Hi, My Quad 65DFX has suddenly started whistling after a few minutes of use. The noise isn't linked to any control (or at least it seems that way). I can't understand whats caused it I've not abused it, overloaded it etc....maybe a component has just had enough. Ive seen similar threads on here but have not been able to find a solution. Any help would be much appreciated...Thanks.

If you have no serious electronic repair capability then taking your amp with its kind of issue to a good repair tech will be the only way of fixing it.
I myself who works on all types of audio electronics all work day long be they tube or SS have never worked on this model , nor any of the Kustom from around this era this line of Kustoms where made as they seem to hold up pretty well.
That all being said like 98 % of gear out there today it was made for a certain price point, not to a quality level!
If i had to take a guess on your amps issue it would be that it has a electrolytic type cap going bad in one of its circuits.

You should not need to find a dedicated Kustom tech , just a tech who is capable in SS repairs which many so called tech's that do tube stuff are not!
