Well I don't know if the original poster is coming back but since I applied their "temporary" fix of plugging the headphones in and out, it seems to be a permanent fix. It hasn't gone wrong n about a dozen uses over the week. This isn't scientific so it could be the cold temperatures or something, or random chance. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a temperamental problem as getting them solved can sometimes be worse, e.g. working o
after wrong fix applied etc. Anyway, how can plugging something in and out a quite modern and clean hardly used amp, suddenly resolve what my guess was something to do with the power supply or the clicking relays?
