Amplifier problem


Please help:

I have a problem with my amplifier - one resistor (R47) got loose, the technician soldered it, all tubes are working, I can hear the music, but in a 3-5 minutes there is a buzzing (or, rather, scratching) sound from the right speaker, after which I switch the amp off.

Before the damage, the amp cooled down rather quickly (after 5-10 minutes all KT88 tubes were cool), and now only one output tube gets coolo quickly, while others remain hot for approx. 20 - 30 minutes (like in Cary SLI-80). All fuses are OK. The amp is Unison Research Sinfonia.

I tried other quads, but in approx. 3-5 minutes of operation one of them became hot red in the plate. The technicial could not identify the problem. I reported the situation to the manufacturer, but so far did not receive a reply.

I will appreciate all recommendations.

I'm not sure what answer you are looking for. Your amplifier is broken. It needs to be repaired.

Most tube amps are very simple circuits. The reasons why tubes overheat are also very simple. If your technician can't find a problem then you need a new technician.
