Dakota Kid Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Would anyone know possible reason for crackly/distorted sound coming out of my technics stereo system? I tested the speakers on another system and they were perfect. So its not the speakers. I connected a different pair of good speakers to it and their sound distorted also. The sound is fine until I turn the volume up past halfway. This happens when i play the tuner, cassette and cd's. They are all hooked into the amplifier so has to be the amplifier. Any ideas? I sprayed contact cleaner on all connections and also on the volume knob inside. Made no difference. Lastly the base and treble knobs dont seem to be working either. Maybe this is connected to the problem. Thank you for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale A B Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 You say it sounds fine until turned up halfway. Sounds like the amp is clipping and distorting the sound due to limited power. Every receiver I have ever had started to clip about halfway and that means turn it down, NP - ANVIL - Metal on Metal streamed via ProMedia 2:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you need to deoxidize them. Start with receiver first as that is all that may be needed. Deoxit and other electronics contact cleaners brands. More online or a search here will give results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
