Trends TA-10 problem

[audiosteve]

Just an FYI update. I opened up the box and did a visual inspection of the board. There were a few stray solder splashes on it. So I cleaned those up and also retouched most of the solder joints. The amp seems to be behaving well now.

If you are curious try to check the bottom side of the PCB for any shorts. Mine had one of the jumper pins shorted with solder and a whole bunch of bad soldering joints that I had to touch up. I don't think Trends does any visual inspection after the wave soldering process. I even had to reseat the two pots to seat properly flat onto the PCB and one of the lead of the LED wasn't even soldered.

Did you get your amp from Sascha in BC ? maybe he can help

Yer, I am in contact with Sasha and David of Trends Audio to improve quality. I am encouraging them to move to an IPC-A-610 Class 2 standard, that would be a first in the audio industry.

I have a pre-amp from Trends Audio that stopped working a month ago. I've been trying to get support from Trends Audio but have had no luck.

DavidH@ITOK.COM is not returning my e-mails and neither is support@trendsaudio.com

Any advice how I can get support for my pre-amp?

Thanks in advance.
