In case it helps, Samuel Furon (Atelier Audio, link below) is the distributor for Canada. He might be able to be of assistance.

Thanks for the info. I got the issue handled. It seems that a dirty speaker connection was causing the problem. I've never in my life experienced a dirty connection cause that kinda of loud, popping noise.
The thing that concerns me the most though is that I sent an email to Yamamoto telling them about the problem and I have received no replay back from them in over a week.

Mr Turner: I want to thank you for your casual remark in an old post to the effect that a dirty speaker connection had caused a loud, popping noise in your Yamamoto A-08. I came upon your post after days of cleaning and retensioning sockets and testing tubes. I had experienced not only popping but humming, crackling and hissing sounds. I was looking for a repairman in the US when I came on your old post. Sure enough: those massive speaker connectors were heavily tarnished internally, and cleaning them cured all the problems. I'm very grateful.
Glad my documented frustrations from almost 8 years ago could be of use. Hope you're enjoying the Yamamoto. It is an amazing amplifier. I've moved on to Kharma speakers now so unfortunately a 2 watt amplifier won't cut it any longer. I still miss my Supratek/Yamamoto/Von Schweikert dB99 combo.......

Good to know you got the problem taken care of.
Yamamoto-san's english is very minimal and he relies exclusively on his distributors to handle those situations. He does not reply to my emails either :-)
