Audio Note UK Model Soro SE Integrated - audio playback distorted

Hi,

I have an issue with my Audio Note UK Model Soro SE Integrated recently.

My Soro SE is the model with ECC82, 6SL7 and 6L6/5881 tube.

The audio playback will begin to be distorted, especially obvious with mid range like vocal after power up for around 35 mins to 40 mins. The duration the audio playback begins to distort is always similar each time. This problem seemed to be related to heat, maybe some component is not working properly when heats built up.

if you have a similar experience and can advice what is the likely cause of this issue. Do also share with me if you have the schematic of this amp.

Thanks.
