Hi everyone

I'm getting a faint buzzing sound from my Yamaha CA400. I'm at a loss to work out why, so I'm hoping that from my description of the symptoms, someone might be able pinpoint the cause.

The buzzing is audible when the volume control is anywhere between the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions - it disappears outside this range. Apart from this, the volume of the buzzing is the same regardless of the volume control position.

It's not loud enough to be distracting, but I could live without it if there is an easy solution. I'd be most grateful for any advice offered.

I had an amp with a similar symptom once, and found that the potentiometer was broken. The substrate had cracked, probably in two places, making it partially open and intermittent. It was noisy when the knob was positioned within a range of medium positions.

How did you fix it? Was it considered to be broke or were you able to replace the potentionmeter?

Yes, replacing the potentiometer fixes the problem.
