My Pathos preamp makes a soft clicking sound when changing volume or inputs. It only comes from the device, not through the loudspeakers. Leave it to those Italians to a relay switch that sounds kind of sensual.
Pathos Classic Remix Clicking Changing Inputs
I'm trying out a Pathos Classic Remix from Upscale Audio. When switching from input to input, I'm hearing a clicking noise coming from the unit. As the switching is done by relays, this may be normal. But is this normal? Occasionally I'll hear it slightly through the speakers as well, but it's mostly from the unit.
I tried writing Pathos but got no response.

@analogj Did you call Upscale Audio? They are the US distributor. |
I'm the Canadian service tech. The clicking you hear from the unit itself is perfectly normal. Relays make noise when they switch. You may experience a small, and I stress small pop from your speakers occasionally. That is a small amount of DC offset coming through, or possibly a little interference being picked up. Sometimes that DC is coming from the source you are using, or it could be the tubes. If it is low level, and/or occasional, then it is nothing to worry about. |
Thank you @blackdoghifi |
