Here's the scenario:
I power on my CA-2010 and wait a few seconds for the relay to click.
Once the relay clicks, the amp itself makes a strange noise, kind of a high-pitched oscillating whine. That lasts for about 10 or 15 seconds and then stops.
I've noticed that the output has some distortion for about another 30 seconds or so after the noise stops. Then all seems to be back to normal.
Once the amp is warmed up, repeating this doesn't produce the symptoms -- it only seems to be happening when it hasn't been run for a bit.
This is my favorite piece and the beating heart of my stereo. What can/should I do to make sure I don't have something seriously failing with it? Hoping one of you brilliant experts out there (Merrylander?) can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!!!
