Sid K Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 HI Everyone. In my left khorn every once in a while I can here a crackling noise. It's not noticeable when the volume is turned up. It's not very loud and doesn't increase when the volume is turned up. When I unplug the speaker cable from the amp it stops. Any idea what could be causing this?

baron167 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Swap the L/R speaker outputs to see if the crackle follows. If it stay, it's the amp. If it moves, it's either cabling or speaker-related. Good luck! That would drive me nuts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMRR Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have a volume control that's starting to go in a reciever, does this in certain ranges. I also had a squawker go bad in a La Scala, never outright crackled but was obviously distorted on clean acoustic guitar and piano recordings. You couldn't tell listening to a rock record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have certain recordings where it does it exactly the same everything I listen to That disc... I am fairly certain it's the source material. Other songs with a similar instrument and intensity, or more intense, doesn't crackle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you swapped cables left/right and the problem stayed with the same speaker and did not move, the problem is the speaker, not the amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched the speaker cables and the sound moved to the left speaker. It was the right originally. So it most be the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Dirty tube socket or bad output tube. Also, you shouldn't be disconnecting speaker cables while the amp is on -- hopefully you know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
