Lost my LH channel, help!

[Randy W]

I have 2 AdCom 80’s vintage amps. 600W each. Counterpoint tube preamp. I use my iPhone for music source through an Apple router then to a DAC via fiber to the preamp. 4 Bose 901’s from the 70’s with 10 gauge wire. Sounds amazing but I was blasting out tunes and lost my LH channel. Any ideas? Blew my DAC? Or?... any suggestions greatly appreciated! Randy

Could be anything with stuff that old but I'd suspect the dac least. I'd start testing things one at a time....maybe a simple channel output swap at the amp to start and see if the problem follows amp/speaker.

ok thanks! I didn’t set up the system so I apologize for being naive. Would those amps have a fuse?

That’s a good idea. I’ll try that. Thanks!

Could be, if it's not obvious on the outer case check your amp's manual....

No manual of course but I’ll try your suggestion first. Cheers!

Manual is likely available online
