| crackling sound out of right speaker Lewm, you may very well be right. Here's the odd thing. I haven't noticed any crackling noise in the Sonic Frontiers Amp recently although there's still a hum which is a ground loop. The reason the rogue quit working, the fuse in the amp blew. | |
| Best tube amp for $2000 or less Thanks JMCGrogan2. Admittedly I was a bit vague. I would like to keep with tubes ultimately. New would be preferred but if I found a used piece that was in good condition, I would take it and yes best is subjective.Thanks | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker I had one of the tech's out today and they seem to think that the issue is a ground loop of some sort, we found a hum coming from the speakers, unfortunately we weren't able to narrow it down to what specifically it could be.I also did try to wigg... | |

| crackling sound out of right speaker Lewm; agreed I believe it is fixable but quite frankly I'm a bit tired of messing around with it. I have had the amp in the shop and they said that nothing's wrong with it. I am sort of at my wits end with it, It's a great amp, considering the iss... | |

| crackling sound out of right speaker I am going to be working with the deal on this issue. And to ansswer Lewm's question, I physically switched left & right speaker cables, also switched cables alltogether so I think something is going on with the speaker. | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker I did some more troubleshooting prior to bringing my equipment in and the issue moved to the left channel when I swapped left and right speaker cables, I guess we'll see what happens when I get my equipment back. | |

| crackling sound out of right speaker I'm going to try moving some power cables that may be causing RFI/EMI and see what happens. Assuming that doesn't work, I'll reach out to my local dealer and see what they can do.Thanks for all the great information and suggestions. | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker Almarg, at the amp, I switched the left and right speaker cables so basically, left is right and vice versa. | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker Hi Marakanetz, I'm not going to jerk it up and down, however I did adjust the volume and didn't notice any difference. I don't have a replacement preamp or receiver, I'm going to be bringing both the preamp and amp into the shop for testing. | |
| crackling sound out of right speaker Zd542 to answer your questions.No I didn't swap IC's, just the speaker cables.I believe that I hear it from both the midrange & tweeter.I hear the noise both when I have the volume all the way down and when the volume is up, however it seems m... |
