100W Ultimate Fidelity Amplifier

@panggih

This is wiring I use for AX14,
See red wire, this is different from SR200 connection.

Uh Oh!

So the 2 fuses blew on one of the boards. Replaced and started poking around with the multimeter and now I have 12.6V on BOTH outputs!!!

The output transistors all seem to test fine - could the inputs be blown now?

Not sure what caused the fault but the bias seems to adjust properly on both channels...

The 12.6V is on BOTH the input and the output...

UGH!

Do you connect GND from PSU to amp input (red line)?

All right...I disconnected the input ground wire to the PSU ground but kept the input ground to star ground. Another wire from input ground to PCB input ground.

Now the amp again is very silent.

I had a bad trace on the mje15031 and was not getting a signal...

I am glad to report back that bias, humm, and sound are all back under control.

OK, can you post pictures?

try only running input ground to chassis star ground and to PCB ground.

It helped with my setup and DC offset is less than 10mV.

Board ground and speaker ground go to PSU "ground" point.

! wire goes from PSU ground point to chassis star ground and earth ground from power inlet goes to chassis ground.

No hummm/buzz anymore.
 
Mr. Mile,

This gonna be my next project to follow, please let me know if you found an error.

Thanks...

Hi Cerna,
I noticed there was an error on the PCB track that you created in post 1798, this I include the correction
Regards Denmas;)
