I do, thanks for link. after cleaning all RCA connectors on pre-amp and power amp and re-cabling everything I may have solved the issue, but it's an intermittent problem, just have to keep listening and hope I  have  resolved the  issue. At that price it's certainly something to consider. I have a few shows I've recently recorded so I'll be listening carefully. I found a Phase Linear used for a decent price through Hawthorne Audio in Seattle as well. Hope the Marantz holds up as cash is tight for us as with it is for most of us. Bob

Check out the online Goodwill sales.  I believe they ship most items all over the US unless it is too big or too heavy.
