what is this?
Like the title says, this is not even recording related... If I need to post elsewhere, or even just delete it, please let me know. Hopefully I may get some kind of answer, seeing as how some people on here know a bit about the internals of electronics.
My dad has this Kenwood amplifier made in the '70s, which has a phono pre in it that is, in the best terms, kind of scratchy. We play the radio, works fine, put a tape in, works fine, put on an album (on the brand new Technics turntable I got him for christmas), sounds like shit. We opened up the case today and dusted it all off, but I (in my very limited knowledge of electronics) could not see any reason it would be doing this. All of the electronics are on a PCB which would be a bitch and a half to get out of the case, but all of the solder joints seem solid from the topside.
Anybody know about this kind of stuff, or where I could be directed to be able to fix this?
