LED meter crosstalk in the monitor path
I recently had an issue with a broken transistor in my Eela S120 console. My go-to tech didn't accept any repairs before 6 weeks, so I went to that other guy who usually does the small jobs.

Now the main issue is fixed, but I have a constant "dp dp dp dp dp dp" on the monitors, and it's corresponding to the movement of the LED's in the meter. Eela says I should recap the power supply – but I've done this just a week ago.

Remote diagnostics, I know, but maybe someone has *the* idea! Thanks a lot!!

Check your soldering. Perhaps you haven't soldered both leads on one of the caps in the supply.
Best,

Thanks – everything looking good (if not perfect ). It also measures correctly, so my assumption is NOT the PS.

If you didn't have the noise before, i would revisit the area the technician worked on.. Perhaps he attached a ground or PS lead to a different place, or there is a bad connection somewhere.
