That did make some slight change. The oscillations are more intermittent and  I have to turn up the gain to hear them well.

Any value in placing ceramics on V4a and b???

Hi

If the electrolytics you got have high frequency issues adding another ceramic to V4 might be a good idea. I would go slow and check after each change.

I found the problem.

A few days ago AT&T installed a new router in my shop. I was not here at the time and it got installed under my workbench.

Interference from the router caused the amp to display a sound that sounded just like motorboating.

What a pain in the ass problem to have to deal with!!

Cheers,

Billy
