Could be something environmental in the manufacturing process; perhaps the contacts were plated in a strong solution that was not rinsed well enough, could be humidity in your house. Let the tech fix it- it could be something other than the relay- but unless you want to pay the tech to go on a fishing expedition, play music and don't worry what it could be.
Protection Kicking On At Low Volumes?
I have been having some problems with my NAD 2200 amps. I have been running one amp in mono for each channel. I have an ARC SP-4 that I am using as a pre-amp. One of my amps started kicking on the protection at relatively low volumes and eventually stopped working all together. I brought the amp to my repair guy, his original hunch was a power supply problem, but once he got into it, he realized the relay was corroded. He cleaned it up, tested it, and for him it seems to be working fine. Meanwhile, I have been using the "working" amp for the past couple weeks in stereo mode. The same problem started to occur. I though it seemed quite coincidental that both amps, which were not bought together originally, developed the same problem at the same time. I will be taking the second amp out to my repair guy this week and picking up the "fixed" one. I have checked my connections down the line from the amp and everything seems okay. Any thoughts? Could it be something other than the relays?
