Quad 99 stereo power amp HELP

DAVID PUGH New member Username: Pugster STOKE ON TRENTENGLAND Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05	Posted on Tuesday, September 06, 2005 - 12:35 GMT My Quad 99 stereo power amp keeps cracking and popping. This fault was diagnosed 12mths ago and sent to be serviced. It took 4 mths to get it back and now it's doing the same thing again. Quad said there was no fault found and charged me £60+. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME AS I HAVE NO BACKUP AMP

Possibly the problem will have become easier to trace at this point. Your description of the problem is too vague to give any more advice than that.

Jan Vigne Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigne Dallas, TX Post Number: 5481 Registered: May-04	Posted on Tuesday, September 06, 2005 - 14:55 GMT Well, Quad or one of the authorized service centers are the folks who will have to repair this; aren't they? There's no way to track this problem on a forum if Quad couldn't do it in a month.

danny_l Unregistered guest	Posted on Saturday, October 01, 2005 - 02:11 GMT Hi David! Iv just started having the same problem as you. Do you get the poping even when you are playing music? My quad pops even when I switch it off. Im not too sure if its my CD, pre amp or power amp?
