    Got it set up and warmed up. But there's distortion on one channel for some reason. I'll investigate!

    Bugger! It's the SM-70 Pro power amp. Distorting on left channel and seems to be very hot above the power transformer rather than the heat sinks, as you would normally expect on a Class A amp. I've hardly used this since having a dodgy tranny replaced.

    I'll have to check it over. Maybe swap over the output from secondaries and see if the issue swaps channels.

    Got the basic SM-70 rigged up instead. Sounds very fine.

    Bummer. I have been de-bugging a JLH 10w Dual Mono Class A I built some years ago, over the last couple of days as the L channel kept blowing the PCB fuse. Fixed the board and then had smoke from the L channel PS rectifier board! So I am now rebuilding that. R channel is fine.

    Hope you get it sorted.

    Think I've tracked down a suitable transformer, but I'll check it over before ordering bits. Just wondering if a decent SMPS could be an option. Need to locate my multimeters now. Not seen them for a year or two.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
