Help with distorsion on start up of home theater


Hey all , it seems when i turn on my yamaha reciever and power up my bryston amp I get a distorted sound. If I turn on one before the other it does not make a difference. And if I play the distorted sound through the speakers it warms up and after about 25min it finally comes around. The distorted sound is very audible , it sounds like a dirty volume nob with the music cutting in and out. Does any one know what gives here. I also unhooked the bryston and the interior amps seem to play fine. I also hooked up the bryston to another preamp of a friends and it seemed OK.

If anyone knows anything I would appreciate some thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance.

Ya I have left it on but it needs to be powered and working all the time. If I leave it , takes time once I put in a disk the distortion is their for about 20min. I think it might just be time to toss it eh!
Well , thanks for the advice and I should try and spray the preouts well. It seems it has to do with heat. I hooked up a hair dryer and blew it at the preouts and the unit came around much quicker. Like two minuets on High.

I know about the dust in the volume thing as I have fixed alot of equipment for friends. This problem sounds like a dirt dust thing , just not in the volume area.

Cheers
