Quad 44 Oscillation
« on: January 25, 2024, 06:25:59 am »
I've followed the DaDa mods to this Quad 44 pre amp but have Oscillation on the output and am needing some hand holding as to narrowing this down to a particular circuit board at first.

As it Oscillates on all inputs I though that I'd pop the old opamps back onto the Radio input card but still oscillation so input cards clear with that logic I think?

This then leads me to the Mother board, where would I probe the signal? I was thinking along the lines of on attached pic,

Points 3 inputs to the CD4066BE from the input cards

Points F and A on IC403 for the output of this board

Which points are the outputs of the IC Switches

The points with a circled 3 are the sources' right inputs and points with a circled 5 are the sources' left inputs.  The line with circled 2s is the right bus and is finally switched by the right most 4066 to the empty circle labelled 'OUTPUT-RIGHT'.  Similarly for left bus circled 6s and 'OUTPUT-LEFT'.

4066s are passive switches.  No gain in them.  They cannot oscillate.

Well the suggested replacements require proper decoupling, TL071/072 are very tolerant of lax decoupling, so that might be a reason for oscillation - but what frequency is this oscillation?

OP tell us more about the mods you did. The DaDa site seems a bit off- the discontinued OPA604 replaced by OP07D? That seems wrong.
There is mention of adding decoupling caps on the rails if things oscillate. That would show up in both channels.
