This amp came to me because of an intermittent cutting off problem. The friend who owns this amp had already taken it to 2 repairs guys and the problem still persisted. It plays great but on occasion the sound would cut out completely and then come back. The LED power on indicator remains on when the sound cuts out. So far I've reflowed all the solder joints on the 1st PCB of the power amp. This did not solve the problem. That didn't surprise me, being that the amp still is powered up when it's cut out. Speaker wires seem stable and secure. There are 3 PCBs in this amp and they are connected together with connector plugs. I've found it very difficult to work on this amp in general because of the way the 2 of the PCBs are attached to the top of the cabinet and the PT is mounted inside the speaker cab. (As I'm writing this I'm thinking of other ways to deal with this problem)Aaaanywaay, my latest theory is that its the connector cables. Has anyone come across this type of issue with these or similar amps?
Now I've tried using silicone to stabilize the connectors and also I wrapped the whole on connector with a wire tie and so far it's not cutting out.
Is there a better way of making these connectors more stable,(if in fact this is the problem)? I keep asking myself if I should just change them out all together.
thanks
