Source of Static?


I'm experiencing intemittent static through both speakers. Not only that, but the volume momentarily drops while static is heard. It sounds like an incomplete connection. 

I skimmmed through past threads and one possibility, it seems, is a bad solder joint in my integrated. 

Unfortunately, I don't have another amp to swap into the system.

Any suggestions for other things to try, before I send amp back to manufacterer?

What are you working with OP? Pretty sterile description. You're running an integrated? It happens no matter the source? Volume control goofin' up..

I have a LOT of older gear, a dirty pot will do exactly what you're describing..

Hope you find it..
Lotso luck. It's a daunting task to attribute fail to a component without being able to substitute.

Sorry-- 65 year old brain is distracted this morning-- the speakers are at least 10 years old.
