Re: Clarification

So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying the noise is coming from the chassis, and not the speaker?

If so, you may have an intermittent short, or something arcing in the amp.

If the noise is still coming from the speaker even when the speaker is turned off, that's another scenerio. Some systems leave the power amp functional even when the speakers are turned off. These simply mute the audio between the preamp and power amp. Inthis case, the power amp may be making noise audible through the speaker even though the speaker is turned off.

Listen for where the noise is coming from.
