Woke up 3am to popping and static from left speaker. I leave my amp on 24/7 so I disconnect the inputs. Amp feels a little warm but it’s also not been making sound for 5 hours.

I moved the amp to a different outlet and still the same. Damn.

Before I call is there anything else I can try?

Bummer!
I can’t remember if you have monoblocks or a stereo amp.
If monos, swap them around and see if the problem follows one particular amp.
The only other thing I would know to do in this case is swapping out interconnect and speaker cables to see if any of those changes makes a difference. Sorry!!

I take it you are unplugging cables with the amp on.  That is never a good idea.

Where on Earth did you get the idea to disconnect the inputs? As in disonnect the interconnect?
ETA: Your OP gives the impression you do that on a regular basis.

I was eliminating it coming from the signal chain. Took seconds. Did not touch speaker cables. Moved it to another room, plugged back in and still same. I’m very careful. It is high voltage after all.

Just a simple stereo unit. I flick it on, after say 5 seconds I hear a click from the unit and about 5 - 10 seconds later it’s crunchy time I the left speaker. Damn. Ironically enough it was 3-2018 when I contacted Klaus about getting an amp built.

Ahh well. If I didn’t have this kind of luck then someone else would I guess. I’ll call in a few hours and send it to be fixed.

Yeahhhh...don't worry about that...I'll take care of it.

The guys are correct...ALWAYS  turn off the amp before touching cables...as for the static,  can be one of several culprits,  but usually it's either a cap going bad or something caused the offset to go haywire.....best case scenario is just a quick adjustment...worst case it's either replacing a cap or two or switching out a pre-driver transistor.  Not a biggie...............

Thank you Klaus. I literally just emailed you seconds ago.
