PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel


Hopefully someone can help.

Amp is virtually new. The amp will operate wonderfully for 20 minutes and then a loud pop , and then buzzing from the right channel. I shut down the amp and then it repeats.  I switched some tubes and it is still there.  I switched the cables and know for sure it is only one channel, the right one. The buzzing does not increase with the volume increased. . 
It is the amp and not the Prima luna preamp.  Cables and connections are fine.   Pushing Focal Kanta No2's . 

Any help would be very much appreciated. I'd rather not send a 68 pound piece of equipment through the mail. 

Thanks lot - Craig

could be tubes, could be caps or anything. I heard a popping noise like that on my guitar amp it was a preamp 12au7. On my hifi was an old telefunken. I have to recap the whole amp. My lesson is I gotta have a backup amp in a situation like this so I bought a used solid state. Its not the same but at least it got me by and got my amp done the right way. Now it sounds like thunder!
