I am fixing to send this POS, namely SP16L to ARC for service. Just in vain, Does anybody knows why the pre-amp only POP in volume up and down after about 1/2 hour warm up and only POP from zero to 4 at the read-out level. Passing 4 level at the read-out on front panel, there is no POP. When I took them to the dealer, it did not POP since it wasn't barely warmed up.
Tube pre-amp pop
Setting up my new system : AR pre SP16l, Bryston 4 BSST, Rotel RCD 1072, Paradigm 40.2. I am kind of happy with the temporary set up for now BUT the POP issue comes up with the AR pre. Any time I touch any button on the remote for mute/unmute/volume up/volumedown.....there is a pop not loud but annoying between the two speakers. Is it the normal static pops for AR vacum tube components or there is a defective with my AR pre ? Could anything be done to eliminate the "boops" noise without sending it back to AR? PS: the Bryston amp and the Rotel CPC are dead quite. Thanks
