nope. RAM test says its ok. monitor signal is ok too.

samples are not immediately distorted. they became that after 20 / 30 minutes of working

If you ever have this problem ... yes - Check the connections and give them a nice plug. They look as if there can be no loose connection but push them in and be extremely careful. Especially in the small port places like in between the input on the front. Once the unit is opened there is tons of circuitry - those little places that your fingers can't reach. I used a stylus but you can use a pencil eraser. But be finesse with the pressure ... there are a lot of small diodes and soldered chips that bend if you get in their way. Watch out for those. I'll post some pictures tonight.

Ciao , sto avendo lo stesso problema anch'io . Il suono è distorto esattamente come nell'audio pubblicato da Jambo Al momento della riproduzione stessa del campione , non dopo 15-20 Min.
Il campione è registrato dall'ingresso analogico LINE dell'akai S950 . Sapete aiutarmi ? Sono disperato e preoccupato.... Ho provato a caricare anche campioni da altri floppy precedentemente registrati che non avevano problemi di alcun tipo dalle uscite audio ma anche ora escono distorti .

Hi,

If the connector's connections review as in the post above does not help, then check power supply. Are all voltages OK when samples are distorted? It looks like after some minutes when something gets warmer all things goes bad. It could be anything, but start with the power supply after careful inspection. S950 is really old machine...
