Someone tried repairing this amp before .
They have 10 ohm gate resistors with 3205’S installed are the 10 ohm gate resistors fine or should I use the 47 ohm ?
Also does anyone know what value C60 is ?
It sits behind the LM337 regulator
Also the value of R44 ?
It sits next to the transformer

I leave the 10 ohm gate resistors. Some use 47. Either will work. All need to be the same value.
C60 is the same as C59, 100uF@25.
R44 is 10 ohms.

R44 is 10 ohms.
Do you know what the value is of the gate resistors for the outputs ?
Someone switched them all and I don’t think they are the correct value

I have also seen 22 ohm in there from the factory as well, I have also seen a mix of 15 ohm and 22 ohm from the factory.
Anyone have a schematic for this amp ?

I noticed someone has switched other caps in here to the wrong value and other parts as well so I’m in need of a schematic to figure this amp out since there are a lot of wrong values

In the schematic half the outputs have 15 ohm gate resistors the other half have 22 ohm gate resistors .
Can I use 15 ohm resistors for all of the outputs ?

The 27 ohm gate resistors we’re wrong someone switched them out .
So you would suggest using 15 ohm for half the outputs and 22 ohm for the other half like the schematic says ?

The loading of the drive circuit is different between the 3415s and the 6215s. Maybe the engineers had a reason to use different values... maybe it's just what the modeling told them to use. I'd use what's in the diagram unless someone has a valid reason to use something else.
Ok got the amp all back together .
Powers up and idles fine .
I get +- 12 volts on opamps and get 125 volts of rail measured directly across the black and red wires .
Amp has very low output
Any ideas on what to check ?

Have you operated all pots and switches through their entire range to see if that helped?
Do you have rail-rail oscillation on the outputs?
With the gain and crossover controls fully clockwise and a low frequency drive signal (50-100Hz) of about .25v AC at the RCA jacks, what is the AC voltage at pin 1 of U4?

Yes I operated all switches and pots through the entire range .
I have rail to rail oscillation on the outputs .
On pin 1 of U4 I get 0.80 volts ac

This is what I have on an amp here.
At 0.23v at the RCAs...
0.419v AC at pin 1 of U4
4.32v AC on pin 6 of U17
4.18v AC on pin 2 of U8
All of the above are audio, approximately RMS
On pin 3 of U8...
The 91k triangle waveform that swings about ±5.2v.
This gets a BD1000 just to clipping, no load.

I see the problem .
The whole preamp section has to be rebuilt .
Someone switched all of the values of the resistors in it so none of them match the schematic

Anyone have a high res pic of the preamp section in this amp ?
Wanna make sure the schematic is right since there are different value resistors and there are caps missing in this amp
