Marantz PM 6010OSE amp input dial problem

[admin_exported]

Hi. I've recently experienced problems with volume from the right channel. It usually starts with crackling from the right speaker with vastly reduced volume. When I switch the input control knob left then right it cures it, but then the next day it's back again. Any ideas?

What would you recommend as an upgrade if I go down that route - I play mostly classical stuff?

Thanks

I'd say your amp is cheap enough to risk popping the top off and using a cotton bud covered in cleaning stuff and scrubbing right around the point of turning for that area of your amp and I'd say 5/10 times that fixes anything I've had that goes wrong lol. Give it a go you can't really break it just giving it a clean. Did it to the old Sony stereo amp running the speakers in my front room for the tv when the volume control was crackling/losing 1 channel and it's been good as new since

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I agree that it would be worth having a look inside to see how easy cleaning the contacts would be. I'll have a go tomorrow and let you know if it works. Thanks.
