Default Please help me diagnose a fault with my hi-fi!

Hi,
Can anyone help me diagnose a fault? I have a separates system and
have lately had the following problem: after listening to a CD (any
CD) for around 10-30 minutes, the sound from the right speaker starts
to go strange - kind of distorted and a bit like the white noise you
get from a badly-tuned t.v. The volume level in the right speaker also
begins to fade and sometimes cuts out completely. I am using a
seperates system, so have separate amp, CD player, speakers, etc. How
can I diagnose this problem effectively, so that I can deduce whether
it's the CD player, the amp, the speaker or cabling? The first thing I
did was check the speaker cables and interconnects were all plugged in
properly - they were...

Any advice welcome - anyone hazard a guess at which component is the
likely culprit? I do have a cassette deck so I suppose I should listen
to some tapes and that would at least rule out the CD player...
