one channel dead as a door nail


Put on my rig like I always do. First I fire up my Bel Canto SEP1. Takes 20 seconds than I put on my Bel Canto SET40 amp. Since my tuner is always on the sound comes on in a few seconds. Everything is cool until I turn on my cdp. A not too loud crackle/pop. No sound out of one channel now, whether it be tuner or cdp. Help

First, I don't think your allowing nearly enough time for your pre-amp tubes to warm up. Give them at least a couple of minutes before switching on the amplifier in the future. Then make sure all of your connections are firm. (I had a cleaning lady dust behind my equipment rack, inadvertantly disconnecting a speaker cable with the result of one "dead" channel). Then check your fuses and tubes. I hope this helps,
