I have never received the manual for this machine. web page shows an empty download section. Needle Doctor where I bought the machine does not have it either. Would anyone have a copy that they will be willing to share with me? I would pay copying and postage cost. Thank you.

Hey,
Let me first tell you that I'm a complete newbie to listening to any type of high quality music.

I have an Akai amp I got while in school in the late 80's. Now when I turn it on and use any component it starts out with low volume and popping and hissing. As I try to turn up the volume it starts to make popping sounds. It will eventually jump into a normal sound, sometimes only one speaker is affected. But at anytime it goes back to the same problem.
Is it worth while having this looked at or should I just get a new amp?
