Difficult to find a similar switch here in the country. Thought I was clever and just bypassed the damn switch with a cable. Lo and behold, the crackling is still appearing regardless of the switch position.
What a piece of shit the CAxx10 series is. My CA-810 had the same problems just after a couple of years use, paid half a monthly wage for it as a young man, but had to sell it cheap.
So after spraying the effing switch with almost half a can of contact cleaner and pushing it up and down a thousand times, what else can I do? Hardwire the ****ing thing or send it into the nearest dumpster after taking out all the expensive caps I put into it?

Crackling...Both channels ?Sounds like a transistor breaking down. Post a photo of the power supply board.
Sounds like the protect relay contacts . Next time instead of woofer pushing ? Or volume cranking. Tap on the relay.( the relay on the underside of the amplifier )If I increase the volume in a burst
You can try cleaning the contacts on the relay. But its usually a short term fix. Personally I´d replace it.Is the protection relay really on the PSU board, directly under the input and switching board?
Resoldered, but still shutting off a little when I wiggle it. Weird. Is it possible to clean the switch surfaces?
