No Sound from Right Channel

Hi Paul,

The bad voltages followed the bad board.

At this point should I simply order a new C4S board (and perhaps a new capacitor, just in case)?

Thanks,

Scott

Yes, a new board and the parts that go on it.  Definitely do not replace any capacitors.

 

[ScottAstroNut]

OK. Will do.

Thanks, Paul, for all your help.

Well, the new C4S board arrived today.

I very carefully assembled and soldered the board and attached it to the rest of the BeePre. I then redid ALL of the resistance and voltage tests. All values were close to spec!

Keeping my fingers crossed, I put the BeePre back into my stereo system. Turned on my Eros 2, the Rega P6, the BeePre, and then the Kaiju. I held my breath as I dropped the needle on to the record...

Hallelujah!!! Sweet music appeared out of BOTH speakers!!! And GOOD music, too!!!

I haven't had time to critically listen to the BeePre yet, but that will be coming later this evening. I can hardly wait!

I can't tell you how relieved I am that we solved this problem. Paul and Derek, thank you SO MUCH for your help with this! I am extremely grateful!

All best wishes,

Scott

I'm glad you got it going!

Boy, what a difference! The BeePre sounds worlds better than my previous preamp. The sound really opened up,  with greater resolution and  dynamics. I feel like I have a totally new and improved system. I couldn't be happier!

Thanks again!

Scott
