I was using an old optonica amp(speaker) that I got for cheap over a garage sale, it started losing channels last week running from a pc, wasn't acting up when connected to an ipod. Anyhow, it finally gave out and all it produces is very faint volume, I can still distinguish the song if I crank the volume up all the way, my guess is that the poweramp or the input caps died and I'm hearing the preamp, I don't know that much about circuits though so I can't really say. It's a socketed amp where the modules (preamp, two power amps) can be pulled apart.

The input caps are 67v 15000uf. The look a little bloated on the top but that might just be the plastic as I can press on it easily.

Thank you for your time

Oh and if it helped, before we lost it to this condition, switching input from aux to tuner fixed the problem for around a day
