shortly after my last post, the amps started making that loud noise again, though not as loud as last friday morning. i put a sound level meter on top of the amps. it measured a constant 61db on one, 59db on another. it sounds like the transformers. the noise eventually went away. so far the noise varies with amount of warm up time.
Gamut M250 MK3
I got a pair of Gamut M250 Mk3 mono-blocks that went in place of a D200 mk3. They were installed yesterday, and worked fine for a day. This morning I turned on the amps to warm up. A bit later I went back to the listening room and heard a very loud hum. First I looked out the window for a garbage truck; then put my ears against the speakers. Nothing there. It was coming from the amps. Power-cycle of both amps confirmed that both were making that noise, though one was louder than the other. About 10 minutes later the noise was gone. I have a feeling that this might be one of those intermittent problems that's difficult to track down, but I do want to get to the bottom of it while they're in warranty. To other owners of the M250, have you ever experience such a problem?
