Diminished sound in left channel


Hi, I've just recently noticed this problem in my system and I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice as to what the problem may be:

After listening to music for a few hours the sound coming out of the left channel of my system is diminished by about 75%. If I turn the amp off for an hour or so everything is back to normal. It's definitely not a problem with the speaker (I've swapped the speakers and the same problem happens). I guess one possibility is the fuse in the amp, but I wanted to get some opinions from the forum before changing them out. I thought that when a fuse goes it's all or nothing and there would be no sound from the affected channel.

My setup is:
JM Lab Electra 926 speakers

Classe CAP-150 integrated Amp connected to a PS Audio Digital Link III DAC via analog coax cables

SqueezeBox v3 connected via a digital cable to the PS Audio DAC

Thanks for any insight anyone can offer.

I think eventuslly, it is going to occur again and will come a point where it is not going to restore itself. You should have it looked at by a technician. I have had a similar problem in the past and it was a blown resistor.
Scott, My Rogue 88 amp was still under warranty at the time, so I only paid to ship it for repair.
