I just bought a vintage Kenwood 9000gx blackplate and i hooked up my B&W DM610i and i keep on getting switched out from my right speaker than back in. So in/ out sound from my right speaker. I dont think it is my speaker cable because ive only had it for 5 months and this never happened on my Rotel 1062 integrated amp. I have my speaker wire>Kenwood>AUX cable> computer. And my AUX cable isnt one continuous cable, but one cable with a 1/8 to 1/8 going into my computer. Should i maybe buy a DAC for this?

could be a problem with the amp itself.

It was restored. All the cables are tight, but i am always having to adjust my right computer speaker and re-move it and that it works. But than i am always kicking the cables under my desk, and i dont think my speakers are shielded so those cables may affect thatconfused_face%281%29.gifI also think it may be the cables, but i dont think they are because of how new they are.

I'd also blame the amp.

Just how thoroughly was it restored?

People have different standards of restoration. Sometimes, they'll just replace the filter caps and replace an old rectifier bridge and call it "restored." Some will do that, then recap the amp and call it "restored." Then some will gut and replace everything.

So if you got one with only some power supply upgrades, it is very possible that an old part in there is causing this.

this. Also, you could test the cables for continuity.

I actually have the same with my DM610 speakers and my Kenwood receiver, but it's not constant. Usually changing the volume fixes it. I'm pretty sure it's the amp, I looked it up a while back and found it was a kenwood thing that could be easily fixed

Ya, it seems the higher the volume the more that the speakers wont do that. My seller thinks it my cables and that i should stick them through the binding posts instead of circling them on the posts. I will try that and i may be buying the 11000gx blackplate because i guess there is a buyer that really wants my amp.
