Hello to all fellow DIYers
I am hoping someone here can help me with an issue I'm having. I bought a Parasound HCA 3500 about 4 months ago from an estate sale, I was really fortunate to get everything for it, including the packaging, and its in mint condition which is always a plus.
Anyway I just got it set up 2 nights ago since I finally purchased a set of speakers that can handle this beast. My issue is not with sound quality, but with temperature. The left channel runs considerably warmer than the right amplifier does.
I thought at first it could have been the speakers or wire so I reversed them, and the left amplifier is still just as warm as it was before. I havent installed it into my rack yet because I don't want it to overheat. I am hoping someone here can assist me with repairing the unit? I am quite skilled in electronics repair (its what I do everyday
)so that base is covered.
Any help at all will be welcome. I would love to keep this amplifier going for as many years as possible.
