I have a GK 700RB II that has a slight thump/pop at output as the mute relay turns on. At amp power on there is -0.082VDC at output and after the mute relay kicks over the output goes to +0.064VDC. It's not a terrible thump, just a slight DC sound, not close to damaging drivers. Does this sound normal? It just seems strange to me that the circuit utilizes a mute relay and there is still a little DC sound once the relay kicks over.
Second question - bias pot, what would be an appropriate place to measure bias in this circuit? It is R28 in the schematic.
EDIT - I now see there is a two pin header labeled BIAS. I have 10mV across that, does that seem normal? I have the service manual for the original 700RB and that says to set the bias pot to read 5mV across the header.
