Dave<p>Assumed this was a spade terminal to earth and broke it off the power transformer. I think this is a ring lug thermistor? I get 120ohm across the two wires at room temp. Any idea what the nominal value might be? The markings E2 75, maybe 7.5kOhm? </p><p>Amp goes into protection mode without it so I've put a 2kOhm resistor in its place which lets it power on but the speakers are very quiet now. Could it be winding back the power in response to temperature? <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/hifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hifi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
Dr. G. Power<p>Isn’t it funny how we grew up with stereos—left and right channels, all that—only to end up in a world where most people opt for a single stylish, wireless mono speaker? I’m not saying modern portable speakers don’t sound great—they do. But it’s curious how the masses just stopped caring about stereo sound? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hifi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a></p>
