    Why does my Tangent AMP-50 have a high buzzing sound and distorted audio?
    • J
      Justin GallagherAug 3, 2025
      High buzzing, weak bass, poor stereo perspective, and sound distortion in your Tangent Amplifier can be due to several reasons. Check if the audio input cables are correctly connected or damaged. Ensure the ground cable for the record player is connected. The record player pick-up may be defective. Verify that the speaker connections are in phase, ensuring positive and negative poles are correctly connected at both the amplifier and speaker. Check for conductor wires of the speaker cable touching each other. Also, ensure bass and treble controls aren't set too high for your speaker specifications and that the volume isn't too high.

      If you're only getting sound from one channel on your Tangent Amplifier, start by checking the balance control to ensure it's correctly adjusted. Then, inspect the audio input cables for incorrect connections or damage. The input source might be defective. Also, check the speaker cables for incorrect connections or damage, and ensure the speakers themselves are not defective.
