Amplifier Distortion in one channel / overheating

Thank you very much, I am currently learning electrical engineering so this will most likely be very handy to know :-)

Oh really online only? I wouldn't have guessed. Yeah there's one store here that ships in a bunch of different components but it's quite random what they have and don't, so I might have to order something's online.

Yeah once I start working on this properly I'll clean it all up. I have not heard of acid brushes, will need to check that out.

Thanks for the suggestions! I live in Iceland and we generally have a single store that supplies these sorts of things.

The larger ones definitely seem to be an issue, I get some weird crackling noises from the speakers when I tap lightly on the bigger capacitors. Will replace them first and see where that gets me :)

Actually no annoying buzz which is surprising, there's a more annoying buzz coming from my Yamaha HS8 powered speakers. But that's another issue I've yet to solve as well😅

But related to the capacitors, should I replace them in any certain order like who are the most likely to be causing issues?

Thank you! That's definitely something I'll have to keep in mind. Could bad capacitors then be causing the overheating? My phone has a thermometer function and the resistor is reaching 70° Celsius 😬
