Hi all,
My c85 preamp has started playing up a little today. I've had the stereo balance set off to one side as I've been working in the room and don't sit in the proper listening position. When I've centred the balance again, the channel I had turned down was then almost twice as loud as the other and sounded harsh and overdriven. After a minute or so there's a bit of crackle and it returns back down to its regular level. But it's done this twice today. Muting and tone bypass work as expected but don't affect this issue when its happening. Is this likely to be a dirty balance, volume or loudness pot or something more sinister?
I'll give a proper blast with the deoxit if I get a minute. Hopefully that sorts it.
Cheers
James
