Amplifier Acting Strange (Static & Distortion)
#11
the rca output of a deck is ground so how can it touching ground create noises
and the problem you have i would say you have a part in there failing or already has failed
take it in and get it repaired at a reputable shop
we can guess all day as to what it is
and thats all were doing is guessing
i get all kinds of calls each week wanting for me to quess whats wrong
i don't guess unless its something obvious

not just what they think they know
i honestly wonder where you get all your knowlege
do you have a huge collection on your hard drive of other peoples post that you add together to improve your weath of know nothing knowlage
it people like you that know nothing that gives the internet a bad name
as a rule of thumb i ususally don't respond to most of your misinformation post just to avoid arguing about something you know nothing about
may i quote jody (There you go AGAIN talking about things you know nothing about...)

for the original poster
wire up a second amp see if it does the same thing
if it dosn't its your amp and probably has something fried in it
repair shops will not guess what it is
they usually have a fee to open it up figure out what is
and give you a price

Go back to that thread pinhead.. from the last post made it sounds like jordy confused the results from two amps strapped as being one amp... HAHAHA (I was right, lalala)
Second... sorry bud but signal ground is isolated from chassis ground to at least some degree in even the cheapest of equipment... I think that you already know that and are just trying to be an ***...
If you didn't know that then I would suggest that it is you who should go back to school.. oh ya what university was it that you attended ?
ANYWAY... Id go over all wiring ect. and check the RCA inputs on the amp as I suggested already.. if you still cant figure it out take it in to a shop...
Be sure to post back what the problem was...

Back to the origional topic...
-If you completly unplug the RCA's from the amp do you hear the same issues?
My guess is yes you will hear it because the amp is malfunctioning. If the sonic issues go away, plug in a CD diskman to the amp and see how it performs (you might have to buy the 1/4" to RCA adaptors at 'Radio Shack')

Thank you all for your suggestions and thoughts. I will go ahead and try JohnVroom's suggestion and if it is still the amp then I will take it in to the shop and let you guys know what the problem was.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
Thanks again for your thoughts.

Hey pinhead... if you need proof put an ohm meter to an amps ground and to the neg RCA input.... if its fully isolated.. (AKA balanced or true differential) then it will read complelty open.... Otherwise Iam not sure Ive ever seen one read less then 20ohms and your usually looking at alot more then that...
For a true reading you should find the neg input impedance as a DMM dosent give a true reading... (but should illistrate my point well enough)
