Newbie here, both to the forum and to high quality home A/V.
I have a two year old Emotiva Fusion that was never used. I just purchased KEF Q300 and Q600 and have some old Onkyo surrounds.
Upon install, I have been hearing intermittent crackle/pop sounds from one channel (FL). I assumed I had compromised speaker wire somewhere so to confirm I swapped Center and FL channels at the receiver. The sounds followed the swap and began emanating from the Center channel. I believe that points to the amp circuit from the receiver, does it not.
What are my options to fix or further isolate this?
i see. you might want to check/re-apply solder on input and output terminals of FL channel. re-apply to all of the inputs if that won’t help, it’s perhaps noisy output transistors(or amp modules whichever applies). usually they may have hotter temperature than on all other channels.
