Beocenter 9500 CD outputs increasing static noise

12 replies

Had the same problem in a ROTEL CDP.  Replaced the TDA1541.... TWICE!  Sadly there are plenty of "bad" chips out there.  But eventually got a good one.

I should note that we are seeing (now) an increasing IC and transistor deterioration in old gear.  This seems more a matter of AGE, not USE.

True! And the TDA1541A is getting rather expensive on the second hand market...
