Help: Something wrong to my amp???

Excuse me if I've read this wrongly, but are you saying that the image was center before you sent the CA201 for repair and it is now off-center since the CA201 has been returned..? If this is so, then double-check the CA201. Regards, Richard.

Try double-checking the polarity on your speaker cable connections on the back of the amp; it's easy to get it wrong with some Classe' amps.

hi,
Abtract7 was right. The problem is the cable (XLR). The image is now right on the center after I changed the IC connecting from preamp to amp. Talked to the manufacture this morning and they told me to send the cable for repair.
Thanks for your help

That's great that you found the problem, Worldcup. It's kind of funny to me that this was your problem. As a matter of coincidince, i just got some cables in today that i had purchased. As a matter of "routine inspection", i always measure cables for basic electrical characteristics and to make sure that they are okay before hooking them up. As it turns out, one of the two cables measured very poorly. After taking them apart, i found a very poor connection that resulted in a 500% increase in impedance !!! While i don't know if the person that owned these tried to repair the cables and screwed up or if that's how he got them, all i know is that the average person would have thought that there was something DRASTICALLY wrong with their sound and performance. Who knows, maybe that's why the guy that i bought them from sold them !?!?!?! Either way, it was easily corrected and like you, all is well now. Hopefully, our similar problems might help others diagnose nagging problems that they too have never been able to pinpoint. CHECK YOUR CABLES... : ) Sean

Check your cables first! I also blamed my classe CA-200, three years ago, got a new CA-200, did not work, got CA-400 did work intermittently. Then I doubted my preamp. One day when it happened, I happened touch my balance cable by mistake, and what do you know, it turned out to be bad XLR connection on one of my straight wire cable. I fixed it and it is been no problem eversince. It took 3 years and two upgrades to get there. On retrospect, I guess it was good lesson learned and also , I got the bigger and powerful amp, as result.
