Anyone:

I've been running my AKSA 100 for over a year now and I've just run into my first problem. Here it is:
I turned the amp on this evening and found that the left channel wasn't working. I checked connections (external, source, etc) and all checked out.

I checked my fuses on the amplifier PCB and they checked out fine (with DMM). Furthur inspection revealed that the positive voltage rail on one side of my power supply PCB only had 25mV difference from star ground (when it should have been a positive DC voltage). The other three DC voltages measured correctly.

I believe I have some power supply diodes that have passed on. Can anyone confirm?   If so, please let me know where I can get some suitable replacements asap. (I have a very hard time living without this amp....- it's that good....thanks Hugh       ).
If anyone thinks this is not the diodes, please speak up, I'd hate to be going down the wrong path here.

Quick replys will be grately appreciated.
Please note when making suggestions for replacement parts:
I have access to radioshack as well as any online parts retailer.

Thanks!

Hi Shayne,

Yes, diodes, you are right on the money!

Shayne, have a close inspection of the diodes.  Let me know privately what markings are on them.

Don't be concerned, this is quite fixable......

Cheers,

Hugh

Hugh:

I have sent you a private message with the diode markings on my power supply PCB.... please check your inbox.

If you did get them, shoot me an email at shaynesintz@hotmail.com, and I'll be more than happy to send them to you via email.

Thanks!
