Extreme low volume.


Hi, I have a stereo system that has worked fine for approx. 10 years. One day I turned on the system and I heard nothing. I turned the volume 100% and heard the radio as if it was turned to the lowest setting on the volume control. My first inclination was to change out the amplifier(2) and preamplifier(1) with a different amplifier (6). In doing that I received the same results. Next, I used some speakers from another system and still the same. Then I tried the CD player for a change of music source to both pairs of speakers. Still, same results. That is why I am writing to you now. Here is my existing system. 1.) Grand Integra Stereo Preamplifier P-308 2.) Grand Integra Stereo Amplifier p-508 3.) Yamaha T-80 receiver 4.) Technics SL-MC400 CD changer 5.) Klipsch Type BK-OL pair of speakers - 6.) Onkyo Stereo Amplifier A-RV401 Please help if you can. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I wrote many people and nobody would even give me a guess. :( I tried the CD player, which is a seperate component from the tuner (receiver). Basically, the system has been never moved for 10 years and has worked fine until the other day. I did isolate each component which gave me the same symptoms. Low volume when I turned the volume control all the way up. The Onkyo amp is an integrated amp taking the place of the preamp and amp. I guess your last comment I already knew, but I did swap each and every thing out. Any other ideas? Thanks again for responding. I will check back tomorrow.
