Title: fast clicking in right channel [SOLVED]
Post by: SammyJ on January 21, 2017, 05:00:06 AM
Hello all,
"Recently", my reduction has developed a fast paced clicking in only the right channel. I say "recently" because I only noticed it after hooking my reduction up to my Crack. It may have existed before but I had never hooked it up to a headphone amp, so this is really the first time I'm noticing it. After reconnecting it to my power amp, the clicking did persist.

Noise does not follow the tubes and I've tried running it w/o an input connection as well to isolate the cause being my phono input. The noise appears a few seconds after turning on the reduction, I'm guessing have the tubes have heated?

I managed to get a 5 sec recording which can be heard here: https://files.fm/u/3rjub86a (it's in M4A format, can convert if needed). Sorry for the external link, the forum doesn't allow this filetype unfortunately.

Any thoughts?

Wow, solved that one quick. There was a wireless router near(ish). Put a metal plate between the two and the reduction magically goes quiet. Guess it's sensitive :)

Anyways, beautifully quiet now, and what a treat paired with the Crack!
