Slight cracle from one channel of Jolida SJ302a

Ah, those crackling Jolidas!!!:^)

I want to say that Rives is probably right on his second guess... I just want to add that it could be a coupling capacitor(s) that don't have a good DC isolation anymore.

Most-likely it's possible to replace all coupling capacitors with better more reliable versions and better sounding that you should inquire for more.

Viridian, That is genius!

This has been a very big help to me. Thanks for all your input. And I have turned off the stove so the bacon has quieted down.

If its not to late. I had the same problem. I would look at the source selector. When the system is on but turned down. Move the Source selector just a bit in both directions and if it make the noise come and go then it is probably the problem. I had Jolida send me a new selector and then used some solder and my solder gun and replaced it. It was about 1hr work and it took care of the problem. If you do not want to do it your self call Mike at Jolida and see what they will charge you to do it. Hope this helps.
