Bartokfan apparently wasn't very well brought up. Sad.
I've got the identical set of gear running two pairs of speakers as I type. Absolutely reliable performance, for what, decades now? I do have to clean the volume pot on the 1020 fairly regularly, and the source switches occasionally, maybe every couple of years. Oh -- the "Tape" button got funky once, and needed to be cleaned -- that was causing no joy when I was playing CD's. The 2150 has never needed anything.
Hosfeld, take it one step at a time, and check things one step at a time. If you have a small set of speakers to set next to the amp, it might be helpful hook them up and just check, check, check. It'll take a little time -- be patient. Pull and clean wires and jacks as necessary.... one step at a time.
