Re: [oldsynths] Crackly output

2006-06-13 by Paul Kavicky

any chance of it being a some cold solder joint on the output jack or some such simple thing?

at least it's an easy fix.

Hi all,

I just bought a Yamaha CS5. There are a few crackly pots, but they're
improving with use. What isn't improving with use is a random
crackling in the output signal. I thought originally it might be the
keys, but I even hear it when I turn up "initial level" in the amp
section so that you hear sound without a key-press.

Does anyone have an idea what the root of the trouble might be? I've
cleaned the output jack with contact cleaner, tried plugging it into
several speakers/amp systems, etc... all with the same result.

The person I bought it from didn't hear the crackles, so I'm wondering
if something happened during transport or if he just didn't notice.

Cheers,
