LPA-1 Channel Failure

[petvan]

Hi all,

My old yet steady LPA-1 has recently taken to failing the second channel on power-up from time to time. Usually a power cycle fixes this. I'm curious if there is anything I should look into or maybe it's just showing its age.

Thanks,

Pete

Anyone have any ideas?

probably either a bad cap or cold solder given that age of that amplifier

I'd throw my impressive weight towards a cold solder joint more than the bad cap, BUT, the caps are "due" for a refresh - doesn't mean they need it but it's worth investigating.
