   I thought of and then dismissed that assuming both channels shared a common   
   supply, but I guess there could indeed be a separate converter for each   
   channel.  One thing I've found consistent in consumer electronics is that that   
   lazy electros generally    
   respond to heat and cold.   Warm it up with a heat gun.  Noise gone? Good   
   chance an electro bypass is the cause.
