I went to a very helpful website, and it described my situation pretty well
(after the machine is on for 5 mintues or so, you start to loose
music/sound effets... then things get crappier still). Well, it says that
the heat sinks ont he amps need to be removed, regreased, then put back on.
Greased? What type of "grease" are they talking about?

I checked the sinks, and they don't seem loose. Does this still sound
feasible to you? If so, what do I grease these up with and why? What's the
grease do?
