    A21 acting strange

    The right channel of my A21 will not give out sound until after few minutes (around 5 minutes). After I switch on, I can only hear sound from my left speaker then few minutes the right channel will switch on. Need help, can I do something or just bring it to the service center (warranty expired)? The service center is charging me enormous price as if they are saying, "just buy a new one". Can I tweek something first before I give in?

    Wait... you've owned it more than 10 years?

    One of my channels started dying several months ago, in my A21. Sent it in for service, all seems to be good now.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

      Chris is right. The warranty is 5/10 years on the Halo series. Send it to Parasound...

        Not here (Hong Kong). Most electrical items sold here has 1 year warranty. Mine is just more than 2 years of usage. The distributor/service center will charge me around US$250 to fix it, not including the price of the parts (if any).

          Please add "Location: Hong Kong" to your profile. If you don't have that, we will all assume you're in the US.

          It sounds like bad solder joints. Easy fix if you know how to service electronics and have the tools & skills. My best guess is that in this case a good soldering station and soldering skills are needed.

            What part of the amp should I be looking for?

              strange behavior with A21
              by tboooe
              last night my systems exhbited very strange behavior. All of a sudden I noticed the soundstage shifted pretty far to the left. The only way I could correct behavior was to power down both my P3 preamp and A21 amp. Has anyone noticed this? What could cause this? Should I be concerned that either...

              Halo A21 bias adjustement
              by Zoran
              Hi all,

              I can see that the left channel of my Halo A21 goes slightly warmer than the right one - difference not too prominent, but still detectable even by a naked hand. I measured approx. 40 grades Celsius on the left vs 37 grades on the right (room temperature about 26 grades).

              A21 Imaging?
              by locomk
              I have an A21 Halo and it seems like the imaging is always coming from the right center not fully centered. I tried to make adjustments to the gain knobs and levels in my amp but it seems the right channel is louder.

              After the Amp has been on for about 30 minutes, it seems to warm up...
