I am fixing a pair of YSM1Ps as I'm writing this. I found a response to this problem on another blog. I tried the recommended fix and it seems to have solved the problem.
Here's the link: http://homerecording.com/bbs/archive/index.php/t-171344.html And here is the response to the problem: MisterRob 09-30-2005, 06:55 Yep, I tried the basics, and it is definitely something wrong inside the amp. I sent an Email to Yorkville support yesterday. I posted here because I have little faith in tech-support (as, with other companies I have found tech-support to be extremely unhelpfull and slow) so figured they would not help me with an answer. Yorkville, however, seems to be both helpful and fast. I got a response in under an hour that read as follows: It is fairly easy for a service technician to rectify the problem. All that is required is that capacitor "C5" ( which sits right beside the volume control) should be replaced with a short circuit (a piece of bare wire will work perfectly). I can assure you that the noise will never return after C5 is shorted out. Given the quickness of the response, and the fact that the Email looked like a cut and paste job, I suspect this is a common problem with the YSM1P's. I have written back to find out why this problem would only have shown up as the speakers got older (as the previous owner says he never had the problem). I am still waiting for an answer from Yorkville. I have no particular elctrician skill, so I may have a friend who is a bit more knowledgeable about such things than I take a crack at doing this, but it seems like a fairly simple fix. Anyway, figured I'd post it in case another YSM1P owner has the same problem. Thanks for the response, I'll let you know if this works. -- yyy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yyy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11655 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34976 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
