Suddenly out of the blue i get a faint, constant 60hz hum sound coming out of both speakers on KA-4002 amp. She was running without issues like this for a few months now. I also have been hearing intermittent sharp crackles as of late, not often enuf to be a big alarm or annoying, but i notice it. Not sure if related or not. All caps are new, new wires, re-flowed rails. The hum occurs even as the amp is idling. Tried a different power circuit, its still there. Do I have a output transistor going out/shorting to ground causing this hum or... im looking for ideas...
