I have an Arcam Alpha 9 amplifier and for about the last couple of years or so it crackles quite badly and the sound breaks up sometimes when listening to various sources. This can be cured by simply selecting different sources on the remote a few times eg. moving it from CD to tuner a couple of times. My friend has a Delta 290 (I think) which is the older version of the Alpha 9 and that has behaved in a similar fashion for ages.
I guess it needs servicing, but I am quite dissapointed how quickly it started as other amps I have had have never behaved like this. I am tempted to service it myself if they are just going to vacuum dust of it etc, and charge some stupid price! Anybody any ideas or experienced similar and cured it themselves?
Great amp soundwise but this type of thing puts me off them somewhat
