Tidal hi-fi and master quality streaming have improved the sound of my system dramatically. If you haven’t experienced it, I highly recommend a trial. Soundstage and separation are fantastic!
Check your cable connection to that channel. Are you using RCA or XLR’s? I would swap out cables first and see if it’s a connection issue. It sounds like a capacitor discharge of some sort. NaHash can assist you at Nelion Audio.
