Tried two different HA3000's and same results.
Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem.
I brought this up previously but was not very specific.
I bought an H3000 phono stage which I liked very much and was perfectly silent. I then bought an HA Head Amp which had a slight hum. Shortly after I got it one of the transistors blew(I believe,) it went dead and I had to return it to Korea for repair.
Since I've gotten it back the hum is worse. When I play a record the sound covers the hum but when it stops the hum can be heard and felt from the speakers where I am sitting about 8 feet away. I asked the maker about this and he told me he sent it back to me in perfect condition so that's a dead end.
Is a hum to be expected? Do you live with it? Is it a grounding problem? I asked the maker about this as well and he did not respond to the query.
I would greatly appreciate any advice from Allnic users and especially those with the HA3000. Do you get a hum? Is it noticeable when an lp isn't playing? Any grounding suggestions?
My amp is a VTL S200 with an Ayre pre K5 xe mp.
VTL super scoutmaster with 3D tonearm.
Conditioner is an Isotek Sigma.
As I said everything is perfectly quiet until I turn on the HA.
I want to fix this because I like the Allnic sound enormously and don't want to be without the HA. It really is wonderful.
Thanks for any thoughts you may have on my situation.
