ash Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi I have owned my TE AH130 for years and it was my main amp in the studio until just over a year ago when it developed a massive buzz/hum noise. I took it in for repair at my local music shop anyway after nearly a year I picked it up today and paid 144 quid for the work, got home plugged it in and ...... it's still buzzing! In all fairness to the shop they send gear out for repairs so not an issue with them but has anybody out there had similar problems with Trace Gear of this era (its tolex covered so GP7SM series)? The buzz is so intrusive its like having a giant fridge being amplified by a PA and yes I have tried other leads, cabs, outlets, I A-B tested it with my very ancient Carlsbro amp and my Markbass and they had none of this. I have emailed the shop but wondered if anyone knew of a solution? So far this has been a very expensive waste of time! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yea, that's sounds quite simple actually, it's most likely that the main power filtering caps need either replacement, or have simply got a broken connection. I mean, it could be other things, but it's most likely this. How the repairer could charge you 144 quid and miss that is so shocking, it actually makes me feel a bit sick.
