Hi all,
I've got a Yamaha CR840 that I am using as the receiver in my main listening system. Recently I noticed that there is a crackle of some sort happening in the phono stage. The odd thing is that the crackle is noticeable just after picking up the needle and for a few seconds afterwards, but tends to settle down to no crackle withing 5-10 seconds. The offending sounds is admittedly very low in level. I can only really hear it when I've got the system turned up fairly loud. But then, I do a lot of my listening at pretty decent levels so it is bothersome. I don't hear the sounds on any other inputs. Also, I've tried the same TT plugged into another receiver and no crackle. I suppose I'm guessing that it is a capacitor problem and thinking it's time to a full recap. Just thought I'd throw it out here first to see if any other ideas crop up.
thanks all
Brad
