Technics SU-X502 Amp Crackles

[MouthBoy]

Hi All,

Today I bought a few bits from a friend to swap out of some older stuff I had.

The amp however seems to crackle the first time any music is played through it. This can last for a few seconds only or up to about half a minute. I have tried the speaker A and B outputs but same result. I have also changed the input device, the speaker cable, the speakers and taken the EQ out the mix, but it stills does it.

Am I doing something stupid, or is there something I can check to ensure its actually a fault rather than be doing something wrong?

Thanks

Scott

Thanks for the advice. I have talked to my friend and he has said to pass it back to him and he will give my money back.
