No music playing at the time . Can you elaborate on "DC on the the amp outputs"?
Why did my amp just crash and burn ?
I just installed a new set of AQ Robin Hood Zero cables. A little hiss sound from the speakers prompted me to adjust the spade connecters just a little on the amp. Then low and behold , the amp just cuts off and currently appears dead as a doornail.
What just happened and needless to say this is an absolute bummer.

@larryi Has it right I was going to post the same thing your spades touched together you should be fine once you get a new fuse in there. |
@gdnrbob The manual says fuse is located on the mains socket. |
Yes, I know. But, sometimes amps have fuses inside for the rails. I tried to Google your amp, but no pics of the insides.
So, if you replace the fuse by the mains, and it still doesn't work, then unplug and remove the cover and look for other fuses. They will probably look like the one on the mains, but probably with different values. While your in there, look at the circuit board and see if there is any signs of damage (like darkened parts or soot, etc). Sometimes a capacitor might have blown. (But, I am of the opinion that you simply shorted out the speaker cables when adjusting- which is no biggie-other than changing the fuse). Bob |
