troubleshooting?
