Need assistance on this resistors found in KAV-300IL

I bought and old KAV-300IL. Open up the amp and found this repairs done. Its 2 x Dale 5ohm resistors soldered across the 10ohm AMD resistor. I don't quite understand whats it for. Because 10ohm dale and 10ohm SMD resistor in parallel would become 5ohms. Found it across 3 10ohm SMD resistors....


would need some assistance on whats it for??

If the manuals are that hard to get and yes I tried too then what is stopping Escku digging out his trusty multi-meter and tracing where they go to ?


In this way he can build up a picture of the circuit , its been done many times before and there are some design engineers who get curious as to why somebody hides a schematic and do a bit of reverse engineering .


I know a couple of Scandinavians who have done it , they got quite enlightening results even better than reading Agatha Christie as its more hands on and revealing.



It should be a clue that the components are near ( I take it ) large output devices as copper on PCB,s doesn't usually jump over other parts of the circuit .


Krell DVD schematics are available in the USA at a cost of $20

Hi thanks. I have measured and the SMD resistors were fried. So the 2 x 5ohm was soldered over to replace the SMD ones. So, its not a mod.
