I once had an MC240 power amp that acted that way and one day when connecting the preamp I got a small flash or spark at the input jack.
I don't know what made me do it, hunch maybe, but I unscrewed the power xfmr and was able to lift it enough to see that one of the wires had been crushed between the bottom of the xfmr and chassis. I was able to unsolder that wire, feed some heat shrink over it and that problem went away.
