problem with NAD 325 BEE AMP
dear sirs,
of late i have been spooked by a problem with my amps.
i have no clue as to what is happening so i would really appreciate it if you could kindly take some time out to enlighten me on what is going wrong here.
THE PROBLEM
(i) About a fortnight ago, i found that my system (amp, cd player, speakers) was playing fine when suddenly the sound went very soft. i cranked up the volume and could make out some faint hint of music from the speakers. i put the power off, changed CDs, tried adjusting the cables etc. Now the sound came alright but then i realized only one speaker was playing, the other was as soft. intrigued i just shut the system off and went to sleep.
next morning, hoping for the best, i put the system on and then lo behold it played alright.
(ii) But then just this evening the problem repeated. the sound just went very soft. i tried the same ritual (putting the power off, changing cds, readjusting cables and interconnects etc) as before but this time it was as if the system had just clamped itself shut.
(iii) then as i let the system off for about half an hour and put it again, the sound was alright.... but my joy was short lived because in a few seconds it was as if the everything was again shutting off and there was just a whisper of Herbie Hancock from the speakers.
I am absolutely a novice in these matters so I have no clue as to how to diagnose this problem let alone think of any solutions.
The only thing i can say is that i have never had this problem for the past two years even though the voltage in my area has always been fluctuating.
I would be very grateful if someone could kindly figure out what i need to do so that i can get back to listening music again.
Thanks for your patience
