Problem with Onkyo A-8500 (Integra) Amplifier
Hello,
After 19 years playing music very well, my Onkyo A-8500 (Integra line) amplifier has problems especially when it's cold (just powered-on). The speakers level is low and there is distortion. Switching from the Speakers pair A to the B and back to A can lead to a different result (better or worse output). I think that the problem could be caused by a relay that is used to switch the speakers pair that need to be replaced. The series resistance of the bad contatcs that is added to the load can be the cause of the distorsion. I see two relays in the middle of the amplifier (they seem to be protected from dust/humidity) and a small one on a hardly accessible little board related to speaker pair switching (!). The last one may be not so protected from external agents (transparent cover). So, the questions: - Have you the schematic / service manual of the Onkyo A-8500? - Do you agree with me when I blame the small relay? Best Regards and MERRY CHRISTMAS Panino |
