Carver M500-T Amp - Power up the first 30 to 40 seconds no sound.

[Raymond812]

Hello everyone,

I have a Carver M500-T Amp - Power up the first 30 to 40 seconds no sound.
After power up for 30 to 40 seconds. Sound came back with little distortion.

After a minute or two everything back to normal. No distortion.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thank you very much,

Raymond

Leaking capacitors, possibly in the feedback loop, producing a DC offset at the output stage or the mute circuit has a leaky capacitor or a resistor gone high value.
Check C103/104
