Howdy,
I have a pair of old-school Mark Levinson ML-2 power amplifiers. They've worked very well since I've owned them. However, now one of the amps runs much warmer than the other and it automatically turns off after about one minute of use.
Have any of you Class-A amplifier owners come across this before, what was your fix or what should I look at when I open it up? What are the typical culprits of this type of problem. What are the typical culprits that plague the Class-A amps?
I took the amp to a local electronics repair shop and the over the counter estimate was 700-1000 for repair, they didn't even turn it on or hook it up to any equipment . That's out of the question, since they see the name they assume they can charge a whole lot of money.
Any help would be much appreciated.
