Title: does this sound like output caps?
Post by: jasperok on February 02, 2009, 06:35:29 am

my trusty trace is suddenly untrusty!
when i turn on from ice cold sound is perfect for 5 - 10 minutes, then fizzles out sounds weak and fuzzy, almost like a static and reverb chamber mixed tofether especially the sound of the splutter/fizz  when you switch it off - you wont get volume aain unless you leave it for at least 24 hours then you'l get the 5 mins again....

does that sound familliar to anyone?

sounds like something is causing it to overheat.
