The crackling! A couple of years ago, I purchased a new set of Gold Lions for my MC275. I have been running into an issue recently where a specific Piano note would cause a crackling sound in the right channel (a little louder than the left), and the left had a slight crackling sound.
So I ordered a new set, but I also ordered a new Innuos streamer, Qutest, and some iso feet.
Once I installed everything and started listening again, I noticed that the crackling was gone.
I have no idea what happened, but I wonder when I disconnected the speaker and reconnected it solved the issue.
I also ran the amp for about 16 hours and wondered if the tube needed good heating. Maybe consider giving this a try.
