My newly aquired Dual CV-1600 might be dead
Hey, long time lurker here. I hope this is the right place to post. I hope some of you might be able to help me, I am kind of desperate. Also english is not my first language, so sorry for any typos.
I am in my final semester of University and wanted to buy myself a little gift in form of a simple but decent setup to get more into the audiophile world. Ifound a Dual CV-1600 near me that has what I am looking for. Unfortunately I couldnt test it at the sellers home but he showed me that the power workes and reassured me that it worked he last time he used it (he worked at dual so that gave him a little credibility in my eyes).
Since I dont have speakers yet, I tried to listen via headphones (beyer dynamic 1990) to my denon dp-300f, which I know works. But sadly after a lot of trying, no sound, no music.
Heres what I tried already:
Switched the denon amp to off, used the phono input on the denon, switched around the cinch to DIN adapter (its a 4 cinch to DIN cable for input and output), made sure monitor was off but no sound
Switched to tuner input, turned the denon amp on, switched around the adapter cables again, but no sound
The Dual is clicking after turning it on indicating the savety mechanism (i dont know the proper english word for it) is working, I hear a buzzing sound while putting my headphones in and out so theres power there.
Might it be a bad relay or oxidation somewhere? I am grateful for every Idea!
