A few months ago I encountered something strange with my amplifiers.
One day I when changed the interconnects between my preamp and power amp, a very loud mid-frequency tone came out from the speakers. After the tweeter was replaced, I tried those devil interconnects once more. To my expectation, oscillation occurred!! I suspected they were highly capacitive. Then I measured the capacitance of 3 pairs of interconnects: A- (200pF) Stable, sounds the best B- (160pF) Triggers very loud oscillation C- (70pF) Stable, sounds a bit too bright That's strange~ The most capacitive one was the best, and it's stable too!! I am still muddled... Post here to find out which part I should blame. Which amp was actually oscillating, pre or power? And why would the medium capacitive pair introduce oscillation?

Try a series resistor in the preamp outputs, maybe 47 to 100 ohms. I've seen that suggested with some op-amps to improve stability. (I need to add those to a line driver I built which also oscillates with long cables, but at inaudible frequencies).
