Right channel cuts out Please Help

Here is some more information that I wasnt able to fit in my first post. A few minutes later the same thing happened. But this time I did nothing and just pressed stop on the cd player. I pushed play a few seconds later and it was working fine again.

WHAT IS THE DEAL?? The only thing that might be different is that today was one of the first hotter days this amp and cd player have seen. I had to keep the door closed to the room because of some work going on in the house. But I touched the amp and it was fine enough to not have move my hand off the heatsinks.

Last night I listened to the amp for about 40 minutes and an hour and a half using my headphones. The amp never cut out and worked perfectly fine.

Today I am going to change the interconnect cables to my new cardas.

So it has happened 2 times all together. I am hoping it may be because of a heat problem, or a cable. It seems strange for such a new amp to have capacitor problems. Since there are 4 caps per channel, wouldnt it be rare for all to fail? Maybe it is because I leave the amp on 24/7. One thing that is strange is that I had turned the amp of the night before this happened for the second time within the last 4 months...

I suggest to inspect the ground path throughout all components interconnects and speaker wires for quality connection.

Also if you have three-prong powercord try using a cheater plug (from RadioShack) as your right channel shut-
down may be caused by the ground noise believe it or not.

Follow up with us.

I have unplugged all cables, re-plugged them in. I have changed my interconnect cables to some Cardas. It has done it 5 times since. It doesn't stay cut out for long enough it seems to get my headphones, plug them in and check to see if they are doing the same. But I was able to check different sources, a cd player and a DVD player. The right channel still was cut out no matter what source.

What is the deal!!

I've had the same problem, but with the left channel of my Creek amp. The next time you get the same cut-out in the right channel, try connecting headphones and changing the music source. If the right headphone channel is still out, it's certainly not the speaker cables and probably not the ICs. Try pushing the power cable into the amp as hard as you can, hold it for a few seconds and see if the channel comes back. I tried it and my left channel came back to life, so I then tried using the stock power cable that came with the amp and it worked perfectly. The problem may be that the female IEC connector in the power cable is not tightly gripping the prongs of the amp. When the amp draws lots of current, the prongs heat up and the connection may be loosening. I live in NYC and all electrical wiring is already grounded under Code requirements, so I don't think it's a ground loop problem for me. I'm going to try disassembling the IEC connector assembly of my "high end" cable myself and tightening the connection. (Perversely, it's usually the "high end" component that causes the problems.) I hope it works. In any event, try using a basic power cord, like Radio Shack or your stock cord, and see if you still have a problem.
