Patrick, that is what Rudy is doing currently.

Rudy: did you proceed as Andrew told you?

Remove the 10R resistors that you have soldered across the fuseholders and insert the recommended fuses.

Leave the input+ connected to GND and do not yet connect a speaker to the AMP.

Switch power on and once more do the required adjustments.
This time without "fuse resistor".
Without it the rail voltage has changed (has become bigger) - this is why.

Watch the AMP a while (several minutes).
Does the quiescent current remain stable?

Then: power off.

Do you have a pair of very cheap speakers?
Do you have a source with volume attenuator?

Do you have a bottle of whisky?

Tomorrow after work I go further than it is weekend and can drink whisky and smoke a cigar;

Tomorrow I do:
1. Remove the 100R resistors soldered across the fuse holders.
2. Leave the input+ connected to GND and do not yet connect a speaker to the AMP.
3. Switch power on and once more do the required 1mv adjustments.
4. power off.
5. Remove the input+ connected to GND and connect very cheap speakers
6. Connect preamp.
7. Power on.
8. Listen to music and make ASAP the other amplifier

Regards,
Rudy

The measurement is done and had the same values.
Am now as far as I have a cheap speaker connected with a preamp.
I get to hear a hum and receive music in the background.
If I touch the large heat sink changed the hum also with the small heat sink.
The output connector of the preamp is isolated the entrance connector of the power amplifier is also isolated.

Please tell me what is wrong, maybe the isolated input connector?

Rudy
 
The Main Audio Ground is the reference point for a whole series of other circuits.


Signal Return
Speaker Return
PSU Zero Volts
Chassis
PCB Power Ground
Disconnecting Network, if fitted

You stated earlier that you had located your Main Audio Ground on the Speaker Return Terminal.
That means you must bring all the other reference connections to that same Terminal.

But, which Speaker Return Terminal do you use? Left or Right?

Andrew that means I must bring all the other (preamp cinc connector) earth/chassis connections to the same GND Terminal to the powersupply.

Regards,
Rudy
