Has anyone had this problem and does anyone have a cure?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I've run into older amps (Crowns, especially) that like to make random popping or thumping sounds from the speakers even with nothing connected to the inputs.  |  IP: Logged Richard Condie Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Windsor, NSW, Australia Registered: May 2009 posted 06-26-2009 01:07 AM                     This is also caused by dry points on the caps on older amps  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-26-2009 05:47 PM                     DTS had alot of problems with one of the power supplies failing in the 6AD and I suspect that it is beginning to fail. Perhaps Mike Smith would chime in on this....

I know you love those QSC amps we have lol  |  IP: Logged Rod Cornelison Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Jonesboro,AR./ Craighead ,USA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 07-02-2009 10:22 PM                     Don't tempt me with your shiney trinkets!!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-03-2009 10:04 AM                     He'd be far better off with the QSC's then he would with the Crowns!!! I've seen so many Crowns(red face model) not worth the cost to repair that it's sick. There are some Crown amps that can ONLY be repaired by replacing the entire pcb... Crown won't even repair them unless they replace the entire pcb... now that gets you to about double the used market value of the crown amp. Ha... I always replace those blown Crowns with QSCs! QSCs if they do fail which is rare are an easy fix either in the field or in the shop. Mark  |  IP: Logged
