Khartago Mono Has Gone (mostly) Silent
« on: 7 Nov 2024, 07:42 pm »
One of my Khartagos is malfunctioning. I've tried different sources, cables, etc. to no avail. There is only the slightest amount of signal coming from the amp. When I isolate that channel and turn up the volume, the signal slightly increases to a barely audible point and with a hint of distortion. No abuse, damage, or power surge that i know of. They are plugged into a quality surge protector AC line filter/155 joule surge protector.

They are a few years old and purchased new. Has anyone experienced this or have suggestions on how to fix it? Would be nice to not have to ship back to Klaus.

Your best bet is to call Klaus. Make sure it is after 10pm his time, he is a night owl. Sorry about your amp problem. Probably not what you wanted to read, but it is the safest option.

Good luck,
JCarney

Yes, as JCarney suggested call Klaus late.  He is in Indianapolis, IN. He can be difficult to reach, so in mean time,  have you tried swapping channels on your pre amp?
Maybe open case and just do a basic integreity check, loose connection, obviously burned or swelled component. Power off of course!
Keep us posted.
