Hi PFM members, I need help on this issue.
I received 6 x NAP135 own by a friend, he just new to Naim and start collecting Naim olive boxes from different age. He run it with 52/52PS. 2 of them have HF trafo and using NAPA 4 series board. One of this pair developed distortion (Right amp) during power ON until several hours, then the distortion slowly reduced. Hook the amp to oscilloscope, and sure enough the signal is distorted.
After reading in this forum, I ordered the axial 10uf 63v cap for the regulator board. After assembly, I set the voltage to +39.2 and - 39.8 as in Colasblue thread. DC offset is 8mV and 9mV respectively. Hook to the scope and the signal is now clean. However, when I set the bias across 4 output resistor it give 0mV, but if across 2 resistors it give 4.3mV and can be trim using trim pot..but the 0mV stay, even when I adjusted the trim pot. What is wrong with my method? Measuring points as show below (photo from Colasblue)
