greetings, i am new to this forum and am considering purchasing this amp. the owner states and i quote

"Please note that late last year I began to have to rotate the amp's input level control occasionally on start up (big knob on the far right in the photos) because the right channel seemed to be playing softer. After that, it worked perfectly. The input level control may need to be sprayed with contact cleaner. I don't know if this signals a bigger problem with the amp, but I needed a surround amp, so this one needs to go. I will guarantee the amp to not be DOA. "


could anyone tell me how serious a problem this could be and should i consider this amp?

thanx all in advance

I doubt that it is the gain pot on the amp that is causing this if it is only at startup. I would go here and ask if I were you.
