Yes its a beast.
The crackling could be the relay but could as equally be a small signal transistor going south. The noise started on once the unit had got warmed up. You will need to sort this before doing a recap.
I will find the SM and refresh myself on what the issue could be.
See the "pre out / main in" sockets at the back? Pull the jumpers and run an RCA lead from the pre out to another amplifier. Then run a very low level sound source into the main in - under both of these tests the noise will only be present in one stage of the amplifier - let us know which test has the noise.
