Thank you Enzo,
As a manufacturing Plant Engineer, I usually don't have time to do much PCB troubleshooting. I usually just yank the problem one out and put in a new one so the machine is up and running again. Obvious problems like burned or broken components are easily repaired and put on the shelf for spares but intermittent problems are hard to find and often not worth the time/risk to troubleshoot/repair.
However, since this is my own personal amp, I want to repair it.
I will be following your advice and let you know within the next few days exactly what I find.
Again, thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.
