Naim NAP 135 with Ultrasonic Oscillation

This amp has a 4Mhz oscillation on its output at all times. How do I fix that?

Bootleg schematics: Amp Circuit

Voltage Regulator

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is R32 open? Over by the output.

otherwise, does it pass signal?

No, it measures OK.

Yes, it passes signal, but with the 4Mhz wave riding the output. It was shutting down when used.

Oh well, no easy points today.

Does this amp have a preamp or is it a plain vanilla power amp like the schematic? Is the 4MHz present at R3? Is it riding the rails? That power supply is some serious overkill, but its complexity could make it unstable, are the rails clean?

All those little caps hung all over it are there for stability, so check them.

It's just a power amp, basically a $3500 power amp.

Bingo, you got it. Yes, it's all over the rails.

As above, no.

Well, it was caps after all. I replaced all of the electrolytics in the supply --C101, 201, 105, and 205, and that did the trick.

Thank you so much! Is there a charity that I can donate to for you? Enzo, you're the man!

Buy me a burger next time I see you.


Or, if you are in the mood, pop a donation to tboy to help support this terrific place he runs. Isn't there a donate button on the home page or something. We all should do that anyway from time to time.
