RE: Signs of amp failure, need advice

What kind of amplifier are you using? It sounds like the volume control could have issues with dirty contacts and I would start with a good cleaning with some Deoxit. This would need to be sprayed into the control from the inside of the amplifier (not just down the shaft from the outside). If you are not familiar with this product or how to best use the contact cleaner there are U tube videos you can look at. Once you spray the Deoxit into the volume control you rotate it back and forth a number of times to help the cleaning process and this may eliminate your issue.
