Hi,
after several months of sweet music from my BII, I noticed quite heavy distortion in the sound.
It suddenly appeared.
I try to change different sources, but the problem remains.
I check the power on Placid BP_HD, TP_CCS=380mA, TP_Shunt=180mA on both rails. Output voltage is set to 13,5V.
When is no sound from source, I get no distorsion. It is present only when the music is playing.
I belive, that Legato is the source of the trouble.
What are the first steps for troubleshooting this issue?

regards

Should I start with coupling caps?

Well it might not hurt, but if you needed them you would have needed them from the start - unless something changed in the setup.

I would look for anything that might have come loose or a weak solder joint etc. Is it only from one channel or both? Does swapping channels have any effect?

I think, that I eliminate the possibility for cold solder joint, because I allready resolder everything.
The last thing I done, was connecting QN2,QN3 and QN5,QN6 for thermal conntact.
Changing channels dosen't have any impact, since distortion is present on both channels.

Update.
I manage to resolve this issue.
When I replaced wireing with silver wires, I made "stupid" mistake and swap GND and SE output on both channels.
Thank you for all for the support.
regards
