Many may already know this but I did not - NVA Amps

I have been having issues with distortion for a few weeks and I first noticed it on the right speaker . After much messing about I had decided that one of the Quads had a problem panel so made arrangements to get it back to AQuadthing Audio . Then today I noticed that the left speaker was starting to distort too which means it was not likely the Quads were at fault .
After a bit of plugging and unplugging of various components I found out that NVA Amps do not like DC Blockers . I have one pluged in and then run my extension from that . Taking the DC Blocker out of the chain restored the clean sound and allowed the volume to be pushed up without the sound breaking up with distortion .
Now there may be many on here that knew about this but I have found out the hard way . Things have returned to normal now and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have not damaged the Amp .
Hope this helps some one else .
