Hi
I purchased a second hand Denon 2311 from AVforums as a stop-gap receiver to take me in to the HD sound age and get all my HDMI devices plugged in (I came from a Denon 3803). Its done the job ok so far but would like to get another year of use out of it before I upgrade. Am upgrading my projector this year.
Past few weeks it has developed a fault. The front left is significantly quieter than the other channels. I am sure it is the channels as have tried switching banana plugs round and the fault switches to whichever speaker I plug in to the front left channel. I can boost the channel to around +8db in the setup relative to the other speakers but I believe it sounds distorted slightly and is clearly not right. The fault also seems (to a degree) influenced by the temperature of the amp, how long it has been switched on etc.
2 questions - What could be the problem? And is it solvable easily (I only paid £70 for the amp). Could it be dust related and compressed air + contact cleaner could help?
Any ideas I suspect @lucid would know what the likely fault could be and if a repair is possible? Thanks in advance.
