I had a similar problem many years ago. The volume would fluctuate in one channel with a little static. I narrowed it down to the crossover pot in one of my speakers. I twisted the pot quickly back and forth for a couple minutes and my problem was solved. I followed up with some Radio Shack tuner cleaner.
Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II
I posted a few days ago about my left channel volume fluctuating from time to time. I got advice saying that it was most likely either the tubes in the preamp or a bad solder joint on an interconnect.
I switched the tubes in the preamp from left to right and right to left and the problem stayed the same (left channel fluctuating). Then I switched the ICs between the preamp and the amp from right to left and left to right. The problem stayed the same (left channel still fluctuating).
I did not bother switching the ICs from the cd player to the preamp because the problem remains even if I listen from a different source.
What is next in line for me to test? If you would like to see the other thread, it can be found here:

Forgive me for starting another thread, but I know old threads don't always get read.
