hi its a citronic ppx 1200.
I have the schematic, there isn't much in it, I set to work blind. symptoms are distortion on one channel, clip light is coming on. I replaced some electrolytic capacitors whilst I was at it, and replaced both clip section transistors, channel is still distorting. Any ideas, differential input differential driver and 5 mosfets output stage I was going to start on the driver stage replacement, any tips if I am in the right place? oh it also has a debalancing 4580? opamp vol controls are alps blues which are known to go duff. what should I replace that with? for '[best' sound, its a very nice sounding mosfet amplifier, with not much wrong and fairly!!! easy access. rather heavy at 30kg tho thanks |

Can you get access to an osciliscope because this will save a lot of time and guesswork?
You have a good channel to compare, so you if you can scope the amplifier you could easily track down the faulty area. Without a scope you really are trying to fix the amplifier 'blind'. There is no point in upgrading any components untill you have fixed the fault! |
