Update on this. I can't believe how foolish this is. The problem with static sounds in the amp was due to my subwoofer not being hooked up correctly. That is why only certain songs would make noise. I had the ground wire, which was supposed to be attached to the positive terminal of the right channel in the negative terminal. I put it in the right place and it is back to sounding as good as new.
Buying used vs. New
Does anyone have reservations about buying used?
I used to swear buy it until recently. I bought a preamp that arrived with a humming problem from the transformer because the delivery company dropped it. Fortunately, I had bought it new and the store was able to replace it. I was just thinking, what if this was used, I would be out of luck in terms of getting it fixed. Also, I bought a used piece of equipment on Audiogon a few years ago that is now giving me trouble. It is out of warranty and was fairly expensive, and now has issues. Now I'm seriously considering buying new, even though my money will only stretch about half as far.
