Aragon 4004 channel dead,

While listeing at loud levels the amp loudly clicked like mechanical switching and sound obviously distorted then nothing from that R channel. All fuses are fine, fixable? Thanks!

We can't give you any more information other than 'take it to a technician.'

It turned out to be leaking capacitors in the power supply. I decided to buy a new amp because my 4004 is about 23yrs old, who knows what else is about to go. I think replacing the caps should be done whether it's the problem or not just as a precaution. If you have a good local repair shop/technician and you have the original 4004 (non MKII), you could have them do an upgrade to MKII status. I was considering doing this but didn't due to my amp's age. I have a website (www.hbassociates.us-004mkIIUpgrade.pdf) that has the instructions and parts list for the upgrade. I think the original MKII upgrade was initiated by Aragon due to some resistors being flammable. Hope this helps.
