| Shindo preamp rewire 230v to 240v Thanks a lot @imhififan for the explanation. Will look into it.😁 | |
| Shindo preamp rewire 230v to 240v @imhififan Thanks mate. In my area the voltage can go as high as 246v. Would it be to much deviation from 230v? Moreover, is this likely to cause transformer hum and shorten tube lives? | |
| My terrible Customer Journey with the Line Magnetic LM-503PA Mono Vacuum Tube Amps Sorry to hear about you unpleasant experience with LM and their Austrian distributor. I’ve written an email in Chinese to LM’s headquarter in relation to this. Hopefully it will draw their attention and they can help resolve the dispute and speed ... | |

No audiophile friend living close by… Tried with the preamp and DAC discon... | |
| Strange ticking noise when amps were powered on from cold @tomstruck Are yours the stereo version or the monos? You sure you couldn’t hear the same ticking noise? As I said it’s VERY faint and one really has to stick the ears to the drivers to hear it. I didn’t notice it before either. Could you please... | |
| Strange ticking noise when amps were powered on from cold @oldhvymec You may be right that the monos are just fine but I just feel a bit hesitant selling them if there is slightest chance that they are faulty. Just trying to be a responsible and ethical seller. But how could the noise appear and disapp... | |
| Strange ticking noise when amps were powered on from cold @tomstruck Thanks mate. One of the potential buyers acutally contacted Aesthetix regarding this and was advised that they never heard of such probem before. I should add that I might not have the best AC in our house. Previously whenever my wi... | |
